Spam burgers are the best. Just open a can of spam, stand it up on the edge make 3 even slices and grill like a burger. Really good. Add lettuce, Mayo, mustard and stuff, can't beat it.

I keep a couple cans in our emergency kit (tornado shelter). We happen to like spam and it's a great item to have on hand for emergencys...it ranks right up there with the vienna sausages, and jar or peanut butter!

Wow!! Don't even have to take it out of the can? Tough knife!

From that day to this, I have never eaten Spam, and will never voluntarily do so.
Enough said.
BIG mistake on Hormel's part. I would imagine if you ever witnessed hot dogs being made, you would never eat those either (maybe you don't). I love Spam and hot dogs myself, although I try not to eat them too much.
As a commercial real estate appraiser, I've seen the kitchens of more than a few restaurants, some of them very nice upscale places. I always think - man, I'll never eat THERE again in my life. But I do.
Ohh how we love Spam and really I don't want to know how it's made. The important thing is that if you stockpile enough of it when the apocalypse comes you wont have to scavenge until it's a little safer, because it would survive even a nuclear attack.

Very true; the largest per capita consumption of Spam is in Hawaii.
Kat52 and Ron3rd brought up a good statistic, wonder who knows, without looking it up what state is #2? HINT: It is one of RVers favorite bucket list destinations.
I am 70+ and during the war, WW II that is, spam was pretty easy to come by and Mom cooked it two or three times a month, my favorite was sliced, covered with orange marmalade(hard to come by then) and baked in the oven. When summering on the Oregon coast in 1949 and 50 my brother would take me and the son of the folks we lived with out hiking on the creek behind the house and we'd have spam and eggs cooked on a little fire in the sand. These are never to be forgotten memories. Our DGKs love spam and we keep it on hand in the S&B and the MoHo. During my life as a sailor, we ate pretty good as submarines get extra commrats (commisary rations) but there were two things always in the food locker, spam in five pound loafs and hot dogs. After three months at sea some of us got tired of the really great food our cooks preped and would ask for either the hot dogs or the spam.
