Now...I'm not a huge fan of Spam. I can and have used it diced up in scrambled eggs, or fried rice, or macaroni and cheese, but I've never been the type that can cut off a slab o' Spam and eat it on a bun. That doesn't mean I don't appreciate the shelf stable nature of Spam.
Anyway, I ignored the 75th Annivesary Spam special...until they ended up on the 50% off shelf. Combined with the sale and the discount, it brought the Spam down to $1.42 a can. I don't need to like it very much at that price. I didn't buy all of it, but I did buy about two dozen cans. I'm hoping it will probably taste better than crows I shoot in my backyard when I am furloughed later this year.
I'm kind of looking for an excuse break into some of it I bought...the two new varieties are 'Black Pepper' and 'Jalapeno'. I'm thinking that jalapeno flavor might be okay diced into some eggs or mac and cheese.
Try a fried egg, fried spam, cheese with pickled banana peppers on toast.
ReplyDeleteI first had one of these back about 1975 in the Philippines at a Subic Bay SRF food stand that catered to the locals who were working in the shipyard.
Been making them for myself ever since.
