Was frying up some thinly sliced spam when a friend stopped by. He starts going off on how his father in law cooks the stuff and it's nasty. On and on how bad it is. I finally ask, have you actually tried some? Had just finished a plate and set some in front of him. He took a small bit expecting to justify his conclusion. Just said damn. Ate another piece and started cussing. Was going to have to call his father in law and apologize. So don't claim it's bad if you have not tried any.

Though it is one of the few things Andrew Zimmerman will not eat.

Cube it up and fry it with onions and small red potatoes cut into quarters.

Saw the episode where he went to Hawaii and was gagging while choking down a Spam musubi.    

Funny, when he'll eat the turds out of a gnat's ass and proclaim how great they are.  

ETA:  I cut it up in 1/2" cubes and put it on my salad sometimes.  Stay away from the Teriyaki Spam.  

Dog farts up storm and gets the runs.

Ya'll are missng out.  

Open faces spam sandwiches:
Grate spam
Grate 1 medium white onion
Grate cheddar cheese

Mix together and place on hamburger bun halves - bake at 425. Till nice and golden!


YOU ARE WELCOME.  

Growing up we were fairly poor. To make the dollar stretch mom made a spread from Spam.

Run through a food grinder:
1 can of Spam cut into chunks.
equal amount of Velveeta cheese chunked
1 large dill pickle
1/4 cup onion

Mix well and add enough Mayo to hold mixture together. Spread generously on hamburger buns and wrap each in foil. Bake at 400 degrees for about 15-20 minutes till the cheese is melted and the outside of bun is toasty. Serve hot.

It was a cheap way to feed a family but being poor we ate it all to often. We learned to work hard so we'd never be so poor we'd have to eat it again.

open the can and enjoy

Back from Wegmans - picked up two cans of the lite.  I plan to make a delicious breakfast tomorrow morning.

Huh, I actually like teriyaki SPAM.

Teriyaki SPAM omelet:

Half a can, fried

6 eggs

Half a brick of pepper jack cheese (approx. 4 oz)

Crushed red pepper and black pepper to taste

Enjoy!

As mediocre as SPAM is in the comfort of a home, few things taste as good as SPAM cooked over a fire outdoors.

Sorry your Dad isn't still around.

Tried the Musubi in Hawaii a couple of years ago. They sell it in convenience stores there just like sausage biscuits and beef jerky are sold here. It was...interesting.

Cube up the spam into smallish cubes


dice up some onion (white, yellow or sweet)





with some sesame oil or bacon fat fry the spam and onions in large skillet (I use cast iron) or wok on medium heat until crispy and onions are soft, remove from pan and set aside





I like to use canned peas to save time, carrots and broccoli are also good, use whatever you like, cook them first by steaming or one of those frozen microwave bags. I usually just stick with peas to keep it simple





crack 1-2 eggs depending on portions and preference into the pan


destroy the yolk a spread with the bottom of your spatula then with the edge of the spatula "slice" the egg into thin strips, just move the spatula side to side before the egg really starts to cook. You aren't scrambling them, but you don't want just a fried egg either, if you do it right you should have strips of egg that have distinct white and yellow sections





Once the egg strips firm up a bit (just enough that the veggies don't mix in, you want the egg to stay separate) add veggies and return spam and onion back to pan, stir to combine


add day old cooked rice (day old is important) and a small amount of soy sauce





toss to combine and heat through, add pepper





I don't have specific amounts, it's really just a guideline I follow but it's delicious and it gets requested at home often


and it's cheap

 

Last fall we fried up some spam and it made us all sick as dogs. Never again.

If I happen to roll by it in the store, I just wonder who actually buys it and why.
