You're supposed to balance out the saltiness with sticky kine white rice and extra mayo laden mac salad, dum dum.

It's canned meat that was invented during ww2 and is made from disgusting scraps. It is meant to last until doomsday.

As a yuropoor I never witnessed spam in real life and I'm kinda curious

However I haven't ever came across a canned meat that tasted good

You have to know how to serve it right.
Meaning, not straight out of the fucking can.

It's so damn good for breakfast, fried until golden brown, eggs fried or scrambled, a bit of cheese, between lightly toasted bread.

Looks like Filipino SPAM. Idk your local Asian store might stock it if you live in the west coast

>> No.8584595

do people look at spam and really think that you just eat it straight out of the can? i mean i guess you could do that in a life or death situation, but that's not the way you're supposed to eat this garbage.

it needs to be cooked and it needs to be paired with something that can benefit from the saltiness. eggs, rice, toast. when it's fried and actually has a texture that's not just nasty ass mush, it's basically the equivalent of patty sausage, bacon, or (gasp) fried ham. because, you know, that's all it is. ham.

it's depression era food. if you look at it from that perspective, that explains 1) the initial nastiness and 2) the shelf stability of it. but, really, when you treat it like a normal food item, all of the novelty evaporates and you just have yourself a plain ass breakfast meat.

salt is a preservative, and SPAM take this to the logical extreme

SPAM and a few other foods were made famous for incredible long shelf lives. Mainly because they cooked out all the nutation and then packed them full of salt to the point nothing would ever try to eat them.

Then at some point in time an unsuspecting human buys them by mistake, and boom profit. It a longterm profit strategy, but it does work.

I don't mind spam. Don't eat it regularly though.
Take it camping with me and its a nice addition to whatever else I'm cooking.
I have also been to the Spam Museum.
