LOL...I lived in Hawaii for a few years and Spam was on the menu in most restaurants there..highest per capita consumption. Some tasty recipes as i recall

[sagedil]

Dates back to WWII. Given all the issues, food shipments were a bit of a problem. Government airlifted tons of Spam to Hawaii.

From Wikipedia....

The residents of the state of Hawaii and the territories of Guam and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) consume the most Spam per capita in the United States. On average, each person on Guam consumes 16 tins of Spam each year and the numbers at least equal this in the CNMI. Guam, Hawaii, and Saipan, the CNMI's principal island, have the only McDonald's restaurants that feature Spam on the menu. Burger King, in Hawaii, began serving Spam in 2007 on its menu to compete with the local McDonald's chains.[12][13]

In Hawaii, Spam is so popular it is sometimes dubbed "The Hawaiian Steak".[14] It is traditionally reheated (cooked), resulting in a different taste from Spam eaten by many Americans on the mainland, who may eat Spam cold.[15] One popular Spam dish in Hawaii is Spam musubi, in which cooked Spam is combined with rice and nori seaweed and classified as onigiri.[16]

Spam was introduced into the aforementioned areas, in addition to other islands in the Pacific such as Okinawa and the Philippine Islands, during the U.S. military occupation in World War II. Since fresh meat was difficult to get to the soldiers on the front, World War II saw the largest use of Spam. GIs started eating Spam for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. (Some soldiers referred to Spam as "ham that didn't pass its physical" and "meatloaf without basic training".)[17] Surpluses of Spam from the soldiers' supplies made their way into native diets. Consequently, Spam is a unique part of the history and effects of U.S. influence in the Pacific.[18]

The perception of Spam in Hawaii is very different from that on the mainland. Despite the large number of mainlanders who eat Spam, and the various recipes that have been made from it, Spam, along with most canned food, is often stigmatized on the mainland as "poor people food". In Hawaii, similar canned meat products such as Treet are referred to as "poor people Spam".

I love Spam. Fried's my favorite way to eat it.

Wow! For some reason, I just totally enjoyed that Spam tutorial. Awesome. That, coupled with lxskllr's comment really makes me want to fry up up a slice. Thanks, Mr. Sage. And my condolences on your recent loss.

This.

And if it's on top of a fried egg with some toast, even better. Unfortunately, it seems to have risen in price the last time I noticed; I thought Spam was poor man's food...

[sagedil]

Although I have been out of the habit for a few months, when I was losing 15 pounds a few months ago doing a high protein/high fat/calorie restricted diet, Spam and eggs was my big meal each day. I really fell in love with the spam fried all up, even better than Bacon.

I had never had it before (Just not something you eat in Beverly Hills I guess)


But I met a guy last year who had been in the service and he raved how good it was with egg and cheese. And he was right!!

This was my prefered method of spam while living in Hawaii. A local handed me one the first day I landed. It's called a Smam Musubi.

That looks interesting. Is the Spam cooked, or raw? I guess that's sushi rice and seaweed with it?

Edit:

It's cooked. Sticky rice and seaweed is correct. It's also available in hot dog or chicken form.

That looks kind of good. I know my daughter would love it. I might try making something like that myself :^)

Every time I hear or see the word "Spam", I get that Monty Python song in my head and it stays there for hours.
Spam, spam, spam, spam . . . . . etc.

Thanks, guys! :lol:
