For breakfast this AM, I had a scrambled egg burrito with jalapenos, green onions, mushrooms, SPAM chunks, Mexican cheese and to moisten the eggs, I mixed a "bit" of Bailey's Irish Cream in. It was a C.O.
Let them eat SPAM!

Camping food has no calories. It’s a known fact!

Dad said something like that but you had to eat standing up? think that was becasue we only had one camp chair at the time and he was always in it next to the odd green Coleman Cooler with the metal clamp that seemed to hold ice for four or five days back in the '70s.

I remember growing up my Mom would cut it into cube and put it in vegetable soup, Still do this to this day on occasion, definitely a multi use food

Always good to cut chunks of SPAM, fry ‘em a bit and put them in Ramen….mmmm
Being a Navy Brat and living all over, Spam was the thing that you dress up to feed a family of five on the cheap and to make it last till the next payday...I am sure my mom could make a single can strech for the whole family and that went with canned tuna and Chicken or what ever we could get...

This showed up in my facebook feed yesterday. I don't know if it has been posted on this thread or not. If it hasn't, enjoy.

I did the engineering for the building that went on the old Crystal site.
You guys made me want to try it. I live on continental Europe , so Spam is not so easy to find, never seen it in the supermarkets. So I go on Amazon and it is 9.50 euro for a can, almost 12 US $/ can . I can get some nice shrimp for this kind of money :)
Anyway, one of the reviews was really great and I quote :

Great gift!

Give us your mailing address (or PM me with your mailing address) and I'll see if I can't mail you a small assortment of cans of Spam.

Ok... so I just mailed leeloo 10 cans of spam, and a spam slicer. He lives in Luxembourg. The picture only shows 9 cans, but the box I used would hold 10, so I tossed in another one (either a low sodium or lite one... I forget).
In case you're wondering, to mail the package it cost $87 from WA to Luxembourg by USPS (which was way cheaper than UPS). He gave me his address, and I showed him how I would put his address on the label, and he said it was correct. So it should get there in about two weeks.
leeloo... here's what I want you to do. Let's have fun with this.
1. Send us a picture of the contents when you get them.
2. Over the course of the next few weeks or months (don't do it all at once), every time you try a new can, I want you to tell us/show us how you prepared it, and how you liked it. You won't hurt our feelings if you don't care for a certain flavor - some of those wouldn't be my first choice either. Be honest.
3. Start out with the regular can of spam, and use that as a baseline for comparing to the rest of them.
Enjoy!

i had been getting the terriyaki flavored SPAM up until a year or so ago. its also really good if you can find it
on trips i'd fry some up and add it to instant rice with some canned crushed pineapple and that was pretty tasty
i wonder if flavors are regional, or if SPAM has just quit making certain flavors..i've seen the portuguese sausage one a long time ago, but not around here
