I was wondering if anyone has any good recipes or ideas on what to do with Spam?

A friend of mine was asking and to tell you the truth I had no idea. I dont even know what it is made of.

Ideas?

first off; spam is made from mechanically proccesed pork shoulder [who knows what they place into that category], with water, salt and spices [again; who knows what they place into that category] added.

for recipes, you might try looking up any modern hawaiian food recipe, as half thier cuizine seems to incorporate it :D

i like it with cubed spuds, garlic and green, spring or wild onions fried in light corn oil [K.I.S.S.].

I like it fried, slice it 1/4" to 1/2" thick, serve with 3 fresh eggs over easy. With a sideorder of Moose Nuggets.

Korea loves them some SPAM too, they have it in flavors. Guys show up to ask a girl out they bring a six pack of spam instead of flowers.

Before I got married, I had a Korean roommate, and I thought it was funny that he'd buy Spam all the time. His favorite use was to put it in yellow curry with rice. It was quite tasty.

if you're like me, you have a hard time keeping above 10% body fat. during winter, i used to eat clarified bacon grease in place of butter on my toast in the mornings.

Macaroni noodles, thin chunked Spam, Diced tomato's and Ms Dash.

A chunk of Spam. A slice of cheese. A jug of wine. And Thee!

Spam; not as good as Bacon but it will keep you alive.

I have tried the Spam with cheese, The Bacon flavored spam and The Turkey Spam. I do like the Turkey Spam. Dice it up and add it to a box of dressing mix and it makes a great camping dinner.

Spam is made from deboned pork shank.

You can use Spam in any manner that you would a small ham.
Atleast once a week I slice some up, add some spices, then fry it off and serve it with fried eggs, plate of grits, and hot bisquits covered with fresh cane mollases.

Rick

Oh, that gelatinous mass of goo when you first open the can. The eerie sucking sound as the spam slowly oozes out of the can. The speckled bits and flecks that permeate the meat like body of the product. Those are the things memories are made of. How can anyone not love spam?

So, wildgoth, which part of the "part asian" requires spam?

You can avoid that sucking sound....just use a spoon and eat it from the can!:rolleyes:

P.S.
I don’t know if this is on all the turkey cans but mine has "Proper Spam User Guide" on the back. Step 2 is the best " Squeeze until it Pops".

Here's what I do with it: Note this was an adapted recipe caused by running out of bacon...

Put 2 cups rice on to boil. (4 cups water)

take can of spam and dice.
put in another pan with a dice onion and diced ortega chilis.
saute.
add one bag of frozen shelled edemame(soybeans)
saute until cooked, 10 minutes max.
add the cooked rice and stir in 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

serve with a fine canned beer

Chopped up into very small pieces, add equally small chunks of potatos, season salt,pepper, garlic and onion powder. Fry up like you would corn beef hash, when potatoe are almost done "scramble in a couple of eggs some crumbled bacon pieces. cover with some sausage gravy, and serve with fresh hot bisquits.

Spam (and its generic knock-offs) is one of my FAVORITE backpack foods. It packs well, and it is a lot of calories and replenishment of salts in one can - good hiking food. You can eat it like it is or roast it on a stick, or make soup with it, or whatever you want. Very versitile.

The empty can is very useful, too. On a hike last year I used an empty Spam can to steam a crawfish. I stuffed it in the can with some wild onions and some water. Turned out pretty good. The only problem is that the can has a plastic coated lining that you might want to burn out before using. Otherwise the can makes a very handle little pot/cup/bowl.

On a side note, we almost never had real Spam. We usually got the cheaper, less tasty TREET. If you are not familiar with it, its kind of like meat-flavored jello. Not nearly as good as Spam, but for "po folks" like us, it was good enough.

Wow, would you be referring to "Taylor Pork Roll" (it's own separate food group along with bacon)?

Cut SPAM into small chuncks, add chopped onions, 1 can of red Kidney beans, simmer for 15 minutes, add a dash of hot sauce and a side of cornbread.
