What is Spam, the food?

mikeh, technically pork shoulder is not ham; sometimes it is called picnic ham and while it comes from the same animal it like Welsh Rabbit isn’t rabbit and Corinthian leather isn’t leather, picnic ham isn’t ham.

I haven’t had spam in the 30 years I’ve been a vegetarian but as I remember spam, it was a little slimy and gross straight from the can but sliced and fried was rather tasty.

Grammar sticklers make me feel like there’s hope for the world after all.

I don’t think I’ve ever had Spam, myself. Meat in cans gives me the willies.

Where did this rumor start that Spam was ‘’leftover meat’’? It’s ham. That’s all. Just ham. Specifically, it’s pork shoulder that’s been bound together with potato starch and aspic.

It is not made from more than one animal, and it is not made from substandard meat. The name is a portmanteau of ‘’spiced ham.’’

I am from Hawaii, Spam is popular here in Hawaii. Spam is made with leftover meat from more than one animal along with salt, water, and other ingredients. Just like Hotdogs. It is very good but salty =]. It is precook, so you cant eat it straight out of the can =].

I thought spam is a brand of processed luncheon meat.

I actually like spam…

its just summet you stick on a sarnie

its a horrible processed meat, its got a website, if you really wanna see it. SPAM.com
