You can slice it as thin or as large as you want. Because of the texture it is easy to slice with a knife,(it's so soft I could use a spoon).
☺HOW I HAVE EATEN IT:
I make a sandwich with Mayonnaise on one side of the bread and Mustard on the other side. I put the Spam on the mustard side and ... more
What would a Jewish Lady know about SPAM, (it's made from pork and ham & Religious Jewish people wouldn't even touch the can).
I don't keep Kosher, (that means follow the Laws of not eating any part of a pig), so why I know about this processed meat product.

You open the top of the can with a key. I'm so clumsy I have often broken the key before I get the can open. They I use a can opener. Why didn't I do this to begin with? Because I'm a dummy.
The meat slides out of the can easily. You will see a bit of yellow fat on it. I take it off with a knife and pretend I'm cutting calories.
The meat looks similar to something you'd feed a Dog or a Cat. Please don't do that. It does look quite bad but it tastes very good.
The texture is like jelly. When I first tasted Spam I could last the lard, pepper, salt and paprika. I could not smell anything.

☺HOW I HAVE EATEN IT:
I make a sandwich with Mayonnaise on one side of the bread and Mustard on the other side. I put the Spam on the mustard side and add a leaf of lettuce. Then I cover this with the Mayo side of the bread.
I have fried it and made a hot sandwich the same way I made a cold one.
I have chopped it up and made hash, (Spam, cold boiled potatoes and a slice of cooking onion). I fry it and put a poached egg on top of it.
I have fried it and used it as a side dish with fried eggs.
☹THE BORING THINGS THAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:
* My Source: "Too Easy Gourmet", (The World's 1st non-Fiction Cookbook).
"In a 1 oz slice there are 53.9 Calories, 3.9 grams of fat and 0.4 grams of Carbohydrate.
In a 2oz serving there are 107.5 calories, 7.8 grams of fat and 0.8 grams of Carbohydrate."
This means Spam isn't a great thing to eat often.
☐OTHER TYPES OF SPAM:
You can also buy Spam in SPAM Oven Roasted Turkey, SPAM Smoke Flavored, SPAM Lite and SPAM Less Sodium.
☺SOME JOKES:
I heard a lot of Comedians have used it their jokes and here are a few of them:
"Spam is Slime Posing As Meat. Spam doesn't kill people it outlives them. Spam is for me and I love to eat it with a side of crunchy frog."
♪MY FINAL THOUGHTS:
I know this is not healthy to eat but if you use it once in a while as a treat I do suggest you try it. I pay $1.50 CAD for a can.
I just found out that the Harmel Company has taken some Computer Companies to Court for calling "junk mail", SPAM.

...inspect my saucer, why, the spam just isn’t there.
I’ve tried to drop a gentle hint, and even give a nudge
But owners’ preconceptions are just something you can’t budge.
I’ve pressed on the remote control to turn to Monty P
But even with the Spam sketch on, they just refuse to see.
I’ve checked their checkout tickets, to see if it’s the price
That stops them pushing out the boat. They’re usually too nice
To be cost-conscious with their pets, ... ...that would elicit some nice spam for me to eat;
But I’d rather it were offered with willingness and grace,
And then I’d know that all was well, and owners knew their place. When there’s a challenge to be met, some catterel to be writ,
The wongo is the character to show his feline grit.
And so with spam, eventually, I hope that it will be
That humans will see sense at last and offer some to me. ...

...of beef jerky. Spam is an honourable exception.
I wouldn't, it's true, have difficulty - in, say, a blindfolded doorstep taste challenge - in differentiating between, on one platter, a roast leg of pork lightly dusted with paprika and cayenne, and, on the other, a side of boiled spam. But sometimes - who cares? Who can taste the beef in a Big Mac? The bacon in smoky bacon crisps? And only a crazed maniac would argue that these are not among our ... ...do want you to know: SPAM is NICE. Really. It's expensive, of course (£1.50-ish for a good-sized tin)- but good things ARE expensive. The moral of this is this: processed food may not be full of goodness (and may be full of all manner of unpleasant surprises) but sometimes, just sometimes, it does you good. Forget your arteries. I'm talking about your soul. ...

Advantages: taste, texture Disadvantages: very unhealthy
When I was a kid my mum used to make Spam fritters but not had them for years but I spotted these in Tesco and thought I\'d give them a whirl.
What Is Spam?
Basically Spam is just choppedpork and ham which has been seasoned. It use to be known as Spiced Ham but the owner\'s of the company who produce it (Homel Foods) thought it eeded a catchier name and one of their bright sparks came up with Spam. It was invented by Jay Homel in 1936. It can be eaten straight from the can or heated up. And it has a long shelf life.
It wasn\'t sold in the UK until 1941 and during rationing Spam was a favourite for the British (despite being German).

Advantages: Really tasty, quite cheap, easy to find Disadvantages: Lots of salt, hard to cook without frying yourself
, dad and brother would be back about 9.00pm, so I set about starting to get the tea on at about 8 o'clock. It takes me ages to peel spuds and mum won't let me make the Smash I love to eat when it comes to cooking for the whole family, so I was forced to peel a lot of potatoes! My fingers were sore and I peeled a great pan of them and put them on to boil. I opened a tin of mushy peas (as we had no frozen ones left) and had closer look at the Spam Fritters.
As soon as I opened the cellophane wrapper I could smell the lovely choppedham and pork - the familiar smell of Spam!! Mmmmm?.. The fritters themselves are about six inches by about 2 inches in size and are coated in a lovely batter. The ingredient list said that each fritter has 221 calories and has a fairly massive amount of salt in each one - 2g of salt, which is the equivalent ...

Advantages: Tinned meat is always useful to have in the cupboard Disadvantages: Far too much pepper
Introduction
Since it was the Bank Holiday weekend, I decided that it would be better to buy some tinned meat rather than fresh for my partner's pack up for work. Lucky man had four days off while I had to go to work. Anyway he had been bugging me to buy him the new limited edition Spam with Black Pepper.
The Product
It comes in 340g tins and cost £1.59. Rather than those silly key things that you use to open the tin it has a ring pull on the lid, which you can peel back, however after I got the ring pull up I could not pull the lid off and it took my partner a few attempts as well.
The tin has a blue background with the words SPAM written in big yellow letters. It states on the tin that it is choppedpork and ham and is 90% meat. It even has a serving suggestion on the back of the tin. The recipe says ...
