Whats with the hate for Spam? I’m not even from Hawaii but I can’t see anything wrong with how it’s made or it’s flavor.

Spam is underated. I mostly eat it at breakfast sliced thin then browned in a skillet. The bacon flavor genuinely tastes like bacon. Couldnt ever eat spam without browning it first. But ill eat soam and eggs everyday no problem

Spam is going to be a great inflation hedgable source of protein, since you can buy a large quantity of it before prices go up too much.

Spam is exquisite. I spent time on Guam growing up, and Shirley's had a fucking excellent Spam fried rice that was super famous on the island.

My only grievance is that regular Spam has a bit too much salt. I like Spam lite, but it, as with every other odd flavor of Spam, doesn't have the plain 6 ingredients - they add chicken and a few other things. Somehow, none of them cook up as well as the original. They somehow don't brown as well. Still good, though. The best as the chorizo flavor, which I haven't seen in years. The bacon flavor is okay, but it's wayyyy too salty.

But, Spam Lite is way better to eat regularly. It's nowhere near as salty and the texture is nearly the same.

People that hate it are just tastelets. They probably just have a preconceived notion that it's gross, poor food (it's not even cheap, though).

As far as processed, canned meat goes, though, it's very simple. Six very plain ingredients. It's very wholesome for a substantially, shelf stable food.

It’s really not that expensive when you compare it to other meat prices.

>>16867922
The whole aversion to a food being “shelf stable” gives me a laugh. For millennia people were using these techniques because preservation was necessary to survival and now people act like it’s some Frankenstein-tier thing that will kill you. I get that man learning to control nature has produced easily accessible fresh foods, but nothing about preservation is unusual. I’m obviously not vegan yet I agree that the conditions of factory farms are horrendous. Preserved meats are a decent way we can deal with overflow so we’re not just slaughtering animals only to throw away 70% of good, edible meat.

>>16867972
I always stock up on spam and such when I can. I don’t expect an apocalypse, but if a big storm runs through and knocks out the power for a day or two I can heat some up over the fire pit with some eggs for a decent meal.

Yeah, if you compare it to ribeye. If you compare it to similar meat products it's very expensive. Spam is almost $5/lb. If you want it for prepping purposes then I can understand paying extra, but if you're just gonna eat it this weekend then fuck that extra cost.

It’s because of
1) the nitrates, potato starch, and sugar added to spam. The inferior ingredients to lower the quality of SPAM to that of hot dogs (shitty sausage)
2) a texture thing. The ground sausage and casing have a bite and chew that spam doesn’t have.
I actually like SPAM, to. Dice, fry in chunks, add ramen noodles, peanut butter, and diced chili. Amazing dinner.

Argie here. Used to be we'd export the best to the well to do, eat the good shit, and export shit like jerky and corned beef to th poor because nobody here wanted to eat it. Cue 50 years of nearly uncontested Peronism while in democracy, cut mostly by a few relatively short but incredibly disasterous dictatorships that did dumb shit like pick a fight with the bongs as a last ditch effort to gain favor that they're quickly losing.

Now we export the best, export the good too because nobody can afford it, and eat the crap nobody wanted to eat before, just in regular form because potted meat and jerky are still seen as a thing for subhumans. It might still be the same cuts we've always been used to, but from the worst possibly cows. There's currently twice-an-hour ads on national TV for a Knorr product which is literally just wheat flour plus a bunch of artificial flavor, and it's meant to be used to stretch ground beef by an additional 50%. It's a 140g of pack that tells you to add a specific amount of water (basically as much as the flour can possibly hold) and then add your ground beef. I expect it sells tremendously well. We've fallen by the wayside so hard it's unbelievable.
