/ck/ - Food & Cooking

I buy Roast Beef Hash instead. Meat and potatoes together. Brown it on the stovetop and it's great.

Spam is probably good browned too. Tried it without stovetop preparation and got tired of it after the first few times.

Hawayans love them shits. They even make sushi with it.

Spam Musubi are pretty much the only way I'll eat spam.

I fry it and eat it on a sandwich. The shit's pretty good, even if it's not very healthy. I usually can't eat a whole lot of it before getting sick of it but I'm still not sure why everyone hates it so much.

It's decent when pan fried, I just wish it weren't so damned salty.

>cheap

I don't understand why people think this.
Spam is not cheap at all.
It's $3+ per can.
I can get 4 blocks of tofu for $1.50 and it tastes a hell of a lot better than Spam.

>It's $3+ per can.
It's $2.50 per can, and less if you get it on sale or in bulk.

We never use the entire can. Usually we can split it into 3 to 4 meals -- so about 50cents to 65cents worth of spam per meal. So it's pretty cheap.

>I can get 4 blocks of tofu for $1.50
Where the fuck do you live , the third world?

>>3962816
There are 414 calories in 1 block of Extra Firm
There are 1080 calories in a can of spam

Enjoy your hormonal imbalance and undeserved sense of superiority

I've never seen tofu for those prices. It's usually 99 cents per block. On sale more like 79 cents.

>>3962701But can it be tasty?

If you slice it really really thin and cook it on the stove it's possible to get it down. It'll never be tasty though.

>>3962701
I personally love Spam. Cut it into small cubes and eat it with fried rice. Oh yeah.

>>3962915I've never seen tofu for those prices. It's usually 99 cents per block. On sale more like 79 cents.

Are you talking about the blocks of tofu that are floating in the brackish water at Asian groceries? Is that really safe to eat?

>>3962919
No, actual prepackaged ones.

>>3962811
>tofu
>taste

It only tastes like what you cook it with and it's basically just nutritionless filler.

>>3962935
>nutritionless filler.
Full retard.

>>3962950
>*buy

>>3962832
Asian grocery store.

A package of 4 burger-sized blocks for $1.50
If you need to add flavor, but 5 spice for .99 at the same store.
All for less than one can of Spam.

>>3962944
It is almost completely nutritionless.

I like to slice it and fry it with brown sugar. Put that on Ritz crackers (or whatever you prefer). Pretty tasty. Totally unhealthy.

>>3962950
Burger sized? That is not a one pound block at all.

I can get three oranges for 1.50 why buy steaks for five bucks herp derp.

>>3962976
>unhealthy

I beg to differ, spam is definitely high in fat and sodium. However it is also high in calories and protein, and it takes years for it to spoil, making it an excellent survival/poorfag food.

>>3963004
>spam is unhealthy but it is healthy because it lasts a long time

Cool logic dude.

>>3962975
>hurrhurrdurrr

>>3962701
spam is incredible in my opinion. For breakfast sometimes I just slice it really thin, get a nice sear on it. make a toasted sandwich with it, really nice. but i'd assume not nice for you.

>>3962701

mix it with cream cheese and pineapple jelly.
eat with ritz crackers.


I have typed this simple yet delicious recipe every time one of you faggots post some type of canned luncheon meat thread. Just make it and shut the fuck up.

>>3963020
YYYEEESSSSSSSS THIS IS THE BEST SANDWICH

Tried it once. Was absolutely disgusting cold, tried frying it and it was somewhat edible in a sandwich.

>>3963014
Healthy is a subjective term. It does lack essential vitamins and if spam is all you eat then yeah, it's unhealthy for sure.

My point wasn't about the shelf life, it was about the fact that is was a dense, high calorie food, and in moderation it is perfectly healthy.

>>3963055
>Healthy is a subjective term

>>3962910
Enjoy your pseudoscience and retarded unfounded conspiracy theories.

It sure is, if you ate nothing but spinach (a "healthy" food), you would die.

>>3962722
This is true. My roommate is Hawaiian and he loves that shit.

I don't think you know what "subjective" means.

Subjective means that it depends on someone's viewpoint. Not that it depends on the situation or context. Healthiness of a diet requires context, but it's definitely not subjective.

My girlfriend makes spam casserole which comes from a cambills soup cookbook.

Macrony, cheese, spam slices, and mushroom cream can.

>>3963135
The situation or context is part of the viewpoint.

ew man spam taste like fucken shit yo

>>3963135
I'm well aware of what subjective means.

"Spam is unhealthy" is not an objective observation.

>>3963135
I'm used to browsing /b/

It is taking everything I have not to call you a retarded faggot.

spam is pretty good... lots of fat and sodium/sodium nitrate. Goes well with rice/eggs for breakfast, makes good survival storage food, just gotta eat it in moderation, otherwise you'll grow a mullet and a neckbeard.

Spam, egg and cheese sandwiches are the shit.

>>3962811
I dunno about comparing to tofu, but I regularly see chicken breast on sale for a dollar a lb.... chick breast >>> spam.

but that's not to say spam ain't tasty as fuck.

I microwave it on high for 30 seconds. Eating it with rice is awesome. Literally.

Spam has the texture and consistency of bologna, and I hate that.

If I want pork, I'll just buy sausage or chops. Fuck Spam to hell.

One thing I don't get about spam is...

We know it's definitely available at your supermarket.

Why do various Asian grocery insist on having some.
Is there some kinda secret spam recipe we aren't been told about??

>>3963512
Spam is actually quite popular in asian countries and is a fast and convenient way to get heady, salty flavors into food. Here in the US that's like spitting in a river, but in Japan that's actually rather rare and special.

I hear they do spam sushi. D:
