What is your take on this canned meat?

They love it in the UK. The G.Is introduced them to it during the war.
I can deal with the low sodium version.

My mom would bake it with cloves stuck in it along with brown sugar on it and also sliced and fried with eggs for breakfast. I don’t think I’ve ever had it since leaving home in 1964 when I got married.

That happens. Lost my taste for lamb chops because my wife never made them. Now I can’t stand the smell which I used to love

A breakfast staple at the Bell house. Fried Spam and scrambled eggs 🥚
Our grandkids love it also, but Grandma still has to make her famous chocolate pancakes served with chocolate syrup.

Those pancakes sound delicious!! I love chocolate but never tried those pancakes. I do have on most nights nestles chocolate lovers ice cream cones. And at lunch time I eat one of Albertsons market homemade chocolate chip cookie. No chocolate for breakfast. Larry W. In socal.

I grew up putting peanut butter on pancakes with Mrs Butterworth’s on special occasions and Log Cabin normally. My grandkids like it also.

If you don’t read the label it is much better.. Sliced &fried it makes a great substitute for bacon, sausage, or ham with grits and eggs. Long ago and far away after a month or so of C-Rats it was as good as Prime Rib.

Fried crispy on the outside with home grown maters on toast with mustard . Sandwich fit for a Hillbilly !!!

All of my fellow stagers, please take a look at what "health line" has to say about spam. So much of what taste good is not good for us. Occasionally, it probably won't hurt you, but a steady diet will.
