Dice the Spam into cubes about the size of a sugar cube. Do the same thing with white onion and potatoes. Throw the onion and the potatoes in a non-stick pan with a small amount of canola oil or whatever oil you like that can take higher temperatures. Put a lid on the pan and let the onion and potatoes cook. When you see that the onion is turning clear throw in the Spam and turn the heat up a little bit and stir often. Throw some fresh ground pepper in and a little bit of garlic in the last minute or so. Super easy and super cheap and it tastes surprisingly good.
Hawaii's love of spam was because of WW2 and the US Military... It was part of US military rations and it was also used to feed the locals, this is incidentally why spam is also popular in South Korea, all thanks to the US military.
I agree, additionally Spam is easily transported and holds up for a long time. Most islands use ship transported canned food because it is less expensive than an air shipment.
Crispy fried Spam sandwich with mustard on white bread. Goes great with a $1.00 Pabst Blue Ribon at happy hour at Virginia Beach.
SPAM is one of the greatest things ever created. Ranks right up there with Fire!
That was possibly the most epic quote about spam I ever heard.
El Jeffe Taco, wouldn't that mean the chief taco?
Yessssss! I agree. Grew up on it! Like Scrapple made by the Amish in Philadelphia. Wooo Weeeee!
When you made this video 8 years ago we never thought we would be in this situation. NOW, With the current food shortages & insane prices to find episodes on how to use rations is extremely helpful. It's also nice to know we can still have flavor even if we can't get quality ingredients. Much love guys!
I wonder if those cans were 8 years old. LOL
This was literally ALL me and my brother ate when we were kids when my mom couldn't afford any other kind of meat. I actually still eat it now and don't even mind it and think it tastes pretty good.
2:33 - He knew what the struggle was. lmfaoo
…pretty good, it’s delicious!
@@rev.leonidasw.smiley6300 lmao I have some in my cabinet right now, always stays stocked ! Still eat it to this day
Why be so snobby? Spam taste great fried up and is a convenient comfort food.
you prolly dont care but if you guys are stoned like me during the covid times then you can watch pretty much all the latest movies and series on Instaflixxer. Have been watching with my gf these days xD
@Vivaan Lachlan Yea, been watching on instaflixxer for since november myself :)
Love your channel Sam but I'm disappointed that you don't know how great Spam really is. In my Army days when in the field, the only hot meal we could look forward to was breakfast. This was powdered eggs, breakfast potatoes and fried spam. We all joked about it at the time but to this day I still fry up some spam for breakfast at least once a week. it's like comfort food for veterans!
I smile while at the same time I remember. Breakfast delight for me when I was in the army was S.O.S. which (as you know) was called Poop on a shingle. I'm not sure if it was the nickname that turned off so many fellow soldiers, but whenever that was breakfast there was so much leftover that seconds could always be had. I loved it whenever it was served.
My wife grew up eating spam. I hated it for a long time. when I finally came around to eating it, it changed my life lol.
Glad to see you incorporating ingredients that are more affordable but still pack flavor, thank you Sam
I love spam! Great fried with eggs, spam and cheese sandwich with mustard, grilled spam and cheese sandwich. Lots of people love it, has been around for years and years.
Sauté cubed spam til crispy and mix into Kraft macaroni and cheese! Brings me back to tent camping with the kids 40 yrs ago! They loved it and so did my husband and me. The memories are as good as the meal!
Spam is a really good idea for camping simple meals with lots of protein for long hikes, actually quite tasty if you know how to cook it. Nothing nasty about it and it keeps for a long time. Absolutely no reason to be snobby about it.
Bears love its smell too.
My stepdad used to tell me stories of him eating spam sandwiches on his lunch break when he was a telephone lineman back in the 60's. He said they were spam, cheese and mustard sandwiches.
Wow your dad was rich, we only had spam and mustard on white bread. If you were lucky a near by house might have had a hose outside to get a drink
I have only liked it fried on a spam and cheese sandwich with mayo, or fried and served with grits and toast. We ate a lot of it.
My mom used to do this thing where she would cut the spam in 1/4 inch slices almost all the way through the bottom. Then she'd mix brown sugar and mustard and spread it between slices and over the top and bake it. It was so good!
Not a runny egg fan myself, but I would probably just mix the egg like I was making a quiche, pour it over the rice and spam, and bake it.
👍🏾
What a great idea 💡 putting the brown sugar & mustard on the spam. Just like baked ham! Wonderful idea!
The answers to your question, was WWII. Spam became a main staple in that time period due to same issues we see today with the shortages and all. I remember as a kid eating Spam and eggs (in the 70's) because it was quick and easy breakfast/dinner meal for a military family of 4. Thankfully there are videos around on how to make your own since even this is becoming, oddly enough, expensive. I remember when it was less than $1 a can...now a pack of 12 at Sam's or Costco go for better than $20.
Like you said...think of it as a hotdog...just a product in a can and season it with what you have. Enjoying all the vids....even the old content!
What an easy dish, lovin it!
Great episode, I very much enjoyed!
Love the video. People in the Philippines request this for special food in Christmas food packets sent by a charity I support. I have only ever been able to like it sliced thin and fried crisp like bacon. It must have a greater usage than I had ever thought. Thank you, Sam and crew!
Flash back 9 years. Your channel has come a long way but I like the way you were doing this back then. SPAM rocks! and this is a pretty cool recipe, will have to try it.
Best Spam recipe ever is,
Spam
Boiled eggs
Onion
Take it all cut it up (spam and build eggs) and put it through a hand grinder the kind you screw on to the end of the table.
Dice onion really fine
Add mayo
And mix all together
SPAM EGG AND ONION. it's a bit like ham salad but on steroids
I don't know if someone already mentioned considering how long ago this video was made but Hawaii and spam became a thing during World War II. Spam was given to soldiers because it was cheap and shelf stable and in hawaii there was food rationing and food restrictions because of the war and spam was one of the things rationed out. They were worried about supply lines considering the distance from the main land so they hoarded what they could just in case and since spam is basically a meat brick it lasted forever. I heard about this from my Grandfather who was in the pacific with the Army First Cav. It's not just Hawaii though i think other smaller islands in the pacific have that odd relation with spam.
Ok, that’s a classic for Max!! It comes out of the can with a GLOP and Max says, “Geeezus!” LOL!!!
SPiced Ham= Spam. You're welcome.
Sam! We luv ya in Ohio!! DON'T make fun of Spam! The U.S. GOVT. needed a high protein, high fat product to keep our troops "energized" during WW-2. They used Spam! Keep up the good work!!
Love that idea Sam. Im goin to use Spanish Rice. Great breakfast !! thanks !
"It's the stuff you eat when you don't have a whole lot of money."
BASCOOSE ME? A can of spam here costs $4.75. I know this vid was awhile ago but damn Max
Yeah well over here, a year after your comment, it sells for 17 dollars😂
$2.92, US, Michigan
500g / 17 ounces can of pork spam, 1.59€
Thats 2$
Awesome too see you doing this. Started following not that long ago and then this! Great content!
Me too!
Being from the south Fried spam sandwiches were common and were so good.
When I visited Hawaii they made a spam and rice wrapped in seaweed sort of like sushi I can't remember what it was called but it was great!
Musubi
I have a spam face, a grin from ear to ear.........It's miracle food, makes everything better.
rinse, slice, boil with potato's, or place in water in the fridge overnight. Squeeze dry. the eliminates most of th slat. Once fried to a crispy exterior, it tastes like hammy bacon. Love it on a burger, adds just enough "hammines" and salt.
I have had Spam Musubi and it was really good
Slice it as thin as you can and fry it up in a pan til crispy. Good bread and mustard. Magnifique.
I've been wanting to try spam fries. Cut meat into "fingers", dust with flour, dip in egg, then roll in bread crumbs. That rice recipe is interesting. I will put that on my list as well.
I must comment...seven years after...about my escapades with canned meat aka spam. Last one I made was Argentina corned beef in a can, but, in a stand mixer mix the spam, mashed potatoes [fresh or leftover] butter and frozen vegetable of whatever you got in the freezer. Mix, form patties and either fry in a frying pan or bake in the oven. Yummy...you'd never know you started with canned meat
Using the cheese grater grate some fresh potatoe like latkes and mix in before forming patties. Helps hold the patties together with the long strands of fibrous uncooked potatoe.
LOL… I can’t believe I’m correcting you, after all I’ve learned from you… BUT YOU DO NOT ADD SALT TO SPAM! 😱
It’s way salty already, and sometimes people soak their spam in water for 5 to 10 minutes first to pull some of the salt out and reduce the sodium.
But another fun video, nonetheless!
PS. Spam is also popular in Korea for the same reasons it’s popular in Hawaii. Meat is expensive having to be shipped in all the time.
Spam Musubi! One of my favorite
"Hawaiian" treats
Oh, moo-soo-bee.
Take 2 slices of spam, 1/16
to 1/8th inch thick. Fry until
looking just right, then put some
Aloha brand teriyaki sauce in the
pan, simmer until all gone.
Get a slab of sticky rice, 1/2 to
3/4 inch thick, the same shape
as the spam slices. Use the can,
in Hawaii, they have fancy rice
presses, to form the rice, but just
use the can. A piece of spam, on
each side of the rice, and wrap with
teriyaki nori, (Flat seaweed.)
A bit of Aloha brand shoyu, and
it is just great. (Aloha brand IS
a local brand, but the flavor is
NOTHING like the usual stuff.)
steve
Love musubi!!!
SPAM was invented to use the little pieces of meat out of the pork shoulder. They were too small to sell and Hormel was just throwing the shoulder away. So they made meatloaf out of it and cooked it right in the can. Brilliant.
I’m a bit in shock that none of you have ever tried Spam, I thought that almost everybody has had it. It would be interesting to know what percentage of the population has or not. As a octogenarian, I’m guessing that Spam and the cold cut ‘spiced ham’ was a staple for most of us in the 40s and 50s and then began to peter out as we became more affluent. By deserting what was already there, I’m afraid some economic and often great foods went by the wayside. People today seem to prefer spending. Amazing!
I've reported this video to UA-cam as Spam .. ;) hahaha!
😇
In Korea they call it Spamu, and it's a main ingredient in Army Camp Stew. It also come with black pepper, but its kinda hard to find.
I see SPAM (Spiced Ham), the same as I do Bologna. While something you might not serve in a gourmet restaurant, it has it's place in the average middle class home. It's long shelf life and reasonably affordable price while having a generally acceptable flavor means you always can have a good source protein when money gets thin between paychecks.
Grew up on Spam, cuz it was affordable (aside from block ham), now with a family of my own, my kids are into it, especially Spam fried rice and eggs, bbq Spam-wiches, musubi, etc...
Spam Musubi done right is one of the greatest things ever.
Spam became popular in Hawaii and Eastern Asia during the war. (WWII) The soldiers got it in their rations. And it migrated to the civilians . More than likely the soldiers traded it for other things or gave it away. And the Hawaiians and Asian people took a liking to it.
My fav is sliced out of can (no cooking) in a sandwich with Miracle Whip! Yummmmmmmm !
My wife converted when I made crispy SPAM tacos and Hickory SPAM fried egg sandwiches. She now ask for them often. The tip is what you found out...crispy. Easy and quick to make, plus taste. As I understand it, SPAM became a favorite in Hawaiian islands during WW2 when meat was hard to get but the US Military had plenty of this canned meat. Come on Sam, the discussion topic on a food show? The serving would a bit small for a meal. Thanks.
Spam is part of my hurricane preparedness supplies. It’s not bad! It sometimes goes on to the food bank.
Spam, Jalapeño Spam, and Bacon Spam make an awesome base for kimchi fried rice
SPAM was produced as a ration during ww2. Small containment and perfect source of protien and easily packed by a GI on the move. High sodium content for preservation for extended periods of time. Became a mainstay in the 40's because of rationing stateside as well. SOS was made at the MESS HALL with SPAM. when the kitchen was shy on cured chipped beef, they would substitute SPAM.
Needs a part 2
SPAM stands for Special Processed American Meat - developed during WWII to feed the troops meat that wouldn't spoil.
Spam is awesome! I think Spam was the only meat source for Hawaii during WW2. It would not spoil as it’s already cooked and sealed in the can. It would not spoil as it was shipped from the US during the war. Nothing better than Spam, hash browns and biscuits and gravy for breakfast!
It was painful watching Sam trying to get the spam out of the can. I wanted to scream..
..you never had spam? Unamerican. But I still love this show.
He is Canadian. But now American.
He’s Canadian, so I forgive him not knowing about Spam. But after today……
I remember my dad didn't get his payday before Thanksgiving, he brought spam for me and my brother for Thanksgiving and crackers n stuff talking about we need appearicate having family together. I'm like omg 🙄🙄😏😏he beIN so cheap lol
🤨(FOR THE SPAM SNOBS)
Sliced Spam on toast with a fried egg on top. Yummy.
I still love Spam!!! Lol in collage my brother and cousin loved my spamgettie
Love spam .. all the flavors but my fav is Tobasco spam ..!! Try it you’ll like it ..!! 😋 fry it up brown it a bit put between 2 pieces of bread of your choice mustard mayo .. let’s go ..!! Tomato pickles if you like .. yum .. 😋
We here in Hawaii has a Very High cost of living so many families, college students, etc makes SPAM a Variety of ways! It’s very economic if you’re low in cash and it’s very good for our Hurricane Rations Supply. It’s normally best cooked fried in a skillet to a nice crispy edge and added to Anything your mind can Create, when I was in the Army I used to add it to my Split-Pea with Ham can Soup, Recipe: 1half can Spam, 1 can Campbell’s Split-Pea w/Ham soup, 2 packages of (Your Favorite) Ramen w/o the spice (packets), (Optional) 1 cup (your Favorite) Frozen Veggie (I use a Mix-Vegetable),
1). In a skillet preferably a Cast Iron or your Fav. Non-Stick pan, Cut SPAM into small Dices and fry to Browning.
2). In a 4-5 Quart Pot or Sauce Pan place the 1 can Split-Pea Soup and fill that can two times with Water and add to pot and On Med heat. Note: the one Can Soup normally uses one can of water, and the Ramen usually uses about two cups of water, you can adjust thickness of the soup with more or less water.
3). When Soup starts to boil lower heat and Simmer, then add your 2 packages of Ramen to Soup and Cup of Frozen Vegetables into Soup stirring occasionally for about 5 minutes or until Noodles are ready. Serves about 3-4 Soldiers lol.
Original acronym: Shoulder Pork and haM. The British referred to it as Special Processed American Meat.
i love Spam (Deviled Ham, too) and i've been fantasizing about a Hawaiian Bread Pudding, to feature Bacon Spam, Pineapple, Jalapenos, toasted cubed Challah (plain or Raisin) or Brioche or Hawaiian Rolls or a combination thereof, a custard base to soak the bread(s) in, and Hot Honey to drizzle over top. the Spam = cubed & fried in some bacon grease to get a crispy crust all over; fresh chunks of pineapple seared in a grill pan; unseeded jalapenos sliced into 1/4"-thick rings; and possibly some sweet onion, chunked and partially caramelized for ~20ish minutes with bacon grease and balsamic vinegar. the liquid should maybe be Half-&-Half (or half each of Heavy Cream and Whole Milk). sprinkle toasted ground sesame seeds mixed with chopped candied ginger over top and bake at ~325-350F (?) till it smells good enough to eat. (or should the topping wait till it's out of the oven?) and could chopped cilantro leaves and tender stems be mixed in the topping? i've never made it, because i just dreamed it up. but bits and pieces of the recipe have been in the back of my mind for years. i'm feeling the urge to add diced, sauteed eggplant cubes (unpeeled) that were soaked, before being crisped, in a balsamic vinegar + white sugar slurry. finally, mix Bob's Hot Honey + the balsamic vinegar of your choice cooked down into a reduction; drizzle over pudding before serving. or, instead of going the sweet + tangy route, do a tahini-based sauce to drizzle over.
Hmmmm? What an idea! Sounds good
I don’t remember writing this, but I have only one thing to say: Raisin Challah.
This looks fantastic!
I STILL don’t remember writing this, but YUM!!! Raisin challah, no tahini sauce.
Spam is great in Kraft Mac N Cheese if you want to go cheap!
That was cool. Love Spam.
Hi, that wood block on your counter that appears to have knifes and scissors magnetically attached to it; is that a Pirch item??

Hawaii got hooked on Spam because of WWII especially after Pearl Harbor.
27:38 to bypass the vomit/diarrhea story and enjoy the wonderful Spam dish.
SPAM is pork shoulder, water, and salt...It is very versatile.
I realise this is an old video, but I'm in Australia, where spam is absolutely, universally, hated. I personally love it. I am in the minority. In Australia, we don't have "chicken fried" anything. It doesn't exist. However, chicken fried Spam is to die for. You really should try it. I love chicken fried steak. I love chicken fried Spam just as much. Seriously, try it.
Spam is my guilty pleasure! There are hundreds of very delicious ways to prepare it - including Spam Musubi! Don't sleep on Spam.
I can't be the only one who subbed because of spam week. (Spam is just rlly good)
At Christmas time my mum cooks a joint of ham in coke cola.
fried spam and tomato sauce sandwich the best-canned meat ever created
Pocket pool in the intro?lol
Make a hole in the bottom of the can to let the air in and the Spam comes out a little easier, it breaks the vacuum
You can make a lot of friends in Korea with Spam. They really eat that stuff up in Korea.
Spam became Hawaii's main meat during WW2 when getting food supplies to the islands was very difficult
not a fan of SPAM myself, but I buy it for my boyfriend....he loves this stuff I joke and tell him that SPAM stands for Something Posing As Meat LOL He's the reason I am watching this video I need to find other ways to make it for him
Ha! Good one!
I once opened a can of Spam and the meat was grey. In all of 54 years of eating the stuff had gotten a hold of a bad can of Spam. My store replaced it right away after laughing.
Crispy fried Spam sandwich with mustard on white bread.
If not precooked ham it is just pork butt or shoulder. Great for pulled pork.
Spam is your go to when your broke and it's beautiful
Spam is great. lots of possibilities!
got food poisoning 4 or 5 times. one from a mango, then rice, tea(when the lady went eww and spoke chinese should if known something was off), hot pot and cant remenber the last thing.
Grandparents worked for Hormel. It's spiced ham. Part pork butt, part ham.
what rock have these guys been hiding under? They don't know what Spam is. Don't know how to get it out of the can. And they're doing a video to show us how to cook it? No thanks.
You did know this video is 5 years old
Comes with living in California.
@@SigShooter9mm i had this when i was still a kid in late 90's/early 2000's for breakfast lunch and dinner. Anyone who grew up in the struggle know's what this is lmao
My thoughts exactly!!!
Holly hec you have come a long way since then
This is great on hunting trips
spam is popular where the navy and marines went .. not just hawaii but other us territories and korea..lol.. it beat canned ham, tuna and corned beef.....
Try the Turkey Spam roasted for Thanksgiving is very nice and better than the original
Sam the Spam cooking guy. Looks so good!!!
Hawii is home to Pearl Harbor and epam dates from 1939 and was served to GIs and civilans alike.
Sam I want to let you know you make me love being in my kitchen and cooking again
Great job as alwayz.
Spam is awesome, and requires no refrigeration. However, it's nasty cold. You have to give it a crust. Spam with pork and beans.. yum.
Spam Musubi!
Looks great
Great with eggs, everything!!
Can you do Vienna Sausage week?
I LOVE spam..... Especially the Bacon Spam.
Spam tastes better when it's very browned with some light char on it lol.
Sam needs to revisit the Spam
Spam is awesome. My kids love it. I'm a fan of jalapeño spam
