We are in love with Spam occasionally—once or twice a year.
Fried Spam and sticky rice, fried Spam and potatoes.
All intelligent and good-looking people like Spam, do you? 😁
SPAMbled egg burrito for breakfast this morning. I've eaten every variety of SPAM except turkey because it's not pork, therefore, not SPAM.
A few are nasty, a couple are weird, and only the original has the true flavor. Homemade teriyaki sauce on regular spam is much better than the teriyaki SPAM.
Spam for the win! Love it. +1 on the comment above about Teriyaki Spam. Original Spam with a decent Teriyaki sauce is much better. I make Spam fried rice that way. Yum.
Spam, that damn oversalty reconstituted ham. The only issue I have with the state of Hawaii is that they kept that company in business.
I remember when my mother served it to us as kids. First bite, wow this is pretty good. Second bite, wow not as good as the first bite. Third bite, this is just too salty. Fourth bite, please momma - don't make me eat anymore. Fifth bite, never happened. Sent to my room without dinner.

Love me some SPAM!
We just had SPAM au poivre for dinner the other night. Basically, you slice it into 4 pieces, coat both sides of the slices in cracked black pepper and grill over high heat until you have nice crust.
My only issue is that it's salty. We buy the lower sodium SPAM and it's still a little salty.

SPAM is the best. I love them all. My favorite being Tocino and Portuguese sausage. I think you can only get those over seas or at the SPAM museum in Austin, MN. Every time I am in Austin for work, I stop at the museum and get a flat of SPAM. It has 12 cans in a variety pack, and you get all the exotic flavors too!
I wrote an article a while back on my love of SPAM and much of its history. If you are ever in Austin, MN for some really random reason, DO NOT miss the SPAM museum. It is much more than you think it is.
