So it has been about two months since my first and only spam meal, and I have to say that I have been really obsessing how it gets crispy on the outside and really tender and flavorful on the inside over the last couple of days...I think I am going to have to run this taste test over again...

That's fair. There's a reason most people dislike it, and it became the universal nickname for "email we don't want."

I consider the matter closed.

So I haven't eaten anything all day to give the Spam the benefit of the doubt.

I made one of those official Hawaii spamburgers, and then I fried up a small slice in a pan with extra virgin olive oil.

It wasn't terrible.

Even the reduced sodium version I purchased was way too salty for me to consider it anything other than snack meat.

4/10

Pinback, you keep up those kind of funny zingers and I might get to like you too much.

I've eaten Spam, and I wanted to say that I know what "Pocky" is. I bought it months ago at one of those international markets over in Silver Spring, MD. It's like a round wafer made into a stick and dipped in a strawberry glaze. It is definitely very tasty. Just like an ice cream cone, you not only eat the topping, you eat the container too!

I don't mind if you brush off the gelatin, there's not THAT much. It's not like, a whole layer, it's just, y'know, enough to let it sliiiide outta the can with that nauseating "plop" we love so much.

by **Spambiguous** » Thu Sep 29, 2016 5:03 pm

I am really tempted to purchase a can of it today just to understand what all the fuss is about over the product. Would I be right in assuming that you need to scrape off the gelatinous top covering I read about before consuming, or is that where all the flavor resides?

While I enjoy ham, I go bonkers over pork shoulder. Does Spam make a variety that is just 100% canned pork shoulder?

by **pinback** » Thu Sep 29, 2016 1:00 pm

Hormel's current stance is that "SPAM" is a contraction of "Spiced Ham" (though in the past, they went with "Shoulder of Pork & Ham") so it definitely resembles ham more than, say, any other lunch meat, but saying "it tastes like ham" is, in my opinion, incorrect.

If you like ham, by all means, buy ham instead of SPAM. But they are definitely not substitutes for each other (even if that was Hormel's original intent back in WW2 days.)

by **Spambiguous** » Thu Sep 29, 2016 12:37 pm

I was reading some reviews online that stated Spam just tastes like salty ham, you recommend that people buy the low sodium ham, which should taste like less salty ham, or a lot like ham, I like ham, so why not just cut to the chase and purchase ham instead? If you compare the amount of ounces in a can of Spam, the price point is very reasonably within that of regular ham, therefore, what is the benefit of buying Spam?

Favorite SPAM dish: Hawaiian breakfast plate, which is a scoop or two of white rice, a slice or two of fried SPAM, and one or two eggs prepared the way you like (over-easy for me, please.)

Search this forum for Ben's Famous "Dyin' Hawaiian" burger. I only made it once, but it was still the best thing ever.
