Hmmm, wondering what Spam cooked in an air fryer would be like, I mean I've cooked hotdogs and plant based brats in the air fryer so I would think it would be like, well, fried Spam.

I didn't know there was a shortage of nitrates and nitrites.

I always thought it was weird that a Japanese guy from Hawaii would like Spam and rice, for breakfast. Turns out that being a long boat ride from everywhere makes canned meat look like foie gras, go figure.

Pete made a number of spamtacular dishes.

That's about as obscure as it gets. What conversation are you in?

Room mate in college was from Hawaii, Japanese heritage.He ate a lot of Spam, which apparrently is popular in the islamds due to the distance from sources of food

Actually, I think it got popularized by the Nisei soldiers coming home WW2. I'm from Hawaii and of Japanese descent, but I don't eat a lot of those meats. Mom never really used SPAM, but when the SPAM musubi craze started when I was in college, she joined in. People like it in a satojoyu sauce, but not me. If I make one of those things, I just pan fry it and put it in the musubi press. It has to have rice on the top and bottom, and wrapped in half a sheet of nori.

Nowdays, I prefer Tulip over SPAM. You can make a nice sandwich with fried SPAM and a fried egg. Mayo is a must, and I love it with my egg sunny side up.

[QUOTE=herr_oberst;12241517]I cannot find my recipe for Spambalaya. There's a few on the google, but I kind of liked mine, so until I find it not going to post.

Here's some things I've put together over the years. I really like the Spam Enchiladas.

How does a person grate Spam? :confused:
Or has Spam changed in texture since the last I had it? (50 years ago)

SPAM and other similar canned meats were a classic menu item for my 1970's and 1980's Boy Scout back packing days. Wood smoke and frying SPAM brings back memories.

I had the exact dish many times growing up in East Tenn.

Also sliced/fried with eggs.

If'n I got lucky, Mom would let me open the can.

I can remember at least 2 Boy Scout campouts where some hapless Scout required medical attention because of the sharp edges left after opening the can; heck, I might have been a victim. I do lean towards the accident prone.

It's funny how we just accepted minor dangers BITD!

Canned sardines could cut you. People knew how to do siht that many years ago.


With a lot less by way of tools. Cordless screwdriver:

The preferred alternative to SPAM in my early years.......

Mom used to have those in the pantry. An easy meal was Vienna sausage and rice. I wouldn't touch the deviled meat and potted meat. I did like Braunschweiger on soda crackers.

I don’t recommend it.
So far I’ve had it fried in a sandwich, uncooked in a sandwich, and fried with an egg for breakfast. Yesterday I was in a hurry for lunch and I threw a slice in the microwave to heat it up for a sandwich. The smell was not pleasant - or appetizeing. I don’t know how something can taste good to OK raw or cooked and smell so bad when merely heated.

I’m thinking cutting a block into about 6 pieces - think square hot dogs - jamming them on sticks and roasting them over a campfire might be interesting.

My grandfather was a house painter. He used to stop by the little shack of a store at the crossroads on his way to a job and get a small box saltines, a 7 once Coke, and a can of “Vy-anna” sausages for lunch. On the days he took me to work with him I got the same lunch and it was a HUGE treat.

Saw this on Facebook… seemed about right.

I forgot about Deviled Ham and Vienna Sausages. We make sandwiches with them and mayo.

Hahahahaha!

I picked up a recipe from this forum a few years back for a chicken dip. It calls for a couple of cans of (yes cans) of chicken...

I made this concoction in a slow cooker and it was the hit of the appetizers at the party we went to.

The canned chicken smelled like cat food. The end product was delicious!
