It's not even cheap anymore. We're talking $4.25 a can or more.

>tastes like raw tuna
you're crazy.

I don't know what thread died for this one but it I already miss it.

I really want to make that serving suggestion and see if it's any good

>>20369260
>It tastes like raw tuna
so you're just making shit up then

>>20369260
Agreed it's a nasty blob of mystery meat.

I told my mom to stop eating that shit already or else I'm not going to her funeral.

>>20369260
>It tastes like raw tuna
JFC go to a doctor immediately

>>20369260
Y-you realize you have to fry it, right?

>>20369260
It tastes like salt and fat and salt

>>20369260
I don't know what you're talking about. It doesn't seem popular at all. It was one of the few products that was always available when there was a run on toilet paper and canned foods.

>>20369260
Used to be good food for poor people and then foodie fags ruined it.

>>20369786
Who's being "foodie" about fucking spam?

Did you not cook your spam?

>>20369935
Isn't ham supposed to be eaten raw since it's preserved?

>i don't understand why people like this thing that tastes like one of the most popular types of fish on the planet
What a strange thing to say. Especially when Spam doesn't taste anything like raw tuna.

>>20369790
Spoken like a true foodie

>Spam tastes like raw tuna
Anon, I think it's time to see a doctor...

Shitty nutritionally deprived poverty food trash no one should be eating.

That aside, fry it up in a pan, spice it up and it tastes great. Not that it's hard it's fucking 90% fat..

>>20369790
It's seen as a cool ethnic delicacy thanks to Hawaiians and Samoans who discovered it via WW2 rations

Any recommendations on cheaper off brands? Shills welcome by the way.

>>20370310
Wal Mart sells Great Value "Luncheon Meat" for like $2. It's the same thing.

>>20370322
thanks fren I will try this the next time I'm out of town and can visit a safe Wal Mart

>>20370310
I am at Aldi, here is their off brand

>>20370322
I’ve never been to a luncheon and heard anyone say “where the fuck is the spam?”

>>20370258
Umm... No?

Save the planet! Eat vegan spam instead.

>>20370411
Lmao $9

>>20370411
>vegan spam
just git gud at cooking tofu

>>20370411
>12.47 a pound
That's higher than the federal min wage

>>20369260
Always wanted to try the burger from the SP tin..

>>20369260
You need to pair it with a crisp white wine.

>>20369289
You can get it for exactly a dollar less a can at Costco when they are on sale. It's good. The guy who said it tastes like tuna has his wires crossed or something.

>>20369260

I think every country has its own version.

Picture is the danish version.

>>20370531
You can get this here too I think.

>>20369691
No you don't. That just dries it out and it becomes less juicy. It's already cooked. No need to double cook and dirty a pan.

>>20370531
I love that stuff but it costs more than actually fresh pork.
Good for camping and such.

>>20369260
How does this fare compare to canned chicken? It is right next to it in the supermarket but I've never tried it (the chicken). I assume it'd be like tuna in a can but chicken but I'm too scared to try it

>>20370585
Literally scared of food

Jesus Christ I hate zoomers so much sometimes.

>>20370585
i got some canned chicken recently to eat on a long train ride and it was fine. just soft, mildly seasoned bite-size chicken chunks, good for making a quick sandwich or salad. nothing particularly weird nor particularly great about it

>>20370585
If you get the canned chicken, go for the "low sodium" version. Not for health reasons but it just tastes better.

>>20370585
It's kind of gross imo (think canned tuna fish but with chicken), especially the smell, but I'll eat it if I'm hungry enough

>>20370604
>Not for health reasons but it just tastes better.
based I do the same thing with spam

It used to be a good cheap meat to buy but its expensive as fuck nowadays for some reason. Rather just buy some piece of ham for less.

>>20371188
Still is on sale. Not like actually buying a spiral sliced ham around holiday season, but it's a bit more unique and doesn't ruin the pan like ham.

>>20371188
Just bought some from the Chinese grocer for 2$ a can

>>20372474
Here in Sweden a can of SPAM is like 5 or 6 eur and a bigger chunk of good smoked ham is a bit less.

I like Spam but you should never eat a full tin in a single day. Way too much fat and sodium. Either save half for another day or just get the half-sized tins.

Treet is fucking vile.

If you slice it a quarter inch thick you can get three or four sandwiches out of it

Spam with bacon is the superior choice

>>20372802
I slice it thin and then bake it in my air fryer, gets nice and browned

>>20370322
>>20370371
I don't know about these but here the off-brand cheap version (pic related) isn't the same thing. They use chicken and other shit as filler. Yes, chicken isn't poison or anything but it's not going to taste the same as pork

>>20372916
>No Name

>>20372928
Yes and?

>>20369260
>It tastes like raw tuna
Actually, I think spam tastes like raw beef or raw turkey
It doesn't taste anything at all like pork

>>20372785
Sodium maybe, but fat? Cmon dude it's 2024.

>>20370322
Is there a sadder food product in the universe than Walmart-brand Spam?

>>20373092
>autism

Food is not sad or happy you dumb fuck.

>>20372928
No Name is basically the Canadian equivalent to store brands like Kroger, Great Value, etc. All those generic products come from the same factories, they just slap a different label on it. In Canada they just use the same label regardless which store it goes to.

>>20373092
I have more respect for the generic grocery store products that do their best to compete with an OG like Spam than I do for established recognizable brands that attempt to compete, but put out an abomination of a product. What the fuck kind of name is "Treet" anyways? It's not nearly as iconic as "Spam," and nobodies eating a canned loaf of mechanically separated meat as a "treat."

>>20370527
>>20369289
I bought a couple cans for 3 bucks each earlier today
>>20370322
I've never had the walmart kind but the kind they sell at safeway/albertsons is fucking terrible

>>20370585
>but I'm too scared to try it
You do know you don't have to finish it if you don't like it? Just don't continue eating it if you don't want to!

>>20369260
It tastes like extremely salty meat to me. Although; I only keep it as emergency when I'm incredibly drunk. I open a can, then I eat it cold with a spoon.

>>20369260
Because it's versatile. You can use it for all sorts of things.

>>20376041
>just waste FOOD
unironically kill yourself, i hope you starve to death, fucking die!

>>20370579
i think thats what is invented for, when u dont have fresh meat

>>20376154
>i hope you starve to death
lol it's the opposite, I have so much food around me I can just eat and drink whatever I feel like whenever I feel like! Being middle class in europe is the same as being the highest aristocracy in rome or the middle ages! So many people throughout history have killed, pillaged and died trying to achieve the wealth necessary to attain the lifestyle I maintain with barely any effort or sacrifice, and I love it!
Just for you I might buy a few cans of chicken and tuna and just put them in my pantry and never touch them, they'll just sit there as a monument to me!
