It is presented in fancy wooden boxes lined with velvet with spaces cut out for the cans in Japan... Already a fancy delicacy.
Let them eat SPAM!

Hormel made their first batch of "Spam" back in 1937. With everyone out shopping and hoarding food they have announced they will be making their second batch later this week...

So, in order to do my part to stay home as much as possible, I'm going to the grocery store every 2-3 weeks instead of the usual once a week. At the end of the 2-3 weeks I'm getting low on groceries, so I have to start improvising, which led me to tonight's dinner...
I call it "Spambalaya"

We had chicken Mamou for dinner. Haven't yet adapted the recipe to Spam!

It was a success! I really like the Hot & Spicy SPAM because it's actually hot & spicy.
I was a little concerned about following the directions on the box of Jambalaya mix which calls for putting the meat (usually cooked/cured sausage or cooked chicken) in at the beginning of the cooking of the rice. I was worried the browned spam pieces might get mushy, so I removed them from the pan and mixed them back in at the end. Also, I did not add the TBS of oil called for in the cooking directions, choosing instead to use the oil created from browning the spam pieces, which ended up being about the same amount. I think it also added additional flavor. Along with a loaf of crusty bread and a bottle of Chardonnay, it was the perfect quick & easy meal for two. It's definitely going on my list of camping meals...

I like the Jalapeno as well. We did a version of "street tacos" using the Jalapeno and they were pretty good. I think I'll stay away from the Chorizo...

I'm a long distance hiker. Typical hikes are 100 to 150 miles long. Protein and fat becomes a requirement in one's diet to keep the body from breaking down. Electrolytes are needed to keep from cramping, so the high salt content is a blessing. Tuna just wasn't cutting it for me anymore. Spam singles are perfect! My GF won't eat them, but she will buy them for me at Wal-mart. She hates the smell. Says its "vile". I have no idea what she's talking about.
Covid-19 is really putting a dent in my hiking food pantry, but I guess hikers are survivalists at heart, because we really didn't have to hoard anything to stay in the house for weeks on end. Still have plenty of dehydrated veggies dried meats....but no Spam

Exactly! My dad used to love "spam and pickle" sammichs. He would use an old crank meat grinder and grind together SPAM and gerkin pickles, then mix with a little mayo to make a sandwich spread. I haven't had it in ages, might just have to make me some!
