Ugh. Although I have to laugh at ‘Another Spam Casserole’.

But look at all those Okra recipes! Mmmm, okra.

FDB, they do some pretty fancy tuna in cans these days. Purple Goddess, I think you should try SPAM. Yes. In the interests of culinary roundness. Speaking of military provisions, go and have a look at this to see just what quality fare the poor old troops are ingesting these days.

I confess, I’ve never knowingly eaten SPAM® … but given my mother’s penchant for cooking with weird and dodgy ingredients, I may have ingested it unknowingly. Possibly in combination with a tin of pulped pineapple and some dehydrated Suprise carrots and peas….

Should I try it as a dare?, to round out my culinary experiences?

In other news, I have given you an “I love your blog” award, over at AGITK. Check it out, darl.

Calling him by the old-school ‘h’ word probably gives you a clue – he probably got a taste for it during the American occupation post WW2…

Yes, I think that’s the point. It’s a tin/ration/extreme circumstances kinda thing. If you’ve ever tried any army rations you’re not seriously likely to recommend them as a regular-civilian-edible alternative. But having said that, I must confess that my husband (a Sicilian who oughta know better) used to love Spam (and possibly still sneaks it when I’m not around…)

“In Khrushchev Remembers, Khrushchev credited SPAM for keeping the Soviet Army alive during the War.”
