    Ahem. Pan-fried thin pieces of SPAM on two pieces of lightly toasted wheat bread are actually quite yummy. Same for the “Underwood Deviled Ham” spread in the tiny cans measuring about the size of three fingernails across (cold not fried, and actually better on wheat crackers). Not able to survive on them year-round, but they were actually pretty good!

    Hormel should do some limited time “New Spam International Flavors..”

    Like,,,oh… Nigerian Bank letter, Russian Bride, Canadian Viagra… all of them artificial, of course.

    I would never have tried Spam, but learned to make Spam Musabi while vacationing in Hawaii. Not bad at all.

    My dad loved Spam. When he was a kid during WWII that’s all the meat they could get. It was a rare treat. I can’t stand it, though my mom made a decent Spam fried rice.

    I finally acquired a taste for Spam when visiting Hawaii, where it is very popular. The Hawaiian Pizza, topped with pineapple slices and Spam, sounded horrible until I tried it. Not for everyday, but it’s a tasty slice.

    I am concerned with where the mower’s pull string as attached – if not careful, hew could wind up mowing his personal “lawn”
