Even before pull-tabs, Spam provided an attached key, I guess they didn’t want to give anybody an excuse not to eat their wonderful product. The P-38 was left at home. Believe me, it was the first thing I thought of. I miss the SPAM key. That was WAY more fun... Link to post Share on other sites

Pilgrim65 944 Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 (edited) Was quite surprised to see this tread on this forum , So I thought I would share my recollections of Spam with you guys. I’m not sure of the origins of spam , British or American , pork luncheon meat ,obviously dates back to pre WW2 and wonder if soldiers found it was the ease to store and cook in a frying pan that made it popular , my dad was a soldier 8th army turbrok , el alemain etc , he certainly liked it and used to cook me spam fritters or chop it up and put in curry. It’s popularity declined in the 60s not helped because I think at least in Britain it was considered working class food , I was never offered spam sandwiches by our well off relatives, proper meat or cheese and salmon by top knobs . Give me plain egg or cheese anytime or even spam I remember i liked it cold with baked beans on . Must have been my dads thing cause after he passed very young , don’t remember my mum ever serving it .

NTX5467 1,200 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 I was in Dollar General earlier today. Found some "SPAM SINGLES". Heck, $1.00 a pack, so I got two. Got home, got two pieces of wheat bread, applied Hellman's and a bit of mustard. Opened the foil package and the SPAM slid out in all of its cold, congealed fat coating. Didn't have to touch it, just slide it out of the package onto the bread. Good thing I only bought two packs! Perhaps I should have put it in a skillet to heat up first?

NTX5467 1,200 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 I might also note that this "modern" (1950s) food item has some interesting attributes. Similar to bologna, minimal "carbs", minimal "sugar", minimal "calories", be sure to look at "sodium", and some "fat". Rather have some "Light" beef bologna instead!

SpecialEducation 861 Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Apparently, opening a can of fake SPAM with a key is now a life hack... 🤔 I’d say to fast forward to 1:28, but at least watch the clip at 1:09 and tell me that isn’t a brain on a head of lettuce. 🤢 Link to post Share on other sites
RivNut 4,066 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Hormel made their first batch of Spam in 1937. The company has just announced that due to hoarding by consumers, they are going to make a second batch. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
MrEarl 10,036 Posted April 9, 2020 Author Share Posted April 9, 2020 If 10 cans in the pantry is hoarding, I’m guilty. Great news nonetheless, did they say when it might be available in the grocery stores 🤣 Link to post Share on other sites
