The important thing about Spam is that it is incredibly, incredibly salty so if you actually work your rear end off, it tastes amazing. Like poutine.

oldpainless posted:Two pieces of spam is fine. Anymore than that and it becomes unbearable I feel the same way about anchovi pizza although I'd limit that to one slice. Just extremely salty flavor that just starts to overwhelm your senses but can be alright in smaller quantities Spam is really good with eggs as a hangover food

Spam is gross. I'd threaten to fight you over this but the salt and cholesterol crawling through your arteries would turn it from a beat down into a straight up murder.

Unfortunately Spam was responsible for saving a lot of starving people after WW2 so it has tons of nostalgia and is embedded in many cultures so it will never go away. People might as well just eat salt licks.

Spam has been the go-to pop culture punchline for "crappy processed food" for as long as I've been alive, but at this point I'll bet it doesn't even rank as one of the unhealthiest things you can eat.

Also real Spam is actually relatively high quality and uses decent meat. A lot of its bad reputation comes from cheap clones during and around WW2 that used stuff like pig cheeks to pad it out.

Agreed, I think the main reason it gets so much poo poo is the way it's a 'loaf', obviously compressed trimmings pressed into a can-shaped object. I doubt it's a whole lot worse than bacon or most sausage, and it -has- to be healthier than chorizo, which I love but is the most unbelievably greasy thing I've ever cooked.

I've never knowingly tried spam and I saw the other day that the import section at a nearby supermarket has a shelf with like ten different varieties of it now. My only familiarity with it is that people joke about how lovely it is but I'm still tempted to go get the stuff that has jalapenos in it, I bet it'd kick rear end with some emmental and baked beans on wholemeal toast

Just buy any canned luncheon meat, Spam is going to be the same thing, just probably slightly better.

Spam Lite is a pretty decent quick meal with hot sauce. Chop it up, fry it with whatever you want to throw in the pan (or just the Spam by itself), and douse it in something like Tabasco. Not as insanely fattening as a whole can of regular Spam and there's no obscene saltiness.

It is the saltiest ham imaginable. Like ham-flavored chewy salt. When mixed with a lot of other bland ingredients, such as scrambled eggs, rice, or applesauce it is ok in small amounts.

Suddenly thinking it's the American version of Vegemite in being a ridiculously salty food that's an acquired taste and stupidly popular in some areas, and best when properly prepared.

It's a brand of a kind of processed meat product that is extremely common in all regions of the globe. Vegemite / Marmite are disgusting, absurd concoctions invented by a demented mind.

Trig Discipline posted:Spam is a huge thing on a bunch of pacific islands, it's a weird holdover from WWII. I'll totally eat the heck out of a spam musubi, but they're just not common here. Which is weird, because spam itself is quite popular. This stuff is extremely popular on Pacific islands more closely associated with Australia/New Zealand  I used to work at a food wholesaler and we'd sell pallets of the disgusting stuff - if you read the side of the can the nutrition information didn't look too bad but it was based off an unrealistically tiny serving size

My girlfriends sibling once tried to tell me instant ramen was horrible for me (and it is) while stuffing a quesarito down her face. Turns out it's like 2 1/2 packs of ramen to equal one quesarito in everything but sodium

Corned beef is all over Okinawa, but I don't recall ever seeing it in Guam or Hawaii. I'd wondered why that was the case. I actually eat it for breakfast sometimes, served over some grilled onigiri with hot sauce.

I was at a restaurant where they had an "unusual meats" appetiser plate and one of the things on it was rolled pork cheek fried in marrow. It was salty buttery orgasm fuel.

I normally love the poo poo out of salty foods, sometimes fry up country ham unblanched, but spam is just beyond the pale with how salty it tastes. The only way I usually eat it is to make Spam fried rice, a preparation which the saltiness isn't too overwhelming. But the other day my wife was out of town and I decided I really needed a Spam, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich and oh baby that was unbelievably salty.

The only way I can deal with it's saltiness is to dice it into small cubes, pan fry it without additional oil and mix it with eggs, potatoes, etc - foods that are usually salted. It's nice to have a can around when I'm out of fresh/frozen meat and am craving protein, but Jesus, I can't imagine eating it regularly.
