2016 Unofficial SPAM Challenge

[Jon Solberg]

Ribeye guy started a great thread looking for SPAM recipes. That thread got some serious traction but didn't yield much in the way of recipes. Got me thinking. There are some amazing culinary minds in the pit. Lets see what you can come up with.

Create a recipe for outdoor or indoor Spam. Post it up here. Make it pic heavy. Post as many as you want.

Lets have some fun with this.

Do you have the hams to take on the 2016 Unofficial SPAM Challenge?

[Jon Solberg]

I'm gearin up in the garage!

[Powersmoke_80]

You are the SPAM, I mean You are the Man!

[Jon Solberg]

So Dar is it far to say that you will not have a page in the 2016 Unofficial SPAM Cookbook ?

[Tim Clark]

I think you could probably through all those ingredients in a pot and wind up with something pretty edible. I'd probably leave out the Spam though.

[ribeyeguy]

Guess it's time to finally try that Chocolate Spamshake that I've been thinking about.

[Jon Solberg]

Dude. You write it I'll drink it. : )

[Jerod Broussard]

I'd have to check out the Establishment number before I bring a can home.

[Spinaker]

Gonna try this, this weekend.

Man that looks good enough to eat! I didn't know Spam could look so tasty.

[MBMorgan]

Here's a link to something we saw (and yes, tasted) a lot in Hawaii:

[gcdmd]

If you don't have a musubi maker but do have a sushi mat you can use the same ingredients to make sushi rolls, cutting the Spam slices into strips.

[ribeyeguy]

Wow Jon, pretty strong initial entry in the outdoor category! I have to run to the store tomorrow to grab a few cans although at first I'll probably be playing in the indoor category, supposed to rain all day tomorrow. Next weekend though is supposed to be sunny and in the 60's. I'm thinking Apple wood smoked pulled spam.

[Jon Solberg]

Thx REG, You might want to think about the low sodium stuff. Meantime I will start working on desalination. I'm thinking its a must.

[ribeyeguy]

I've got a million ideas for the indoor category, Spam in a blanket, Spam sandwich wraps, Spam Spam Spam Spam baked beans Spam and Spam ala Monty Python.

Just so you know, my wife doctors pork 'n beans to become BBQ beans, then lays 6 strips of SPAM on top (ala BBQ beans and bacon). Cooks at whatever temp she cooks them on, then I eat more than my fair share. D*** good eats!

[JohnF]

Oh, this is going to get real good, LMAO

[David Parrish]

Nice cook Jon!

[LA Pork Butt]

Getting out of the box can be fun!

[Jon Solberg]

Come on LA. Cajun us up a can somehow. : )

[LA Pork Butt]

Okay Jon Solberg! How does Ya Spama Cakes sound? If it is pork or Spam it has got to be good. I'll get it together before the week is out.

[Jon Solberg]

That be great! (I have no idea what that is : ) LA Pork Butt ,

[IrondeQuer]

Wow, great idea! I have to say, the only way I've ever eaten Spam is fried, sometimes directly and sometimes breaded first. Good after a night at the bars, or the morning after a night at the bars. Jon Solberg's looks quite tempting.

[boftx]

Does SPAM need to be the main course or can it be the main ingredient?

[Jon Solberg]

Great to see ya bo! Any course will do. Guest ,

[Huskee]

Jon great work and I agree that's a killer entry, one to set the bar and the tone of this thread! If I didn't HATE cloves with a blinding passion I'd be tempted to replicate this.

You've inspired me. I work the next 3 nights but I'll have a few nights off to cook later in the week. I'll contribute to this thread then (hopefully).
