Spam Singles

[Double Wide]

Last night I was at the local WallyWorld picking up a few groceries and I saw that Spam Singles were only a buck. I picked one up to read the label, as I haven't eaten spam in, literally, decades. But I noticed that the expiration date was August of 2015. Since I'm hitting the trail in 2014, yeah, I picked up a few of them for the food box I've got going in my closet. Went with the Spam Lite singles though...

Anybody use these things? I mean, all I can think of is cut up in instant potatoes or Knorr noodles. Doubt I'll make a sammie out of 'em anytime soon, though.

Yep, I use them sparingly. They get nasty pretty quick. I cut 'em up and put them on a tortilla with mayo and crunched up fritos.

i put spam in grits too
you can dehydrate it also. (a little greasy, but great)
eggs and spam
baked beans and spam
Or Lobster Thermidor aux crevettes with a mornay sauce
served in a provencale manner with shallots and aubergines
garnished with truffle pate, brandy and a fried egg on top and spam.

Yep, ate 'em during my thru last year. They're hard to come by up north.

I was gonna ask here about Spam singles. Seems as if they have dissappeared from the WalMart and Publix stores around St Pete. Was wondering of they are still out there.

Yep...I take a couple Spam Lite on every trip to add to dehydrated eggs and grits for my breakfasts. Maddog

I have never and still don't eat SPAM off-trail, started using them in my no-cook plan 2 years ago. AWESOME

Light, easy, simple, extra tasty with mustard packets requesitioned from fast food places or rest stops on the highway. Pita bread, maybe some cheese = dinner.

[Grampie]

You can't beat them for hiking food. Great tast, pack easy and stay fresh for ever. Great on a bagle for lunch.

They've dissapeared from Tallahassee, too. Too darned bad; I always acquaite Spam with camping (usually with fried eggs) 'cause when I was growing up, my parents would take me camping, and always at least one meal would be Spam.

MMMmmmmmm!! Fried (blackened actually) in a sandwich with mustard and a little mayo, or chopped up in some mac and cheese.

A near-perfect backpacking food. I hope I can find them often on my thru

Spam singles are a great backpacking food - I alternate with the tuna packs to get some variety. I eat them regularly on the trail, occasionally at home too. Good stuff.
