Spam is a staple in my house - but usually go with the lite or 25% less sodium ver.
Usually consume a can of spam 25% less one... maybe once in two month or so. Definitely not every day though.
I actually split them up into french-fry sized sticks, and air fry them for 10 min or so. Comes out nice and crispy, goes well as a side dish for any main rice dish.
Also Spam Musubi - very easy and tasty.
Best of all, Korean Budaechigae (Army stew) - now that's a heavenly hearty stuff for cold days - and it's not complete with authentic Spam.
You can replace weiners with other brands (I also use Kielbasa), and even skip some stuff like sliced ham and all - but you cannot skip Spam for that stew.

I feel like a bunch of you got together and decided to make a thread about how great SPAM is.
It's canned dog food for people.

Never had it before. I bought some slim packs of Spam during covid-19 in the event of a food shortage, but I never got around to eating any.

Man, I remember back in midwest in early 90s in high school.
My best buddy (white) and I (asian) go to local Hyvee, local grocery store there like "Stop & Shop" in NJ, or "Publix"
You know, he wasn't really from the richest family either - actually he's the one who taught me how to eat poor man's instant Ramen Noodle (never had like that before - he would drain the noodle, and sprinkle a bit of powder package on top with bit of butter to melt & mix) - which became another college staple for me back then, as a struggling art student who spent most of his money to paint material, canvas etc & video games.
So we go to this grocery store for me to pickup some food to eat at my dorm (during summer, I took ESL classes in local university). While picking out bunch of long-shelf life stuff - I picked out SPAM, and he picked his favorite, Dirty Moore Beef Stew for his snack.
And we gazed each other and went "How do you eat that stuff! It's gross!"
I tried Dirty Moore Beef Stew upon his request, and it's not as gross as I thought it would be - but I will take SPAM any day over it. Seriously.
That was one of the biggest culture shock for me back then - that something I grew up loved by everyone around is considered a "gross" product.
Then some show on the cable showed this.
I still am triggered by it! LOL. Spam is good - in moderation, like bacon or anything else in life! The jelly part, is little bit gross though.

I tasted all 15 flavors of Spam, and there's only one that beats the original
I tried all 15 Spam varieties, from hot and spicy to Spam with cheese. Here are the best and worst flavors of the iconic canned meat.

I had it raw before - and It's not that bad.... it's that jelly part that grosses me out to be honest.
In a pinch, like war time or stranded in a mountain with no fire - I would eat SPAM raw.
Thing about SPAM is it's actually fully cooked within (yes, after it's cooked after it's canned).

Report me if I continue to console war
Plain and raw it taste like crap, but with a little work u can make tasty things with it.

Filo's love that shit, I never ate or tried spam until I met my wife. It's pretty good, she makes them enclosed inside scrambled eggs.
*EDIT*
Like this.
I just made this, It does not look quite the same but it tastes great. I added some spicy sauce to it.

Spam musubi is the one dish that totally won me over it seemed so weird sounding that i knew i had to try it as i love japanese food to start with & this looked like a quirky mix, unfortunately the chances of finding it in the UK is zero so i learned how to make it myself, bought a proper musubi press from a seller on ebay from hawaii and had a go. When spam is fried & glazed in soy sugar & mirin it magically transforms, the saltyness from the spam & soy sauce pairs perfectly with the sushi rice & seaweed.
Probably the greatest use i have found for spam so far but there is a youtuber that tried a load of spam recipes and there's some really good ones from around the world. It's a really versatile staple to have in the cupboard.
Anyone who wants to try here's the vid she has the recipes too

I eat spam all of the time. However, I do monitor what nutrients I take in daily so it just means that I am having a low sodium day in order to justify taking the spam in. Typically stick to the low sodium or the one mixed with chicken. Though all spam is delicious. There is a dish where I am from that just has grounded spam with some seasoning(I forgot the name but it is along the lines of sazon/adobo with some garlic in it) that just makes it so delicious.
