It’s a specialized combination of pork shoulder, ham and all the salt in the world, but SPAM is iconic since its introduction back in the ’30s. There are dozens of varieties, an actual museum, and one of the best Monty Python sketches in its name, but some folks can’t stomach the canned meat product. To SPAM, or Not To SPAM, that is the question, but it’s a question that may have as much to do with where you’re from as it does with what you like to eat, leading to today’s Sliced Processed Alien Meat query…
The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”) loves the stuff, especially fried in teriyaki sauce, asking: To SPAM or Not To SPAM, That Is The Question!

My wife does not like it, so it’s not in our pantry. End of story.
“Not Me,” a haiku:
Some prefer alternate meats
spiced, potted, aged mushed,
salted, pureed, and molded,
very occasionally i’ll get a wild hair and get a piece of spam musubi with a la carte sushi, or have a hankering for true hawaiian pizza with pineapple and spam, but generally i try to stay away from the stuff.
mmmmmmm fried spam sandwiches……
Not that much anymore. Got enough of our equivalent of that stuff in the military.
