[svandamme]

"Spam was one of the few meats excluded from the British food rationing that began in World War II and continued for a number of years after the war, and the British grew heartily tired of it, hence the sketch."


"Spam is mentioned in the Camelot scene of Monty Python and the Holy Grail, where the Knights of the Round Table sing that they "eat ham and jam and Spam a lot". Spam-a-lot also became the name of the Monty Python musical based on the film, to both reference the "Spam a lot" lyric in the original film and Monty Python's SPAM affiliation."
