I can't lie I buy spam. My grandmother had a wonderful recipe for ham spread, which called for spam. It makes a wonderful sandwich in the summertime when it's hot with a little slice of cheese and a little piece of lettuce.
I lived in Austin, MN - home of Hormel. Home of Spam. And the Spam Museum.
Dreadful place. Horrible people. I think it's all that salt.
I have loved Spam since the day I came home from school and my mother had a Spam pizza ready for me: she took a slice of white bread, put some canned pizza sauce on it, topped that with a slice of Spam and then sprinkled canned parmesan cheese over it. Popped that sucker into the toaster oven and she was the greatest mother alive!
If you are of a certain age...okay, if you're old like I am, you'll remember that the old tins of Spam had a key on the bottom that you bent off and attached to a tab on the side of the can to open it. It was safer than the sharp piece of metal that's exposed with the new ring pull tab. A blast from the past! Thanks Ricky
Milleson - You're welcome.

This kind of "Spam" has always been good to me. Heck my Mom would fry it up and we would have it with mac and cheese.
I have some now in the fridge, always great for a quick sandwich, and when I'm not lazy I will fry it up with a couple of sunny side up fried eggs.
Thanks Rick!!
Oh, I forgot!
I gave my mom a Spam Musubi recipe. She lost it, so I made her this YouTube video.

Scott - It's so versatile!
Steve - Thank you for that video! So much fun!
That can of Spam is 3.07 miles down!
Why hasn't imploded from the pressure?
ChrisA - That's a good question.
Try Spam sushi some time. A thin slice is flame broiled (sometimes with a blowtorch!), then placed on top of the formed rice and a bit of Wasabi. It is really good!
JDH - I agree with you.
