Spam

**BraggSurvivor** · 03-06-2008, 01:20 AM

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

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.

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.

1. Rick can ya post without giving a link for everything

2. I like to fry my spam in chuncks, chop up some green oinios, peas, and water chestnuts, maybe a sprikle of bean sprouts and a dash of cayenne pepper. Boy is that some good eating. Mmmmmm Mmmmmm!

I thought Spam was extremely high in fat, last time I looked.

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.

Beo, it's just so much easier to post a link than to write 15 pages........

10% body fat? I laugh at you Canid. Oh, that I were just 10%..........

**canid** · 03-06-2008, 08:49 PM

it's no picnic being stuck with too little either rick. have to eat all the darned time, can't stand heat, etc.

luckily i'm putting a little on now. got giardia the year before last and list about 35lb in 2 weeks, almost killed me.

Seems that I have overcome that problem.

the spamwich. take the small 7 ounce can of spam, slice into 4 pieces. fry it up, i like mine almost burnt right around the edges. get 2 hotdogs buns and toast them. put two pieces of spam on each one of the toasted bun halves, top with a handful of shredded fiesta cheese, put back in the oven til the cheese melts. big glob of mayo on the other halves and slap it all together.yyyuuuummmmmmmy. add a moonpie for desert. don't get no better than that.

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.
