    The odd thing to me is that SPAM was sort of considered a "poor man's meat," back in the day. But even at $4 it would be $5.33 per pound. Even if we said the generic ones were $2.50, that would be $3.33 per pound. Higher than a pound of ground beef, fresh chicken thighs, or even pork steaks per pound. A poor man now would be wise to avoid SPAM due to cost alone. lol

The great value’s texture firms up when fried on both sides and is delicious for around 1/2 the price as spam I will buy great value every time. For all you prep people you can actually double up your stock with great value for around 1/2 the price of spam and I do not think you will be disappointed.

    I can not forget the occasions when my GrandMother put spam on the dinner table and my Grandparents would retell how things were during WW2. Note that GrandMother still had the remainder of her ration stamps in the family trunk "ready for next time." I do not like these high-sodium, high-fat products. I do keep a few cases on the shelf for emergency because it does store well. The one type of spam I find truly hideous is the tocino flavor. I have no idea if that one is available in the US. Our young troops consider it a big treat and constantly ask for it.

    This would have been a great video if you'd taken your time and cooked them all as if you were going to serve them. Put a camera on something for a timelapse. Exactly how much fat cooks out as they are browned. Texture once browned on both sides. Taste is subjective but anyone who has cooked their favorite canned meat much would _see_ the differences in others. I'd suggest doing it again but it's probably not a good idea for you or the dogs.

    • @OliveDrabAlliance

I kind of just needed an arena for this battle. While I was filming this, I thought the same thing. There is a point in the video when I flip a piece over and you can see how I panned away. Long story short... I hate the Blackstone.
