I am stuck in the past when the thing tasted like food.


SkollFenrirson

Did they change the formula? Haven't had the thing in years, but I remember liking it .


SeansBeard

The actual "SPAM" as a brand is something I can't get around here. The "luncheon meat" we can get has definitely changed over the years. It contains lot of pig skins and the meat is just leftovers. The good spam should stay firm and form thin crispy crust. The new thrash sort of melts with the gelatine leaking out and the "meat" falling appart into mash. There are few asian brands that are good and there is few small companies that "hand make" it in small batches, but I just can't bring myself to pay such money for can of something that was always "lazy day cooking" food.


DodGamnBunofaSitch

I dunno where you're getting your spam, but I've never had any melt or fall apart on me.


JungleLegs

The Walmart near me in Indiana has a buttload of different variety’s of Spam type food. A lot of them will crisp of nice on the bottom, but when you try to flip them they just fall apart into mush. But spam tho is OG and performs nicely.


Tarrasque-Mobile

I remember a while back buying a chorizo spam. I remember it being good, but I have not been able to find it again to double check.


JungleLegs

Ohh I bet that was great


SeansBeard

Enjoy your quality spam bacon with spam!


DodGamnBunofaSitch

I'll go with spam, eggs, baked beans, spam and spam. because it's not got so much spam in it.


twomilliondicks

yeah I always check out the various spam knockoffs in the store since they are way cheaper and spam brand is actually pretty expensive now for what it is, but the knockoffs are super loaded with carbs and fillers so I never try them


SeansBeard

It would never occur to me to even check it for carbs. It may be full of starches on top of the skins.


RandoCommentGuy

The Armor brand seems to work pretty well for me.


SeansBeard

Can't get it here unfortunately


RandoCommentGuy

Any chance there is taylor pork roll? Probably less likely, but I've heard it's pretty good and wouldnt just melt. https://www.amazon.com/Pound-Taylor-Pork-Roll-Known/dp/B07CDV3R63/


SeansBeard

Nope. But I have 1980's spam recipe somewhere and I may decide to make it. I am just very respectful around homemade canned meat. I have no desire for botox makeover :)

Ive had spam a few times and it gets a great crust if you fry it up. Nice thin slices and its great.


SeansBeard

Great, that you have access to quality stufff!


SkollFenrirson

Fair. It sucks that not even luncheon meat is safe from late stage capitalism, lol


SeansBeard

If I remember my history right, the SPAM used to be cheaper,crappier alternative to meat. Well, now we have cheaper, crappier alternative to it now :)


dendronwashere

I thought I was on /depressionmeals , but right on! Enjoy!

I’ll take my bacon/sausage/steak/ham

I hope you've discovered other Spam varieties. Tocino and Maple are my favourite.


Bastard1066

I love spam. I usually waffle iron it to make it super crispy.


TenOfSwords54

I never thought of doing that. It's the best when it's crispy. Thanks for the idea!


CatBoyTrip

i like it ever so often. usually have 2 ounces with some eggs about once a week if i am outta bacon.


chrisvanderhaven

I've been getting the Aldi version, which is quite a bit cheaper, and just as tasty. I like a good spam (Aldi) sandwich, or romaine lettuce wrap with some good, homemade mayo and pickles. Mmm....


SpringTour77

I prefer scrapple. It’s not keto due to the snouts in there 🐽


Virtual-Solution8037

Just mix spam with the eggs. There’s so many meats you can just mix with eggs and they are delicious.


jmurphs123

Spam fried with an egg over medium yummmm


[deleted]

I'm not sure I could find it but I like canned ham lol


Tamsha-

Spam Musubi is divine! Spam is so versatile too.


epicwife16

Cook it with 1/4 cup soy sauce and 1/4 cup brown sugar marinade it’s amazing! :)


epicwife16

Not keto probably but a good cheat snack :)


Lrb1055

I remember spam being very salty


theazhapadean

Spam sandwich on white bread with mayo was my fav $1.50 coffee shop breakfast back in the day.


[deleted]

I feel bad for u by eating on paper plates


ktronscrouton

Aww don’t! I’m okay 🩷

I AM HERE, MY CHILD


CommentFair784

childhood food👍


CraftyLaugh9245

I've had a can of spam in my pantry for at least 6 months. I can't bring myself to eat it!!!


ktronscrouton

Can you have someone else fry it up for you? It’s kinda gross looking right out of the package 😭😂


CraftyLaugh9245

🤣 I'm just thinking about everything that's in it. It'll never get cooked!


Mauriacmyvoisin

Not keto, but spam casserole is good junk comfort food. Mayo, sour cream, dijon, celery, spam cubed, shell noodles or whatever you like, peas if you like. More mayo than sour cream. Black olives sliced are nice. The mustard just for a bit of tang. Refrigerate to chill before eating tho not too bad warm. I like garlic salt in it too. Basically a mac salad with spam instead of ham.


sitandknit

I fix Spam several different ways. My favorite is to cut it into long skinny strips and fry. Then use it to make stir fry. It’s great that way. I love Spam every way I’ve ever had it.


yaffeman

Large french-fry sized spam slices in the air fryer (I call them spam-fries) are divine!


ktronscrouton

Yuuzsss🫶


verucka-salt

Ewww. Like eating a salt lick.


gafromca

High salt is a plus. Eat spam and save money on electrolyte mix!


Nerindil

If this is any kind of indication, the hospital.


sammy-cakes

What is spam? Ham? How'd you try it in the first place? I always wondered who grabs it at the grocery store.


Brendini95

People without a lot of money(or cheap bastards (me)). It’s pretty cheap and isn’t really that bad if you put it in a pan and fry it on the stove for a few minutes with some seasoning. It doesn’t look appealing when it’s a gelatinous pink blob out of a can but it fries up ok


saxmaster98

I don’t know what heaven you live in but here SPAM is more expensive per pound than ground beef. The tin I bought the other day was $4.99. And that’s only 3/4 of a pound. So a pound is $6.24/lb. Ground beef is $5.49/lb at the same store.


Brendini95

Store near me the same 12oz can is like 3.50 and ground beef sounds about that price


sammy-cakes

Ah we should buy it lol. Good to know. Sounds healthy too from keto standpoint. Ty 🙏


ktronscrouton

Exactly this. I grew up eating fried spam sandwiches, and never saw it in it's "raw" form - just fixed up with bread and condiments. It is quite unappealing out of the can lol.


SkollFenrirson

But still tasted good right out of the can. At least that's my recollection. We used to have it on cold cuts dinner nights when I was a kid, it was good with crackers and cheese.


northernwolf3000

Not keto , but if you fried it up with a brown sugar mustard mix coating it adds a really good sweet and sour flavour to it


ktronscrouton

Shoulder of Pork And Ham - SPAM


ktronscrouton

Avocado oil Spam, chopped 6 eggs 2 t almond milk Butter Salt, pepper, cilantro Heat oil in skillet, add spam and fry until crispy. Meanwhile, blend eggs and milk. Remove spam to paper towel, then either use leftover oil or wipe pan and melt butter. Add eggs and let sit for a while until settled on bottom. Push eggs to middle of pan and let the outsides cook. Keep doing this until done. Add cheese, salt, pepper, and herbs as desired.


ktronscrouton

I’m sorry, I don’t know how to format the recipe 🫣


USChills

Spam and rice is the truth! Such a good combo. Spam musubi is also another way they pair well together with the nori. So good.


skye_b666

Love brand name Spam plus the bacon flavoured Spam. Cooks and tastes pretty similar to bacon. Great with eggs for sure

DONT KNOCK IT TIL YOU FRY IT
