3.0 out of 5 stars
Back to the future with Spam, December 24, 2008
When I was growing up, we ate a fair amount of Spam. Every so often, I revisit those days, by purchasing some Spam and trying to enjoy it. And I think of the old Monty Python segment focusing on Spam. . . .
It's not so easy for me to enjoy! Plain Spam, even cooked, doesn't do it for me. I start out with good intentions of eating it as part of a meal and normally throw quite a bit of it out. So, this time around, I tried something different--a fried Spam sandwich.
I cut up and fried some shallots, slathered a couple pieces of bread with Dijon mustard and catsup, and melted some American cheese over the Spam. And it worked! This time, I successfully fixed something that didn't feature the Spam taste. The result was an enjoyable sandwich.
So, instead of throwing out all the Spam (as has happened in the past), I'm going to use my imagination this time in preparing this for a meal. In the past, this would have rated 1 to 2 stars; this time around, I'll give it three.

And if you don't want to spring for "new" Spam, Amazon sells it "used". Whoa.

Thank you, Art Donovan....., October 5, 2009
I NEVER ate SPAM until I read in Art Donovan's book "Fatso" about how he hid a case of it under his bed during basic training. The sergeant found it and asked Art what he was going to do with it. "Eat it!" said Art. "Well, eat it you will!" said the Sarge (or something like that) and I believe he gave Art a deadline to finish that whole case of SPAM. Well, Art ate and ate and went thru that case of SPAM, and in the process of doing so, "Fried SPAM" was mentioned.
Somehow, that whetted my appetite, and I went out and bought one TIN of SPAM -- cut a slice or two and fried it - noting that it sort of slid around in the pan on its own power -- (i.e., NO grease or shortening was needed). Eventualy I finished the tin, and felt like my innards were sliding around for a few days afterwards.
Was the SPAM good? YES!! Was it cloying? YES!
Would I buy it and fry it again? Maybe... in very thin slices, or maybe cook it (and drain it periodically) with pineapple -- because SPAM tastes GREAT!!!.
Thank you SPAM, Thank you Art Donovan!
