I had no idea, that SPAM had been around for a long time. This book tells about the history of Spam, going back into the 1930's. If our Economy stays in the shape it is at the present, We all may have to buy some SPAM. Also included is some great recipes.

I love SPAM. I have done SPAM sushi, SPAM and eggs, SPAM Rancheros etc etc BUT lets talk about the book shall we?

This specific book is giant SPAM advertisement. It basically makes SPAM out tobe the seminole 20th cebntury icon next to Coca Cola and Sunberam bread etc etc, which in some ways, sure, it is. BUT, if I want SPAM advertisemnts, I would go to the web page. In that respect, the book sucks.

HOWEVER, it does provide the idea that those who really enjoy SPAM have recipes, and outlets than a mere sandwich. However, I am not awaiting for a cancer cure or ED prevention or the Rapture being delayed because someone fried some SPAM. The history was cool and reminded me alot of what its like to go to Hershey PA now.

SO, very few recipes, we learn the How Great Thou art of SPAM and thats about it.

This book is indispensable for SPAM cooking, that shows many cooking method.
It's low price and high ability, the best cost-performance.
Thank God for the SPAM & Cookbook!
SPAM goes around the globe. ---- from Tokyo Japan ------

Few foods have been as maligned and misunderstood as SPAM. I like SPAM. I like it best when it is sliced thin and fried to a salty crispness. This book is colorful, informative, full of recipes and nostalgic images. At the end of the day, you either like SPAM or you don't. I like SPAM : )

This is a great book if you like Spam. Has recipes and a lot of other information in it including history. Very interesting. Good quality publication that will last well in the kitchen.

This was a disappointment. Guess I was expecting more of a cookbook and less of a history of Spam.

I purchased this book for my husband who looks for anything unusual to cook! I think this will be a good addition to his cookcooks!
