  • What is in Spam? It is one of life’s greatest mysteries - a true puzzlement that has plagued any person with a pantry since it was introduced in 1937. This canned block of luncheon meat rose to prominence during the Great Depression and has been a cupboard staple ever since. A meat of questionable origin that takes on the shape of its container should not have been a hit, and yet here we are. There are even some hipster recipes that are devoted to turning Spam into haute cuisine. But, what is in it? In this video, we’ll reveal how Spam is really made.

    I honestly thought Spam wasn't real as a kid, I saw it in a reality TV show once and thought it was
    a made up brand for the show that played into the trope of "Canned food that's supposed to bring you
    happiness is filled with a mystery meat that has a very dark secert to it" but then I saw it on the shelves
    and was absolutely shocked.

    I used to think SPAM translated as literally 'Spare Parts and Meat', so I thought it was like tongue and brain and offal my whole childhood, and I grew up in Honolulu where it's literally everywhere even the McDonalds here sells it. Knowing that it's basically just pork shoulder actually makes it way more appetizing again, and I'm comfortable eating it for the first time in decades.

    It makes a lot of sense that Spam has a factory over in S. Korea. Koreans absolutely LOVE IT!! They give it away as gifts - like as part of a gift basket that includes other things like fruit, candy etc. Korean "sushi" is called "Kimbap" and yes it's absolutely mixed in along with a number of other things (pickled radish, carrot strips, strips of fried egg and that fake crab stuff). It's delicious and it only cost about 2 or 3 bucks (in Canadian currency that is) when I lived there from 2002-2005.

    pepper to taste (I've never tried the Pepper Spam, I probably should)
    Add 3 cups water and bring to boil. Turn heat down to gentle boil for 5 minutes
    Add grits slowly while stirring
    Simmer until done. enjoy.
    (or use 1/4 can and less water and grits to serve 1)

    Practically grew up on SPAM.
    When we'd go up to the rez, both sets of grandparents would make a super hearty meal of just SPAM, Eggs, Onions, Potatoes, and flour tortillas.
    Even on the coldest days with the wind cutting through our coats, that simple meal, paired with black "cowboy coffee" out of the enamel pot, kept us warm and full.

      You gotta eat it with eggs cooked over easy. Cook the on medium low heat so they stay soft. Slice the spam into about 1/8 in thick rectangular slices and fry in olive oil on medium heat until desired crispness is reached. Cook some white rice and have one egg per scoop of rice. Make sure the yolk is runny. Place the egg on top of the scoop of rice so when you eat it the yolk mixes with the rice. Eat with the spam slices. You can actually get this at McDonald's in Hawaii.
