if you removed the rice, I would eat that up like a tasty little lord.

>be poor
>buy bag of rice
>carton of eggs
>couple cans of spam
>still eat better than most of the world for breakfast
>being american is comfy af

I probably wouldn't order it at McDonald's though. I like the biscuits and gravy.

reminds me of childhood

Looks like a fine meal after a night of too many over garnished tiki drinks.

Wondering why it's not more popular in Mainland America

>>8945093
the rice is unnecessary

>>8945093

Looks like McDonalds breakfast in Guam. Portuguese Sausage breakfast meal is superior though.

>>8945150
Swap the rice for toast and it's not uncommon, though most people have a weird aversion to spam

>>8945159
You mean nutritionally? What would be the ideal 3rd component if not grain? Veg instead?

>>8945093
prefer spam to be crispier

>>8945093
It makes me feel like I wish the eggs were sunny side up and OVER the rice, like pic related.

>>8945176

Which baffles me but then again I'm asian and we love that shit. I think it's because most Americans eat it straight from the can as opposed to actually slicing and cooking it

>>8945093
No pepper on the eggs or spam?

>>8945093
hawaiian

>>8945178
Potatoes, biscuit, anything really. Just not plain ass rice.

>>8945204
Ive never seen anyone eat it without cooking it

>>8945093

Like an islander.

>>8945093
i get this for breakfast from time to time

rice needs shoyu tho

>>8945204
>most Americans
Never once seen this in my fucking life.
Hell, I've never seen anyone eat Spam.

I guess it's easy to generalize when literally everyone in your culture looks the same.

>>8945093
rather add a sweet potato

Teriyaki glazed spam is superior

>>8945307
>shoyu
Just say soy sauce you fucking weeb

I want to see the machine McDonald's cooks the rice in. I can't find anything on Google Images.

>>8945093
Why does pseudocultures like the Phillipines, USA, UK and all of South America have such shitty cuisine

>>8945436
People in Hawaii call it shoyu, fuck off.

>>8945485
People in Hawaii are weeaboo cunts then

>>8945093
During a low point in my life I'd throw a slice of spam in a pan to toughen it up a bit, then chop it up and through it in instant ramen. Worked well with the pork flavour.
>>8945204
Over here in Ameriland Spam is considered a cheap, unhealthy poorfag food. That, and for the price you can get bacon and other, better meats nowadays there's really no reason to get Spam if you own a fridge.

>>8945497
>through it in ramen
*Throw

>>8945497
?

>>8945515
No idea, grabbed the image from /k/ a while ago, for the keks.

>>8945093
Scottish breakfast is best British breakfast

>>8945093
chee hoo brah

>>8945515
It's filled with wu tang albums

Best spam recipe

>>8945312

Nope, lived all over America and from what I've seen the average American eats SPAM straight from the can. It's fucking disgusting and it amazes me why they never bother to cook it

>>8945137
this

>>8946393
Are you some poorfag who has floated from ghetto to ghetto his whole life? Because the typical reaction that I've seen around Spam is "wow, you actually eat that stuff?"

>>8945093
Switch
>rice = potatoes
>spam = cheapest frozen Salisbury steak
>add side of peas
Then you'd have my childhood up till age 8.

>>8946670

If by "ghetto" you mean small towns in the South and Midwest, I suppose so.

>Because the typical reaction that I've seen around Spam is "wow, you actually eat that stuff?

That tends to be the reaction I get when I lived in cities.

>>8946734
r u me

>>8945093
eat this an adult

the only thing I add is kimchi to balance it out

>>8945093
honey coated pan fried spam steaks are god-tier. I can't believe I ate it raw for a while.

Throw in some onions, garlic and cheese to the eggs and that's what I have every day minus the rice.

>>8946670
>"wow, you actually eat that stuff?"
Usually asked by someone that has never had it.

>>8945093

i eat this minus the eggs and way crispier on lazy days or when i'm having a bad day.

havent had it in literal years, but fuuuck i really want some now.

>>8945176
>though most people have a weird aversion to spam
Because it is seen as a poverty war time type of food, they are missing out though.

>>8945093
why do chinks love spam so much

>>8945093
poor and unpriviledged

>>8945118
tasty little lord

>>8946393
I've never seen anyone eat it raw

How do I make eggs that look like that? Just low-and-slow on the pan?

I like how there's no crisp texture from frying.

>>8947785
Probably because they're not poor and can afford actual food.

>>8946743
I live in a small town in the South and nobody I have ever known eats spam.
Even when I worked for poormarts like Dollar General I'd see someone buying spam once in a blue moon.

>>8948970
My parents served us pic related for breakfast often. I wasn't keen on it growing up, but now I treat it as a guilty pleasure every now and then.

Just about everyone I know thinks Spam is horrifying until I make it for them. If they still don't like it... hey, more for me.

>>8950323
You cook a liquid egg mixture, freeze it, and then warm it up at the restaurant, just like McDonald's does.

>>8949053
who is this white trash whore

>>8946393
are you stupid? the meat in the cat precooked. although it is disgusting without throwing it on the pan.

>>8945093
Bad

>>8950352
This. Poor people here eat this instead.

never had spam in all my 32 years

>>8945093
Nostalgic. I spent my teenage years in Hawaii.

>>8950352

Lived in an unincorporated county in southern Illinois, Leeville,LA and a small town outside of Tampa,FL. I've seen the locals eat spam once in a while but it was by no means popular, and they would usually eat it without cooking. When I lived in Illinois my friends mom liked chopping it up into cubes and adding it to ramen and soup.

>>8950451
is this shit good? seems like it'd be pretty comfy with a couple fried eggs

>>8946734
how does it feel living a life so painfully bland and white?

>>8945093
this is how I still eat

So SPAMfags, is the best way to cook it slice thin then pan fry until crispy?

>>8951341
You also want to marinate it before cooking it

>>8951344
is that how I obscure the pet food smell?

>>8945093
looks like shit. reminds me of hawaii. it's missing the gravy and hamburger patty. or alternatively the seaweed wrap that makes it a musubi.

that is a HUGE portion.

>>8951489
>huge portion
of rice maybe, but that's maybe 2 eggs and only a couple small spam slices

>>8945093
Hungry. But everything makes me feel hungry when I'm cutting.

>>8951519
well yes rice is the worst. why do the eggs look like they were scooped out of an industrial steam tray?

>>8951526
>rice is the worst
rice is amazing
As for the egg, i don't know, maybe it's pre-made? I don't even know how they got it to be that shape and colour, but someone in the thread said that happens when you freeze eggs after cooking

>>8951489
>>8951526
>That guys that has to be hyper critical of absolutely everything for no real reason
Its clearly a normal-sized portion of rice with scrambled eggs made on a griddle.
Why be so finnicky?

>>8945183

>having the sauced pasta on the same plate

Disgusting mongol

>>8946393
You've known some real trashy people.

>>8951545
You don't actually need carbs to live.

>Why be so finnicky?
Professional athlete. Can't help it, brainwashed.

>>8951072
Corned beef hash is actually pretty great. Though it's better if you buy the corned beef yourself and THEN make it into hash.

>>8950352
>nobody I have ever known eats spam

30 year old American who has lived coast to coast

has never once met a person who ate it from the can dude

>>8945093
Need some gravy over the rice.

Have sunny side up eggs instead
>when you dip the spam in the yolk

>>8951885
Ya was about to post that when I saw this. Sunny-side egg drizzled with soya sauce over rice + a slab of luncheon meat is an actual poorfag asian meal.

>>8945552
dont call the scottish british, they'll fucking end you lad

>>8951950
Retard.

>>8951892
But's it's good though

>in moderation

>>8945515

>>8945093
Hawaiian.

>>8945093
It looks pretty good.

So Hawaiians are like the Midwesterners of Asian cuisine?

I don't understand how it all went so wrong. Too much flip influence?

>>8951950
no we won't

>>8945093
That's what we in the third world eat as a treat

Would class it as passable scran on a camping trip.

>>8951548
>sauced pasta

You've never had a Hawaiian plate, have you?

>>8951950
dumb cunt

>>8945176
>weird aversion to trash cuts and mechanically seperate meat
Makes ya think

>>8952859
Spam is fucking delicious. Slice that shit thin and fry it in a pan for a minute and its better than a thick cut of fried ham

spams actually pretty expensive
like 4-5 bucks a can

>>8945093
Fun fact: when I was stationed in Korea in the 80's, Spam was a huge black market item. It had to be rationed for US soldiers because at the first of the month the korean army wives would clear out the Spam aisle and sell it on the black market.

>>8952876
Do you live in Micronesia or something? Spam's half that where I live

>>8952873
>hypersalty msm sponge that smells like cat food is better than a real cut of cured meat
suuuuure

>>8953031
try it sometime

>>8945093
pretty standard poor fag breakfast. but if you want to save money, don't buy that shit at hawaii mcdonalds, instead make it at fucking home

>>8952919
i live in illinois
spam is actually really common and cheap on most pacific islands

>>8945093
I'll be damned if I have my hashbrowns replaced by rice

>>8953049
I have.
>inb4 you just did it wrong

>>8951970

Nice

>>8945118

I had a J D Wetherspoon's breakfast this morning. So much better than McDonalds, probably the best chain restaurant breakfast out there.

>>8945497
I'm currently a software developer who makes good money and I still make spam fried rice once every few months. Stuff is still tasty.

>>8945497
>That, and for the price you can get bacon and other, better meats
Not in the same quantities. I really hope you havent been eating an entire can of spam at once, that's like 3500 calories

>>8953148
waitress better be coming back with some more butter for that amount of toast

>>8954875
>Being this obese

>>8945093
Damn, I completely misunderstood that thumbnail. I thought it was a thin slice of meatloaf, some Mac and cheese, and mashed potatoes. Carb heavy, but comfy as fuck. As it exists, I don't see the point of the rice. Spam and eggs by itself is a perfectly okay breakfast.

>>8954900
Nah senpai. I don't eat toast often but anons right. If you're gonna have toast you gotta have butter.

>>8954905
1 of those is more than enough for 1 slice of toast, there are 2 and 4 halves of toast. 2 will leave you with spare butter

>>8954929
I might just be having a perspective problem then.

>>8953127
You probably just have a deficiency anon, hohohoho

>>8954929
>only buttering your toast on one side like your French
