Spam, the nectar of the gods!

The picnic table hero!

By World War II, Hormel had sold twenty thousand tons of Spam. Then, during the wartime meat rationing, Spam got popular…
If all the cans of Spam ever eaten were put end-to-end, they would circle the globe at least ten times.
In the U.S. alone, 3.8 cans of Spam “are consumed every second”(assuming SPAM is eaten 24 hours a day, 365.25 days a year).
Senator Robert Byrd of West Viginia eats a sandwich of SPAM and mayonnaise on white bread three times a week.
Residents of Hawai’i eat an average of four cans of SPAM per person per year, more than in any other place on Earth (Elsewhere in the Universe, who knows?).
By 1959, a billion cans of SPAM had been sold. The two billion mark was hit in 1970, followed by three billion in 1980, four billion in 1986, and five billion in 1993. That’s a lot of SPAM!
In Korea, SPAM is sold in stylish presentation gift boxes of nine cans each. SPAM stolen from army PXs can be found on the Korean black market. And there are Korean imitations called Lo-Spam, Dak, Plumrose, and Tulip, to ensure that no one need go without.
Nikita Krushchev once credited SPAM with the survival of the WWII Russian army. ”Without SPAM, we wouldn’t have been able to feed our army,” he said.
SPAM is sold in over 99% of U.S. grocery stores.
The SPAM luncheon meat trademark is registered in 93 countries.
Over 60 million people in the U.S. eat SPAM.
SPAM is made in two U.S. locations – Austin, Minnesota, and Fremont, Nebraska – and seven other countries: England, Australia, Denmark, Phillipines, Japan, Taiwan, and South Korea.
In 1989, the U.S. armed forces bought 3.3 million pounds of SPAM.
Over 141 million cans of SPAM are sold worldwide each year.

America Loves it’s Spam!!

Ever catfish with it? I may have to wash my spam hat and wear it a bit.

I always thought you were crazy, now I see your nuts.

A few years ago at work we had a Spam themed pot luck.

Spam Hot Dogs would be a step up!!

Spam (shortened from spiced ham)[1] is a canned precooked meat product made by the Hormel Foods Corporation, first introduced in 1937. The labeled ingredients in the classic variety of Spam are chopped pork shoulder meat, with ham meat added, salt, water, modified potato starch as a binder, and sodium nitrite as a preservative. Spam’s gelatinous glaze, or aspic, forms from the cooling of meat stock.[2] The product has become part of many jokes and urban legends about mystery meat, which has made it part of pop culture and folklore.[3] Through a Monty Python sketch, in which Spam is portrayed as ubiquitous and inescapable, its name has come to be given to electronic spam, including spam email.[4]

In 2007, the seven billionth can of Spam was sold.[5] On average, 3.8 cans are consumed every second in the United States.[6]

Spam aka: Scientifically Processed Animal Matter

I think even a channel cat would hurl if you put that stuff in the water.

Someone has been to the spam museum.

Looks as if BK is working hard to get a catfish tournament sponsor….Picture his boat wrapped with the Mystery Meat logo….”With Spam its in the can”. He will probably also be wearing a horned helmet singing the Spam song from Monty Python….Spam – Spam – Spam – Spam…

I’ll admit we had fried Spam as kids. I haven’t had any in the last 20+ years that I can think of. What I remember thinking when that stuff slid out of the can was “I wonder if this crap stays good forever?”

Maybe it’s a good doomsday supply, who knew?

The secret tourny winning bait!

Dutch, I have my dooms-day supply of Spam right next to my Twinkies.

PS I did notice an expiration date on a can the other day. I’ve had it for at least a year and it was labeled 2015….but we all know it doesn’t expire.

AN ODE TO SPAM(tm)

Oh SPAM(tm)! Oh SPAM(tm)! Gourmet delight!
My food by day, my dreams by night.
To carve, to slice, to dice you up –
pureed in a blender and sipped from a cup.

What shining deity from Olympus knelt
down to the earth and hog butt smelt?
Creating then man’s eternal desire
for swine entrails congealed by fire.

On some corporate farm, a pig has died.
Eyes, tongue, and snout end up inside
that cube of SPAM(tm) hidden in the can
I now hold in my trembling hand.

More than mere food, SPAM(tm) is for me
a hedonistic expression of gluttonous glee.
Mottled with pork fat, the pink cube engrosses.
My mouth takes it in, my intestine disposes.

Long have my arteries clogged to the sound
of sizzling SPAM(tm) when there’s no one around –
furtively chewing or swallowing whole.
Triple bypass by forty, my medical goal.

Other processed meat products I’ve tried or declined
Vienna Sausages, Treet, even pig’s feet in brine.
Though each may be tasty in different ways,
none matches SPAM(tm) for gelatinous glaze.

That glistening pinkness beckons me
with gristle, fat, and BHT.
Oh SPAM(tm), my SPAM(tm) – the taste, the smell!
The sacred meat product, from Hormel.

Are we getting a glimpse into BK’s next business venture? Will it be an all SPAM menu?

PS – I had dinner with Cal at El Loro across the road from this place last night. The BK Family Restaurant is real. In case you’re thinking of making a reservation.

Might want to stop here first!

Who can forget this one:

That’s what I’m talking about!

Spam really hasn’t been any good since the gel disappeared out of cans which I think was 10 years ago.
