Spam How many way can you fix on a Thur-Hike

[Highway Man]

I usually put SPAM into two slices of bread. But once I had a big can of it and couldn't finish, I had to give the rest to Cookie Lady's dog, Rufus, when I camped there.

Just be sure to drink the juice. You know you want to.

You can pan fry it, deep fry it, stir-fry it. There's pineapple spam, lemon spam, coconut spam, pepper spam, spam soup, spam stew, spam salad, spam and potatoes, spam burger, spam sandwich, spam and crackers...and that's just a few ways you can eat it...

...and as was said during WWII, "...and every way you cook it, it still tastes like Spam."

I ate spam with Velveeta Shells and Cheese. Cut it into little cubes and mixed it in. It was delicious.

Other than that, it's a lot better cooked and eaten with bread or crackers in my opinion.

Spam on bread, spam on toast, spam is the thing that I hate most.

(Okay, if I was super hungry, I'd eat spam. SUPER hungry.)

That is a cruel thing to do to a dog.

Spam for breakfast, spam for lunch, spam is a thing that I won't munch.
Spam for dinner, spam for tea, no more spam, do you agree?

Sorry my rhymes are do bad, now I have nothing to add)

Spam single Swiss Cheese cus it keeps and squeeze tube of Hellman's and a dash of Grey Pupon on Wheat. ---yum.

I love spam on the trail. I really love the taste. I slightly char the outside so it is nice and crispy and the interior is melt-in-your-mouth delicious.

Ill take one of those single packets of spam and stick a stick through it and use rocks around the campfire to anchor it over the fire. I then slap a piece of tortilla or pita bread on another rock near the fire. I sprinkle ms dash all over the spam and then wrap it all up once everything is cooked to preference. It really is very good, undoubtedly one of my favourite trail foods. It can also be prepared very similarly using a pot/pan and campstove but I find the clean up makes it not worth it.

I in no way think spam is a joke.

Spam is weak. Potted meat or Vienna sausages on saltines are real food

Just read the "nutritional" info on a Spam can....it's garbage that does nothing but put you on a course with the cardiac wing at your local hospital. As for ingredients, here's another WWII saying about Spam (or "Roosevelt sausage" as the Russians called it): "Spam is ham that didn't pass it's physical."

* Residents of Hawai'i eat an average of four cans of SPAM per person per year, more than in any other place on Earth (Elsewhere in the Universe, who knows?).
* By 1959, a billion cans of SPAM had been sold. The two billion mark was hit in 1970, followed by three billion in 1980, four billion in 1986, and five billion in 1993. That's a lot of SPAM!
* In Korea, SPAM is sold in stylish presentation gift boxes of nine cans each. SPAM stolen from army PXs can be found on the Korean black market. And there are Korean imitations called Lo-Spam, Dak, Plumrose, and Tulip, to ensure that no one need go without.

Isn't that amazing? But it's all true!

Now don't take it personal...but you guys really lack imagination.

The Alaska State Fair hosts a SPAM cookoff contest ("The Great American Spam Championship"). Now those are some real recipes! Do a Google/Bing search and you'll find stories and recipes coming out of the state that knows how to do SPAM right...here's a sample, http://www.adn.com/news/alaska/state...ry/927310.html

My favorite from past years...SPAM chunks in lime jello.

To be fair (), Alaska's not the only such contest...other twisted states do the same.

Ok - have you suffered one too many hits to the head? eweeeee......

This is like the bacon thread all over again.

I'm taking a small can of vienna sausages on my thru to fry and mix with rice, just to add flavor and calories. I don't remember what they taste like though, so maybe I'll try 'em before I pack 'em....

"Ode to Vienna Sausages"

O, glorious bit of nourishment,
Thy taste is truly heaven sent.
Such pleasure thou expounds to me,
My precious tube of ecstasy!

Though many morsels touch my tongue,
Thine anthem ne'er shall be out sung.
Sweet Machiavellian delight
Pervades my throat with every bite.

There is no greater pleasure than
Eight sausages packed in a can.
The grandeur of thy sweet bouquet
Is faint to take one's breath away.

Thy juice and stunning succulence
Is said to conjure flatulence
And rumblings from the diaphragm
Unmatched, of course, except by Spam.

But, from this land where Mozart played
And Ludwig Van concertos made,
This land from where great music came
Is it not right you make the same?

Though other wieners may aspire
To be as plump as Oscar Meyer
Thy svelte, petite, and sleek design
Slide freely through these lips of mine.

At weddings, thou art ever picked,
With Swedish meatballs on a stick
To be the morsels of delight
On that most joyous of all nights.

My dearest treat, I bid thee well.
I love thee more than words can tell.
I take my leave....I must compose
My "Sonnet to the Oreo".

Spam + tortilla + cheese + anything
