just save the lid and slice your wrists so you don't have to eat spam

Depends on what you're putting it on, for sandwiches you definitely want the bigger slices, but for eating with rice/not in a bun i prefer the thinner cuts

Only cucks will disagree.

what is spam? mystery meat like cat food?

Depends what you want to do with it. You can slice it vertically for about 6 slices if you want little steaks, or dice it into cubes, some slice horizontally for larger steaks,

Just slice it with a knife full enough to send it straight to fucking orbit so you keep the aliens away cause even they stay far away from that shit

Eat it out of the can with a spoon and stop pretending you're too fancy.

you're just supposed to grab that hunk with your hand and bite chunks out of it

The more you know: spam is considered one of the national food of the philippines, involved in a lot of their recipes.

>>11397882
Mechanically separated pork.

Holiday is the real mystery meat, and the only mystery is exactly which ratio of pork, chicken, and beef it is. (hint: it's mostly chicken.)

>>11397922
Spam is popular everywhere the US had a military base in the Pacific.
In Worst Korea it is even considered a luxury item often sold in fancy gift sets.

What does spam taste like?

>>11397954
spam

>>11397954
Meat product and salt

>>11397935
Spam isn't MSM unless you're buying the shitty flavored varieties you mouth breather

>>11397975
He.He.

>>11397893

>>11397935
that looks rank, do all Americans eat this stuff? it's not common in bongland (not to say our cuisine is great either)

>>11398076
you were the ones who invented it as a way to package high caloric food and ship it to far corners of your empire during the industrial revolution

Specially Processed Army Meat.

>>11398076

I ate even worse shit in the army when I was drafted. Our term for it was "lizard meat". We had a little betting pool who gets the oldest one and our corporal won by finding a can older than himself. A fucking retarded gypsy ate his by mixing it with cream cheese and cocoa.

t. hungarian.

>>11397922
I think that SPAM is the state food of Hawaii, back from WW II days.

>>11398170
I feel like you are exaggerating a little bit. No one would cut hyperbolic slices

>>11398099
lol more like SPAMtic xDDD

It doesn't look anymore "rank" than liverwurst. And don't try to pretend like bongoloids don't eat liverwurst.

>>11398076
>it's not common in bongland

yes it is. leave your house once in a while.

Spam is delicious. Fuck the haters.

>>11398076
I've never tried or even noticed this luncheon meat stuff in a US grocery store.

Spam, of course, is a different story.

>>11398076

absolute unit

>>11397889
always slice in the direction normal to x, it's how it comes out of the can

SPAM= Shoulder Pork and Ham

>>11397882
It's overpriced overly processed """meat""".

Spam is so good

>>11397840
> spam

>>11397882
It says right there on the label it's ham, pork, salt, water, and other additives to make it bind.

>>11397954
Salted ham

>>11398791
Why do you list ham and pork like they're two separate things

>>11398778

Agreed.

Also, it's just a forcemeat. I don't understand why people find it so mysterious and weird.

Spam musubi is heavenly.

>>11397840
X-Axis

>>11398801
In spam they use mechanically separated pork but they use ham as filler

>>11398881
Ham is a particular cut of pork. It's the same animal.

Don't judge spam until you cut it thin and cook it and eat it like bacon
It is fucking sick raw
>>11398923
>>11398801
You guys are fucking stupid

>>11398801
Because that's how ingredient labelling regulations work.

>>11397882
it's all pork shoulder. spam uses relatively high quality pork for what it is.

>>11397912
spam doesn't stand for that, the company has disavowed it

>>11398076
the postman delivers fresh spam every day along with our fresh processed american cheese food, 3-liters of soda for the day, and our fresh gun. we trade in our gun from yesterday but they don't really keep track so sometimes you can just pile up guns

Back in the real world, Spam is OK for an occasional thing. Nothing will ever repeat that taste.

Also, who gives a fuck which way you slice it.

>>11398782
Never seen this in stores, is it better than Spam?

>>11398052
>>11397889

I always slice along one of the Z planes, I'll try XY next time to mix it up

>>11399130
Treet sucks ass. Its like spams retarded cousin. Doesnt even crisp up right

Scrapple and goetta took Spam out behind the Rite Aid, raped it, and dumped it in a ditch.

>>11398989

>not just punching a hole in it and throwing it in the fire
>not drying it, grinding it into dust than cooking a spam soup in your canteen with the cream cheese you have been issued, some green onions stolen from a garden and some wild rosemary
>not rolling thin strips of it around a stick and roasting it crunchy

Fucking amateurs.

>>11399150
>>11399130
Spam and Treet from pre-1995 was good, the stuff in the stores now fucking sucks shit through a straw.

Didn't have any of that. Was a BP trip, not the Marines.

>>11399257
I would have said Hawaii but yeah that works too.

>>11398923
It'd want to, a can of spam is like twice the price of a 4 pack of pork chops.

>>11399565
Good luck carrying four pork chops on a hiking trip.

>>11400015
Pork chops cost less than 2 dollars/lb in America
A can of spam costs 2 dollars for 7 oz

Left

Slice it any way you want man, Spam just wants to please it isn't going to judge you.

I was wondering what to have for breakfast the other day and cut the leftover spam into two thick slices and fried them along with an egg and put between a sliced pita with ketchup and it was good. Now I need to go buy more.

>>11397882
Ww2 rations that boomers and SEA monkeys consider a delicacy

Who the fuck is eating spam in 2018?
I'll fucking give you money.

either, cut slices for mutsubi or frying or burgers for grilling.

>>11398055
Am I on Facebook?

>>11400088
it's tasty and nostalgic. like craft singles or swiss miss cocoa.

>>11398989
Any warm meat tastes like heaven's nectar when you're backpacking

>>11398076
>it's not common in bongland

Bullshit, lad. Spam is a cultural icon in the UK. It's what people lived on during WW2. It became ubiquitous enough for Monty Python to base one of their most famous sketches off of it.

https://youtu.be/anwy2MPT5RE

>>11397840
Shove the knife in the top while its open, still in the can and go to town

>>11399577
Yea, honestly that's the only situation I'd probably buy some.

>>11399668
Where I live
>1 pound of pork chops (usually 3-4 chops) ~$3
>1 can of SPAM ~$6-7

>>11397893
Its unironically more expensive then alot of deli meat

>>11399668
uncooked spam is rank though

>>11400393
the hell you pay 6 dollars for spam

I use it to make breakfast sandwiches. can't think of another application where bacon or sausage wouldn't work better
nowadays it's a niche product though so it's overpriced

>>11400393

>$7 for Cram

Fucking where?

>OMG SO GOOD PURE EUROPA CULTURE :^)
>Americans do the same thing except in a can because its the modern means of preserving food
>OMG AMERICANS EAT DISSS!!?!???!??!
Europoors are so far up their own asses that they don't realize how far gone they really are.

>>11400699
not just europoors.
american hipster fags will eat out of 3rd world dumpsters and turn their noses up at fast food.
it's best just to point and laugh.

>>11398076
>Spam isn't common in the UK

Stop LARPing you useless cunt.

>>11400756
This. Its in every shop, we just don't eat it as often as we should.

>>11400112
maybe with boomers anon, nobody under 50 eats that stuff

>>11400818
I eat it faggot.

>>11400818
Lol fag its good

>>11400088
Hawaiians.

>>11400088
Me now pay up

>>11398188
underrated

>>11397840
I take slices off as it comes out of the can, so I can slide back in what I don't need.

>>11397954
like a cross between bacon and hotdogs

>>11400088
i eat it occasionally for breakfast. i fry it up with eggs and toast.

I've never understood the culinary appeal of spam.

What do people even do with it?
I had it once on a sandwich... Could have been worse I suppose?
Had it in soup in Asia, generally an unwelcome edition

I look at it all the time but I'm just staggered how much salt it has.

I guess it's only for poor people... But it really isn't that cheap, considering how much filler your probably getting

In Russia they have a good one though, it's a combination of beef fat, aspic jelly from beef /pork, and processed meat.
It's good because it provides both cooking fat and thickener for a soup

>>11401284
i have it for breakfast sometimes with eggs and rice or toast and i enjoy it, its cheaper than bacon

>>11401294
With eggs and rice sounds OK, like fried rice with bacon pieces

As a bacon substitute huh, might work in Boston chilli beans

Could you turn it into a paste and like... Mix it with potatoes, boiled eggs and cumin? Like a potato salad?

>>11401324
>Could you turn it into a paste and like... Mix it
That's what corned beef hash is for
Or those weird little cans of potted meat

>>11401324
ive never tried, sounds pretty good with potatoes in general though

>not cutting logarithmically so you get infinite meat as you approach 0
no wonder you guys are poor

>>11400088
I do. Their bacon one is pretty good in the morning with some eggs.

>>11401338
These processed meats are alien to me
We only have plastic sausages you only eat in buns with mustard at football games, chicken loaf- actually super usable, and the Russian cow tin

>>11401545
>These processed meats are alien to me
If you're Russian, they're less alien than you think.
