When I got my first apartment in 1978 a friend gave me a can of Spam so I would never be hungry and always have something to eat. I still have that can.
we didn't have much money growing up. So my dad would get a cab or two of spam and cutting up into bite-size pieces fry in a pan until it was crispy. Then he would add a can of corn kernels and a small bottle of picante sauce... It was actually pretty good😊
I'm from Hawaii and SPAM is my JAM love love love it! Could eat it everyday all day long ;) Spam can be put in anything. I love spam on my saimen/ramen noodles. I love spam in my fried rice. I love spam and egg sandwiches for breakfast with a bit of mayo. I of course love spam musubi. You can teriyaki the spam and make it more sweet. spam also can be put in pancit. Loads of different dishes. Anything you use bits of ham or bacon on/with can be substituted with Spam :D
Brian Landers Tons of cultures eat pigs feet and brains. In the American South, for example, you can find pigs feet in any grocery store. Most young people won't touch it, but the older generations will.
This was very interesting to watch, we bought a whole variety of spam in our local supermarket and also from Our recent trip to Hawaii. We found some interesting flavors like teriyaki, cheese and spicy! You'll definitely enjoy the spam musubi better than straight out of the can. Spam is good cut up I to small pieces in fried rice and also makes a rather good soup stock because it's so salty. Enjoy!!!
I like to microwave a couple of slices of Spam and then dice them and put them in macaroni and cheese. The cheese really neutralizes the salt and it makes the whole thing taste pretty good (in my opinion).
I eat mine with mac and cheese as well but I have to have my spam fried up nice and crunchy. I like a little cucumber with it to get rid of the salty taste. Like her, I like the bacon the best.
When I was a kid we used to slice it thin and fry it so it had the same crunch as extra crispy bacon, and always paired it with macaroni and cheese and fried diced potatoes. Thinking about it that setup is a dietitian's worst nightmare lol but we only had it maybe 3 times a year if that and always during the summer.
Oh it tastes so much better when you put it on the pan until it’s golden. We ate rice and seaweed with spam all the time in Hawaii, It’s a traditional Hawaiian dish!
My Dad loved it fried with eggs on the weekend but I always rinsed it, sliced it and boiled it in about 1/2 in. of water in the skillet for 5-10 minutes to remove some of the salt/fat then simply pan friend it like bacon. The boiling makes a world of difference and was much better for his blood pressure.
My best friend is Samoan. She makes spam musubi for family get-togethers and parties, and she always boils it first, too. I'd never heard of that. We had spam sometimes when I was growing up and always ate it fried with eggs and toast at breakfast. I really liked it, but I don't mind salt. I definitely think it's best when served with something like eggs or rice, etc. as opposed to by itself.
Spam musubi is also my favorite. I marinade it in brown sugar and soy sauce and some water before I fry it for the musubi. Another one is to put spam and pineapple in a grill, cook it up, and put it on a burger Bun with some lettuce and maybe mayo. Last one. Dice spam, make a scramble with it and eggs, throw it on a tortilla and add cheese and salsa. Military men in WWII actually got different slam than commercially. It was greasier and saltier. They used the grease as gun lubricant and to waterproof boots. They hated it and this poem was infamous. “For breakfast they will fry it; For supper it is baked; For dinner it goes delicate - They have it pat-a-caked. Next morning it’s with flapjacks, Or maybe powdered eggs - For God’s sake where do they get it? It must come in by kegs. Oh, surely for the evening meal They’ll cook up something new! But the cooks they are uncanny, Now the Spam is in the stew. And thus the endless cycle goes; It never seems to cease - There’s Spam in cake and Spam in pie And Spam in rancid grease.”
I absolutely love SPAM Fried Rice! Just substitute SPAM for the meat you would normally use. I add frozen veggies to the mix for a fast and easy meal. SPAM musubi is also a favorite. It's especially good to fry the SPAM as you would for musubi and then lay it on a bed of rice and scrambled eggs for breakfast. My favorite breakfast!
When I was little my grandma used to fry original spam in a pan with some maple syrup. Surprisingly it is pretty good (as good as spam can be) it was the salty sweet combination 😛
My guilty pleasure is a spam sandwich (cut thin and fried) on toasted white bread with cheese (bonus 'Murica points if it's american cheese or velveta) with mustard, lots of mayo, and potato chips. I haven't had one in years... You should try it!
But how do the potato chips (I'm assuming you mean what we call "crisps" in Europe and not actual fried sliced potatoes) work ON the sandwich? Don't they just crumble and add a ton of saltiness? :O
I love how unpretentious and honest you are with your reviews so many people give in to memes rather than just giving an honest reaction. This is why you're great. I will recommend you to everyone because you're so great.
Born and raised in Minnesota... the home of Hormel and SPAM, so what did I eat growing up? A lot of SPAM! I gave up eating red meat a bunch of years ago (nothing religious... just a mammal thing) and my three biggest losses were Pepperoni, Original SPAM and White Castle "Beef" Hamburgers (I also grew up with them). Fortunately for me Hormel makes Turkey Pepperoni which has less grease than traditional, and while most restaurants don't serve it, I make my own pizza at home typically and load it up! Hormel started making Turkey SPAM a number of years ago and it's now my treat about once a year. Last month I made my first ever Musubi with it and it was excellent. White Castle? There's a new one here on the Las Vegas Strip, but too much hassle to get to and I've never had their Turkey burger version of sliders, and don't know that I want to. Just give me Turkey SPAM (and pepperoni)! Emmy - Thanks always for your videos!
Emmy I have just recently started watching your videos and I cannot express how much your videos help me be happy. Your personality is amazing thank you so much!
When I was younger we didn't really have money, and they would give us tons of spam at the local church. We always took it out of the can, sliced it kind of thick and then put it two slices of it on a piece of bread, then put mayo on another slice of bread, then sandwich them together. I loved it sooo much.
I don't know why I love these videos so much... I hate being around people while they eat! I won't even eat out at a restaurant. But Emmy could spend an hour boiling water and I would watch it.
hey emmy, i'm from guam and spam is sssuuuperrrr popular here. (average per capita consumption is 16 tins per person per year!) we eat it fried, in musubi, or as spam kelaguen. to make spam kelaguen (from ChamoritaMomma's Kitchen) 1 can of spam (preferably hot n spicy) 1/2 cup of chopped onions 1/4 cup of chopped green onions 6-8 FRESH key limes or calamansi (amount can be altered to ur liking) salt, to taste hot peppers or pepper flakes mash the spam, add in the onions and green onions, then squeeze in the lime/calamansi juice. sprinkle in salt and hot peppers or flakes. can be served with fresh titiya (another local dish), crackers, chips, or over rice :) enjoy!!
I'm a Spam fan. I don't eat it much, but I always keep a couple cans in the pantry. It's great to have around for emergencies. When the expiration date is approaching, then I treat myself and buy another. I'll either fry it and have it with mustard, or just have it sliced thin on bread as a quick sandwich. That's probably my favorite way of eating it, just sliced thin on white bread. It seems to counter some of the saltiness. An interesting side note: Spam was the very first item I learned to cook when I was a kid. I was watching my younger brothers and there was a recipe on the can for how to make a mustard glaze and then bake it. So I tried it. I was maybe 14 or 15, and it was the first thing I actually learned how to cook. I'm now the primary cook in my household.
while stationed on Guam and Hawaii, i learned to like spam, I use it a quiche, like cheese, broccoli, or spinach, add the spam and no need to do any salt, i dice it up to use.
I'm from Malaysia and what my mom use to do with spam is slice it super thinly and almost looking like shredded carrots and fry it on low heat until it's all crispy and eat it with rice congee with some spring onions! It's the best!!! And my childhood meal right there! Please try it!
My family was pretty broke growing up so we ate a lot of cheap dinners my mom could throw together really quick at the end of the day (Both parents working very hard and raising three kids). One of our favorite "treat" dinners was Original Kraft Mac n Cheese with fried Spam and green peas. They always start separate on the plate but you slowly start to mix them together and oooooh so good. Childhood on a plate for me.
When we kind of took some time in our family, as a child my mom would cook rice and fried ‘meat’. So after many years of calling it fried meat, I tried fried spam and rice with my friends and it tasted the same. Mother, you lied to meeeeee.
My daughters love when I make fried noodles with Spam (I use the low sodium version). Blanched ramen noodles, thinly sliced onions, thinly sliced cabbage, bean sprouts, thinly sliced carrot, cubed Spam. Season with either the seasoning pack from the ramen or a shoyu, sugar, mirin mixture. You can also add scrambled egg to it or a fried egg to top each serving. With love from Hawaii...we know our Spam (every year there is a festival in Waikiki called the Spam Jam. Look it up and I'm sure you will find a ton of recipes using Spam).
There is nothing you can really do to spam to screw it up lol. fry it or added it to salads for a meaty flavor or even make spam salad. toss it into mac and cheese My favorite was the BBQ spam but they do not make that anymore so just fry it in some hickory smoked bbq sauce or fry it and dip it in sauce. My dad was military so he like everyone else got paid once a month and well we had a lot of interesting spam dishes we got creative with. Oh and canned treet too lol and I will still make spam just quick, simple and all in all good I think.
I didn't have Spam in my house (in Hawaii) until a hurricane hit &it was donated to us. It has saved us countless times. We use the low-sodium, low-fat version and in dishes that tend to have lots of veggies. Spam musubis are the exception, but that's why it's got a big mound of rice!
When I was a kid in the early 70's, one of the ways my Mother used to prepare Spam was to grate it with a cheese grater (actually a Salad Master but most people don't know what that is) on the finest setting and then blend with mayo and other ingredients to make "ham" salad sandwiches. It was just like ham salad they sold in the stores or at restaurants but on the cheap. It was great to take camping because it didn't require refrigeration. Spam used to be the poor mans ham but inflation and novelty have driven prices way up. There was even a lower cost knock off to Spam called Treet made by Armour Meat Company. Both are a "spiced ham" but Treet was half the cost and half the flavor. We were a Spam house but I will say I have' tasted it in years!
i love spam! i cut it into little pieces, fry it and mix it into my mac and cheese ! you should try that! much better than just plain spam. although i devour that too.
Little bit of garlic powder, little bit of cayenne, few spoons of brown sugar, mix it all together, rub it on the side of thinly slice spam, pan fry until carmelized, near the end add a healthy squirt of Baby Ray's BBQ sauce, mix that till they're all nice and coated and cook for another minute or two until that sauce turns into a thick, sweet, delicious tar. Pop those onto a piece of bread with cheese and lettuce, maybe mayo, and scrape the sauce overtop, then add your other piece of bread. Pan fry it to make crispy if you like
I'm part Guamanian and while growing up on the island we would make Spam Kelleguin which is similar to a ceviche. The lime juice a heat from the chillies really helps cut the salt. I really recommend it. I can't take the salt content either and I grew up on the stuff.

Hi, Emmy: Being from South Texas, I was trained from an early age to like the saltiness/savory aspect in conjunction with a hot cereal such as Cream of Wheat, Malt-O-Meal or even oatmeal (steel-cut oats are a favorite) that has been heavily sweetened with anything from white, granulated sugar to maple syrup, depending upon your preference. My Dad's and my favorite was Cream of Wheat made with milk, no water and finished with a generous pat of salted butter and very generously sprinkled with granulated white sugar. Just dip the slice into the sweet, thick cereal and enjoy. The trick is to slice it very thin (very much like how you sliced it in your video) and frying it until a very crisp and dark golden crust is achieved but the meat product is still toothsome and pink in the middle. I would suggest frying your next slices (I agree the 25% less sodium is our favorite) and folding the hot, crisp meat in a single slice of fresh, soft, white sandwich bread. This is called, in my family, "a fold over" and the best way to enjoy it is dipped into the creamy, orange yolk of a free-range, over-medium fried egg. Follow that bite with a generous sip of fresh, cold, whole cow's milk and it's like you're at my family's kitchen table. Enjoy!
(✿◠‿◠)/ ♥ Just had the regular spam growing up. I don't eat pork anymore, so I only buy the turkey. My mother use to make us spam sushi, with spinach and eggs. It was so good! :D
Ramen with egg and green onion? Wow. That's so weird. Long ago, my mom used to make us Chinese noodles with a chopped hard-boiled egg, sliced green onion, and a bit of soy sauce and broth. We loved it, but I always wondered where in the world she came up with that recipe. The closest she ever got to Chinese food was a small town restaurant which, undoubtedly, never served noodles with egg and green onion.
(✿◠‿◠)/ ♥ My mother's from Okinawa, Japan. I think green onion is a norm, she used it in all her dishes. She use to cut hot dogs in half and slice them on the ends to make octopuses, too. A mother's love.. ♥ She spoiled me, I won't eat anyone else's fried rice or egg rolls. LOL
Emmy, I have always LOVED Spam, but I have never eaten it uncooked. My sons grew up eating it in sandwiches, macaroni & cheese, omelets, quiche, browned with garlic in olive oil over spaghetti. No need to add salt to any dish! My favorite flavors now are Teriyaki, Hickory Smoked, & Jalapeno - fried crispy brown & served on toasted whole wheat bread with mayo, spicy brown mustard, swiss cheese, sliced tomato, & raw spinach. Served with Lay's Dill Pickle Potato Chips, it's my new "Comfort Food." ;-) I also LOVE your Taste Tests!
Since she is so used to eating plain seasoned food, I would say that's a big deal for her 😂😂 and she didn't serve with breads or rice etc, which made it taste 10x better💕
Nothing wrong with salt if your body doesn't mind it. I love salty foods (and Spam), and no matter how much salt I intake, it doesn't seem to impact my health.
+Knigasera ummm please go to a nutritionist, high salt intakes are not good for anyone's health it can lead to alot of health problems including high blood pressure
I used to think Spam was horrendous as a kid, but I was starving at my bachan's house one day and it was kind of all she had. I ended up leaving it in the pan a bit too long, but that extra crisp was all it took to make me fall in love with it. I put it on top of ramen, I put it in fried rice, I put it in egg and cheese sandwiches, Spam musubi, etc. The hot and spicy version is my favorite; it tones down the saltiness and gives a more earthy, vinegary flavor of Tabasco sauce.
Best Spam sammich: Thick white toast, 4 thinly sliced & fried regular/salt reduced spam, thinly sliced tomato, cucumber & pickles, and mayo and/or cream cheese for the spread. Fried egg and/or tobasco optional but recommended.
I make a sauce with 1 part low sodium soy sauce (low sodium for obvious reasons), 2 parts Sake, and 1/4 part honey. I cut the low sodium spam thinly and fry it until it's very crispy on both sides. I then add the sauce and let it simmer until it gets somewhat thick and absorbs into the spam. I then pour the spam and sauce over rice. It's salty to be certain, but, it's also delicious.
instead of a musubi, I just cut it into strips and make kimbap out of it. It's extremely salty so I cut the strips very thinly and put a lot of veggies. The other day, I was craving some "Pigs in a blanket" so I made a dough that consist of all purpose flour, butter, baking powder, and sugar (no salt because the spams are salty enough) and then I wrap the dough with some small cubed spams. Roll it in a ball and then fried it.I gave some to my family and they loved it.
I used to eat Spam A Lot when I was younger, and I used to do Grits,eggs, and Spam. When you make the grits right before it was completely done like 5-6 minutes for 20-25 minutes grits, 5 minutes grits wait in till 1-2 minutes before it's done. Throw in one raw egg, cook it with Spam and put it in a bowl.
you can only taste the salt, potatoes, and corn. whats the point of putting a tasteless class one carcinogen in your food if you cant even taste it without seasoning it with plants?
I don't know if you are going to read this or not but in my family when it comes to spam we partially boil it because of the amount of salt it has. You would slice the spam, put in a pan , cover the spam with enough water for it to boil for approx. 2 to 5 min or until the water boils out completely. Once the pan is empty, you can eat it immediately or fry it afterwards. Just a suggestion, if you were to eat spam again.
I tend to agree with you Emmy, Spam is incredibly salty. It's a staple though, for Caribbean people, to add to hurricane supplies. I always buy the low sodium kind. When I was younger, my mom would fry it, then put it on bread, and put a thin slice of cheese on top, and bake it in the oven until it was bubbly and crunchy. It was pretty good prepared that way. :)
On a 5 day canoe trip in the middle of the Okefenokee Swamp on Floyds Island I sliced up two cans of the Turkey Spam and fried them. When they were just about done I added some Turkey gravy. For sides I had mashed potatoes and stuffing along with jelled cranberry's. There were 4 of us and all we had after the meal was clean plates and some happy paddlers and campers. The Turkey Spam is a easy way to surprise your friends and have a meal of Turkey , Taters, Gravy and Stuffing for everyone in the middle of a Swamp.
We would have Spam periodically growing up, primarily as a meat replacement. Our favorite ways to eat it: Chopped into rice with peas sprinkled with a bit of cheese to make a casserole; diced into scrambled eggs (the salt seemed to seep into the eggs so you could taste the hammy-ness); and chopped into bean soup which we always served with cornbread. I think it was always sliced, fried, and then chopped into the 3 dishes. I cannot remember the last time I had any, tho. You are a brave - and likely puffy - lady :-)
you only like the salt. eat a plain boiled meat. no seasoning or salt. plain. better yet, eat some raw meat. then tell me if your tastebuds can taste protien.
Jonathan M. Is this why Americans are the fattest humans on earth? Or is it the saturated fat and cholesterol? Why dont you like eating unsalted food? My vegetables are delicious. No salt required.
Hey Emmy, this is Keisha from Hawaii and with spam I love to make Spam fried rice. A super simple recipe that does not have too much salty flavor depending on how much spam you add. You just have to pan fry leftover steamed rice, small cubed spam, scrambled eggs, and equal parts of soy sauce and oyster sauce. The best thing about fried rice is that you can pretty much add anything or as much or as little as you want to your tasting. I hope you can give this recipe a try. Aloha from Hawaii.
+imani Thomas I've never had it so I have no clue what it taste like hence why I watched Emmy eat it. By luxury I meant it in the way of being able to buy canned food at a grocery store
We stew it in Puerto Rico. We also make "Mesclita" which is spam, cheese whiz and roasted red peppers blended to a cream. We put it in bread. We make rice with Spam inside or fried on the side of eggs.
Spam spreads the salty love around when it is cubed, fried, and tossed into a salad with a light vinaigrette - with cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, and crunchy root veggies like jicama and radish. Actually really good!
I love Spam with everything mostly. My favorite recipe is Spam and Cabbage. Its super simple and takes little to no time to prep and cook,not to mention that its lightly fried with small chunks of potato so get ready for a tast explosion in your mouth. I use a whole Napa cabbage(you can substitute this) cut into larger bite size squares, dried ginger root(2 tbs) EVOO( 3tbs) 4 cloves fresh garlics diced 1 teaspoon sesame oil, 1 large shallot diced, 1/2 cup white vinegar, salt and pepper to taste ..and of course spam ..i also add a bonnet pepper i love the spice..Sautte' the garlic ,shallot on Medium heat until slightly translucent and then add the Napa Cabbage slowly and as it begins to wilt slightly you can add the more and alternate with folding onion mixture over it..continue this until all cabbage is in the pan and add ginger and sesame oil turn stove up to medium highl..and then chunks of potatoes and Spam..complete by adding 1 cup of water or veggie broth..let this sit for 15 min and once this is complete you can simmer on low for 5 minutes with vinegar..Enjoy ...
In Puerto Rico we make these types of potted meats into dips for birthdays or other parties. Blend the meat with some cream cheese for body and stability, then top with jams. (Typically pineapple) and serve with toasted bread or crackers.
Spam is one of those guilty pleasure foods for me, that I don't want to like, but once or twice a year, I'll actually crave. A fried Spam sandwich, with mayo, tomato, and lettuce is comfort food at its finest.
My family loves spam. They add it to fried noodles, fried rice, sandwiches, and we even just serve it as a side dish after dipping it in egg and frying it. It tastes good in a lot of things
I once had a peanut butter and spam sandwich because my grandma made a mistake but I still ate it and it was actually okay. That happened when I was a kid though so that opinion of peanut butter and spam together might change
I'm thirsty. ;-) Spam was also shipped to the UK in huge quantities in WWII as part of the effort to keep the country fed in the face of the German submarine offensive. That's where the humour of the Monty Python 'Spam with everything' sketch comes from. The British diet was very restricted during the war and people got sick to death of trying to do something new with the small number of things they could get, Spam being one of them. That's also responsible for it's low reputation post-war: the thing anybody wanted to eat after rationing was lifted was the same stuff they'd had to eat before.
I am a little late to the party but the two best flavors of Spam (and these were not in your taste test) are the "Jalapeno" flavor and the "Hot and Spicy" flavor. "Hot and Spicy" comes in a red can and has the "Tabasco" brand hot sauce mixed into the Spam. The "Jalapeno" flavor comes in a green can and was a 75th anniversary limited edition but they are still making this flavor in my area. By far the two best flavors of Spam, "Hot and Spicy" and "Jalapeno"..
We usually just pan fry Spam and eat it with rice. Sometimes we cut it into cubes and make fried rice with it, with the addition of veggies like green onions, mushrooms, and corn. I'll also put leftover Spam slices into a sandwich with a slice of cheese and some mayo.
Hickory Smoked Spam is the best thing ever! You need to slice it half as thin as you did and grill it on the Foreman until it is crunchy crisp. It tastes like very good bacon cooked that way. I love it and keep back up cans on hand.
I grew up with spam on rice with plantains and eggs for dinner in Puerto Rico... it always reminds me of my great grandma, such a simple and humble meal. When corned beef got super expensive, my grandma would open a can of spam and mix it with the corned beef (thus yielding more for a big family dinner lol)
Deep fried spam... rice... and a sunny side up egg with a runny yolk. You take a bit of your rice, pile on some crispy spam, then dip the mix into some runny yolk, then taste the flavor explosion! Rice being naturally bland balances out the salty spam, absorbs the extra grease from the frying pan and the yolk just adds a creamy texture which balances out perfectly with the hard grained rice and chewy spam. Something so simple... yet tasty, A classic fusion Asian breakfast. I miss my childhood.
Spam rolls....a family recipe. Spam n mustard mix spread out on a dough of Bisquick, rolled n cut into rounds, baked n served w a cheese sauce made from Campbell's cheese soup. So yum
Fried spam w/ white rice and over easy eggs, spam fried rice, slice of fried spam in a piece of toast w/ mustard, thinly sliced fried spam in ramen (w/ extra water so the soup isn't as salty to offset the spam), egg scramble w/ tomato and diced spam (maybe add some spinach and onions), spam in the middle of onigiri is also quite good, and not as salty as musubi.
I love spam! In our house we have spam musubi, potato kale hash with spam and tobasco (served with eggs of course), spam and egg tteokbokki, spam banh mi, SLTs (instead of BLTs), and we put it into kimchi stew! It's also great just fried and served with rice and veggies, and it goes really well with tofu. Some recipes I haven't tried yet, but am planning to: deviled spam, spam marinated in gochujang then fried and served with rice, loaded baked potato with spam, spam ramen (because of spam's saltiness I'll be making broth instead of using the packet). Good luck using everything up!
I like the low sodium spam on occasion, like when camping, fried up in a cast iron skillet, and then with maple syrup drizzled over it. Reminds me of when I was a kid and my family camped!
spam musubi is a favorite and usually the only way ill eat it. sometimes ill get a craving though and fry it up diced with scrambled eggs or rice/stir fry. think ive only put it in a sandwich once (still fried though, i havent even tried it straight from the can).
I like the hickory smoke Spam and bacon flavor Spam in a cold pasta salad with pasta, tomatoes, cheese cubes, Spam, spinac, cucumber slices and salad dressing. I don't add salt. I make a huge batch during summer when it's too hot to cook.
I just recently tried spam after being averse to it. I always remember it having a sort of jellied slime on it, but it's much nicer than I remembered. It wasn't so bad. i think the best use for it would be diced up in a hash of scrambled eggs and/or fried potatoes.
as someone from the land of spam (MN) id say most people here (at least those that I know and met) don't care for it. I personally love it. it's such a versatile ingredient and it goes extremely well with many Asian cuisine.
I'm 16, it's a Saturday night, and I'm laying in my bed watching a woman eat spam. I'd say it's a night well spent.
same
I'm also 16 and i'm also in my bed, just that i am in Mexico and i am a guy...
Exact same😭😭

@Pen,Sick puke
When I got my first apartment in 1978 a friend gave me a can of Spam so I would never be hungry and always have something to eat.
I still have that can.
😂😂😂best friend ever
Yes, It has never been opened.
You should send it to Ashens! He might even try a bit o.o
If I had 2 of them, I would most certainly send one, but I only have the 1 can and I would miss it. lol
Make a time capsule!
So many Spammers! 😆
First!
I was just being silly! :) My partner and I love all of your videos and look forward to them...keep up the awesome work :)
use the spam for ramen
I feed it to hungry lost dogs they love it
+1jazzyphae Aww nice

we didn't have much money growing up. So my dad would get a cab or two of spam and cutting up into bite-size pieces fry in a pan until it was crispy. Then he would add a can of corn kernels and a small bottle of picante sauce... It was actually pretty good😊
Sabrina E that’s so crazy that spam was your struggle meal. Here in Hawaii one can is like $4-5 😭😭😭
food is food when your hungry

I love the idea using teriyaki sauce! Definitely going to try it.
I love spam musubi/spam with rice and nori yummy
This was very interesting to watch, we bought a whole variety of spam in our local supermarket and also from Our recent trip to Hawaii. We found some interesting flavors like teriyaki, cheese and spicy! You'll definitely enjoy the spam musubi better than straight out of the can. Spam is good cut up I to small pieces in fried rice and also makes a rather good soup stock because it's so salty. Enjoy!!!
Yes! Spam goes WITH a meal, it isn't supposed to BE the meal!
I like to microwave a couple of slices of Spam and then dice them and put them in macaroni and cheese. The cheese really neutralizes the salt and it makes the whole thing taste pretty good (in my opinion).
Same here.
Woah! I never knew you knew about this channel! It's amazing :)
I eat mine with mac and cheese as well but I have to have my spam fried up nice and crunchy. I like a little cucumber with it to get rid of the salty taste. Like her, I like the bacon the best.
my mom always put tuna in Kraft box mac n chease
Courtney (ProjectSNT) WHO THE HELL WOULD DARE TO MICROWAVE SPAM!?!? EVERYONE KNOWS YOU HAVE TO PAN FRY SPAM!
When I was a kid we used to slice it thin and fry it so it had the same crunch as extra crispy bacon, and always paired it with macaroni and cheese and fried diced potatoes. Thinking about it that setup is a dietitian's worst nightmare lol but we only had it maybe 3 times a year if that and always during the summer.
Oh it tastes so much better when you put it on the pan until it’s golden. We ate rice and seaweed with spam all the time in Hawaii, It’s a traditional Hawaiian dish!
My Dad loved it fried with eggs on the weekend but I always rinsed it, sliced it and boiled it in about 1/2 in. of water in the skillet for 5-10 minutes to remove some of the salt/fat then simply pan friend it like bacon. The boiling makes a world of difference and was much better for his blood pressure.
Good idea!
Your Dad was in the Army, Navy or Marines?
Navy as was his Dad.
I've never heard of doing this but it makes so much sense. Thanks for sharing!
My best friend is Samoan. She makes spam musubi for family get-togethers and parties, and she always boils it first, too. I'd never heard of that. We had spam sometimes when I was growing up and always ate it fried with eggs and toast at breakfast. I really liked it, but I don't mind salt. I definitely think it's best when served with something like eggs or rice, etc. as opposed to by itself.
Spam musubi is also my favorite. I marinade it in brown sugar and soy sauce and some water before I fry it for the musubi.
Another one is to put spam and pineapple in a grill, cook it up, and put it on a burger Bun with some lettuce and maybe mayo.
Last one. Dice spam, make a scramble with it and eggs, throw it on a tortilla and add cheese and salsa.
Military men in WWII actually got different slam than commercially. It was greasier and saltier. They used the grease as gun lubricant and to waterproof boots. They hated it and this poem was infamous.
“For breakfast they will fry it;
For supper it is baked;
For dinner it goes delicate -
They have it pat-a-caked.
Next morning it’s with flapjacks,
Or maybe powdered eggs -
For God’s sake where do they get it?
It must come in by kegs.
Oh, surely for the evening meal
They’ll cook up something new!
But the cooks they are uncanny,
Now the Spam is in the stew.
And thus the endless cycle goes;
It never seems to cease -
There’s Spam in cake and Spam in pie
And Spam in rancid grease.”
pianopaws88 , appreciate this !✌ 👍
You have really nice plates.
Off topic. Off topic. :)
K Ony I know, but her plates look really nice.
Lol :)
Yeah they're lovely 😍
+Infinity Lamb Of Mariah they're* 🙂
I absolutely love SPAM Fried Rice! Just substitute SPAM for the meat you would normally use. I add frozen veggies to the mix for a fast and easy meal.
SPAM musubi is also a favorite. It's especially good to fry the SPAM as you would for musubi and then lay it on a bed of rice and scrambled eggs for breakfast. My favorite breakfast!
Thundr Byrd That sounds delicious. Spam Musubi is the best especially with Japanese mayo 👌
if you're reading this stay positive lovely :)
you too, love. Thank you
what a nice message :) Thank you, honestly i needed that.
you're welcome! need more positivity in this world :)
+abbylove2002 shes just fishing for likes really
Fishing for likes eh?
I love that you visibly wince to these and yet ate bugs with no problem.
Add potatoes, peppers, and make it into a nice Hash. You don't even have to season the potatoes.
Yees. With scrambled eggs nom nom
ooh, that sounds good!
That's what's awesome about using Spam in any dish! It adds the salt for you & makes it less overpowering. 👊👊 Looove it
When I was little my grandma used to fry original spam in a pan with some maple syrup. Surprisingly it is pretty good (as good as spam can be) it was the salty sweet combination 😛
take a shot for every time "salt" or "salty" is said.
Of 'heroin?
No matter of what this game would nock you out...

I work in a fish and chip shop in Cornwall, England and we sell Spam deep fried in batter, it's quite popular! Maybe you should give it a try Emmy? 😊
My guilty pleasure is a spam sandwich (cut thin and fried) on toasted white bread with cheese (bonus 'Murica points if it's american cheese or velveta) with mustard, lots of mayo, and potato chips. I haven't had one in years... You should try it!
Potato chips ON the sandwich, to clarify!
But how do the potato chips (I'm assuming you mean what we call "crisps" in Europe and not actual fried sliced potatoes) work ON the sandwich? Don't they just crumble and add a ton of saltiness? :O
Crisp sandwich is the best xD
Yes crisps. They do add a little saltiness but I use such a thin layer of spam that it isn't too big of a deal. They add a really nice crunch.
=D
I love how unpretentious and honest you are with your reviews so many people give in to memes rather than just giving an honest reaction. This is why you're great. I will recommend you to everyone because you're so great.
I used to eat it fried with plain white rice and some vinegar to counteract the saltiness. I'll have to try it with eggs!
I requested this and she came through and i'm so happy! I absolutely love spam cause i'm weird..but I usually cook it.
Also i usually eat the 25% less sodium and cut them into very thin pieces cause, as you described, its very salty.
ME TOO I ALWAYS SLICE THEM THIN! Have you tried spam with rice and eggs it’s my childhood memory. I still eat it.
That i'm awake for your 2am posting schedule(my time) is slightly troubling. Your videos are kind of soothing, though, because you're so methodical.
me too, at 2am :D
are you in the uk?
Born and raised in Minnesota... the home of Hormel and SPAM, so what did I eat growing up? A lot of SPAM! I gave up eating red meat a bunch of years ago (nothing religious... just a mammal thing) and my three biggest losses were Pepperoni, Original SPAM and White Castle "Beef" Hamburgers (I also grew up with them).
Fortunately for me Hormel makes Turkey Pepperoni which has less grease than traditional, and while most restaurants don't serve it, I make my own pizza at home typically and load it up! Hormel started making Turkey SPAM a number of years ago and it's now my treat about once a year. Last month I made my first ever Musubi with it and it was excellent. White Castle? There's a new one here on the Las Vegas Strip, but too much hassle to get to and I've never had their Turkey burger version of sliders, and don't know that I want to. Just give me Turkey SPAM (and pepperoni)!
Emmy - Thanks always for your videos!
This has nothing to do with this video but your skin is glowing! You look so healthy and happy! Stay positive! 😊😊
Its all the spam she ate..
Emmy I have just recently started watching your videos and I cannot express how much your videos help me be happy. Your personality is amazing thank you so much!
I'm thirsty.
go drink some water :)

+JooheonX Kihyun Cheeky 😊Pardon the misidentification.
When I was younger we didn't really have money, and they would give us tons of spam at the local church. We always took it out of the can, sliced it kind of thick and then put it two slices of it on a piece of bread, then put mayo on another slice of bread, then sandwich them together. I loved it sooo much.
I don't know why I love these videos so much... I hate being around people while they eat! I won't even eat out at a restaurant. But Emmy could spend an hour boiling water and I would watch it.
Gina Young samee I just love Emmy no matter what she eats
hey emmy, i'm from guam and spam is sssuuuperrrr popular here. (average per capita consumption is 16 tins per person per year!) we eat it fried, in musubi, or as spam kelaguen.
to make spam kelaguen (from ChamoritaMomma's Kitchen)
1 can of spam (preferably hot n spicy)
1/2 cup of chopped onions
1/4 cup of chopped green onions
6-8 FRESH key limes or calamansi (amount can be altered to ur liking)
salt, to taste
hot peppers or pepper flakes
mash the spam, add in the onions and green onions, then squeeze in the lime/calamansi juice. sprinkle in salt and hot peppers or flakes. can be served with fresh titiya (another local dish), crackers, chips, or over rice :)
enjoy!!
This hair style suits you really well, and as always, great review :)
I'm a Spam fan. I don't eat it much, but I always keep a couple cans in the pantry. It's great to have around for emergencies. When the expiration date is approaching, then I treat myself and buy another. I'll either fry it and have it with mustard, or just have it sliced thin on bread as a quick sandwich. That's probably my favorite way of eating it, just sliced thin on white bread. It seems to counter some of the saltiness. An interesting side note: Spam was the very first item I learned to cook when I was a kid. I was watching my younger brothers and there was a recipe on the can for how to make a mustard glaze and then bake it. So I tried it. I was maybe 14 or 15, and it was the first thing I actually learned how to cook. I'm now the primary cook in my household.
is there a saltier flavor?
while stationed on Guam and Hawaii, i learned to like spam, I use it a quiche, like cheese, broccoli, or spinach, add the spam and no need to do any salt, i dice it up to use.
I'm a committed vegetarian, why am I watching this? I guess because it's an Emmy video and I love Emmy!
I'm from Malaysia and what my mom use to do with spam is slice it super thinly and almost looking like shredded carrots and fry it on low heat until it's all crispy and eat it with rice congee with some spring onions! It's the best!!! And my childhood meal right there! Please try it!
Yum! I'll have to try that.
I like it when you wear your hair this way. It accentuates your face in a better way.
Asmoharg I love this hairstyle on Emmy .. it’s SO STINKING CUTE 😂
My family was pretty broke growing up so we ate a lot of cheap dinners my mom could throw together really quick at the end of the day (Both parents working very hard and raising three kids). One of our favorite "treat" dinners was Original Kraft Mac n Cheese with fried Spam and green peas. They always start separate on the plate but you slowly start to mix them together and oooooh so good. Childhood on a plate for me.
When we kind of took some time in our family, as a child my mom would cook rice and fried ‘meat’. So after many years of calling it fried meat, I tried fried spam and rice with my friends and it tasted the same.
Mother, you lied to meeeeee.
My daughters love when I make fried noodles with Spam (I use the low sodium version). Blanched ramen noodles, thinly sliced onions, thinly sliced cabbage, bean sprouts, thinly sliced carrot, cubed Spam. Season with either the seasoning pack from the ramen or a shoyu, sugar, mirin mixture. You can also add scrambled egg to it or a fried egg to top each serving. With love from Hawaii...we know our Spam (every year there is a festival in Waikiki called the Spam Jam. Look it up and I'm sure you will find a ton of recipes using Spam).
There is nothing you can really do to spam to screw it up lol. fry it or added it to salads for a meaty flavor or even make spam salad. toss it into mac and cheese My favorite was the BBQ spam but they do not make that anymore so just fry it in some hickory smoked bbq sauce or fry it and dip it in sauce. My dad was military so he like everyone else got paid once a month and well we had a lot of interesting spam dishes we got creative with. Oh and canned treet too lol and I will still make spam just quick, simple and all in all good I think.
No way to make it good
I didn't have Spam in my house (in Hawaii) until a hurricane hit &it was donated to us. It has saved us countless times. We use the low-sodium, low-fat version and in dishes that tend to have lots of veggies. Spam musubis are the exception, but that's why it's got a big mound of rice!
Hello, legend claims that if you arrive early emmy responds! Is it true?

True.
+emmymadeinjapan omg! You answered!! ❤️❤️
When I was a kid in the early 70's, one of the ways my Mother used to prepare Spam was to grate it with a cheese grater (actually a Salad Master but most people don't know what that is) on the finest setting and then blend with mayo and other ingredients to make "ham" salad sandwiches. It was just like ham salad they sold in the stores or at restaurants but on the cheap. It was great to take camping because it didn't require refrigeration. Spam used to be the poor mans ham but inflation and novelty have driven prices way up. There was even a lower cost knock off to Spam called Treet made by Armour Meat Company. Both are a "spiced ham" but Treet was half the cost and half the flavor. We were a Spam house but I will say I have' tasted it in years!
i love spam! i cut it into little pieces, fry it and mix it into my mac and cheese ! you should try that! much better than just plain spam. although i devour that too.
Little bit of garlic powder, little bit of cayenne, few spoons of brown sugar, mix it all together, rub it on the side of thinly slice spam, pan fry until carmelized, near the end add a healthy squirt of Baby Ray's BBQ sauce, mix that till they're all nice and coated and cook for another minute or two until that sauce turns into a thick, sweet, delicious tar. Pop those onto a piece of bread with cheese and lettuce, maybe mayo, and scrape the sauce overtop, then add your other piece of bread. Pan fry it to make crispy if you like
There's a Korean Stew called Kimchi Jjigae, made with kimchi and pork that often has Spam in it. It's really good!
That sounds REALLY good.
yeessss! the spam almost soaks up the kimche soup and its so good
Also the Korean army base stew has spam in it, and it looks really good!
Omg Kimchi is my life lol
I had a korean roommate that would use spam in rabokki
I'm part Guamanian and while growing up on the island we would make Spam Kelleguin which is similar to a ceviche. The lime juice a heat from the chillies really helps cut the salt. I really recommend it. I can't take the salt content either and I grew up on the stuff.

I fucking love this comment
Hi, Emmy: Being from South Texas, I was trained from an early age to like the saltiness/savory aspect in conjunction with a hot cereal such as Cream of Wheat, Malt-O-Meal or even oatmeal (steel-cut oats are a favorite) that has been heavily sweetened with anything from white, granulated sugar to maple syrup, depending upon your preference. My Dad's and my favorite was Cream of Wheat made with milk, no water and finished with a generous pat of salted butter and very generously sprinkled with granulated white sugar. Just dip the slice into the sweet, thick cereal and enjoy. The trick is to slice it very thin (very much like how you sliced it in your video) and frying it until a very crisp and dark golden crust is achieved but the meat product is still toothsome and pink in the middle. I would suggest frying your next slices (I agree the 25% less sodium is our favorite) and folding the hot, crisp meat in a single slice of fresh, soft, white sandwich bread. This is called, in my family, "a fold over" and the best way to enjoy it is dipped into the creamy, orange yolk of a free-range, over-medium fried egg. Follow that bite with a generous sip of fresh, cold, whole cow's milk and it's like you're at my family's kitchen table. Enjoy!
(✿◠‿◠)/ ♥ Fried turkey spam is good with rice, seaweed and a sunny side up egg! It's also good in ramen with egg and green onion.
I'm going to have to try that for my son! You try it with any of the other flavors?
(✿◠‿◠)/ ♥ Just had the regular spam growing up. I don't eat pork anymore, so I only buy the turkey. My mother use to make us spam sushi, with spinach and eggs. It was so good! :D
That's what my family been doing too 💕 pour some sweet soy sauce are also bae
Ramen with egg and green onion? Wow. That's so weird. Long ago, my mom used to make us Chinese noodles with a chopped hard-boiled egg, sliced green onion, and a bit of soy sauce and broth. We loved it, but I always wondered where in the world she came up with that recipe. The closest she ever got to Chinese food was a small town restaurant which, undoubtedly, never served noodles with egg and green onion.
(✿◠‿◠)/ ♥ My mother's from Okinawa, Japan. I think green onion is a norm, she used it in all her dishes. She use to cut hot dogs in half and slice them on the ends to make octopuses, too. A mother's love.. ♥ She spoiled me, I won't eat anyone else's fried rice or egg rolls. LOL
Emmy, I have always LOVED Spam, but I have never eaten it uncooked. My sons grew up eating it in sandwiches, macaroni & cheese, omelets, quiche, browned with garlic in olive oil over spaghetti. No need to add salt to any dish! My favorite flavors now are Teriyaki, Hickory Smoked, & Jalapeno - fried crispy brown & served on toasted whole wheat bread with mayo, spicy brown mustard, swiss cheese, sliced tomato, & raw spinach. Served with Lay's Dill Pickle Potato Chips, it's my new "Comfort Food." ;-) I also LOVE your Taste Tests!
It isn't that salty geez .. Spam is best on an English breakfast or English breskfast sandwich!
I know! she makes it seem like shes eating straight up salt!
Since she is so used to eating plain seasoned food, I would say that's a big deal for her 😂😂 and she didn't serve with breads or rice etc, which made it taste 10x better💕
made me feel bad loving fried spam burgers with tomatos etc......have i gotten used to the salt? :(
Nothing wrong with salt if your body doesn't mind it. I love salty foods (and Spam), and no matter how much salt I intake, it doesn't seem to impact my health.
+Knigasera ummm please go to a nutritionist, high salt intakes are not good for anyone's health it can lead to alot of health problems including high blood pressure
I used to think Spam was horrendous as a kid, but I was starving at my bachan's house one day and it was kind of all she had. I ended up leaving it in the pan a bit too long, but that extra crisp was all it took to make me fall in love with it. I put it on top of ramen, I put it in fried rice, I put it in egg and cheese sandwiches, Spam musubi, etc. The hot and spicy version is my favorite; it tones down the saltiness and gives a more earthy, vinegary flavor of Tabasco sauce.
she sure is pretty.
Best Spam sammich: Thick white toast, 4 thinly sliced & fried regular/salt reduced spam, thinly sliced tomato, cucumber & pickles, and mayo and/or cream cheese for the spread. Fried egg and/or tobasco optional but recommended.
Girl..
U needed to eat it with rice.
It gets modes salty when it's fried.
I make a sauce with 1 part low sodium soy sauce (low sodium for obvious reasons), 2 parts Sake, and 1/4 part honey. I cut the low sodium spam thinly and fry it until it's very crispy on both sides. I then add the sauce and let it simmer until it gets somewhat thick and absorbs into the spam. I then pour the spam and sauce over rice. It's salty to be certain, but, it's also delicious.
I'm thirsty
instead of a musubi, I just cut it into strips and make kimbap out of it. It's extremely salty so I cut the strips very thinly and put a lot of veggies.
The other day, I was craving some "Pigs in a blanket" so I made a dough that consist of all purpose flour, butter, baking powder, and sugar (no salt because the spams are salty enough) and then I wrap the dough with some small cubed spams. Roll it in a ball and then fried it.I gave some to my family and they loved it.
Spam...no greater love LOL! Cheers Emmy
hahaha!
my grandma beats an egg and coats the spam then frys it up still taste salty tho!
I wonder if they tasted salty or not to her? 🤔🤔
1:15 you see?
I used to eat Spam A Lot when I was younger, and I used to do Grits,eggs, and Spam. When you make the grits right before it was completely done like 5-6 minutes for 20-25 minutes grits, 5 minutes grits wait in till 1-2 minutes before it's done. Throw in one raw egg, cook it with Spam and put it in a bowl.
My family makes a casserole with regular Spam, creamed corn and potatos, and it makes the salt a lot more underwhelming
you can only taste the salt, potatoes, and corn. whats the point of putting a tasteless class one carcinogen in your food if you cant even taste it without seasoning it with plants?
Not gonna lie, that sounds pretty good. And I'm pretty much pro-spam 👌🏼
+Random Vegan 🙄🙄🙄🙄
+MsLiliblue nobody cares if you are vegan
PHAN
I don't know if you are going to read this or not but in my family when it comes to spam we partially boil it because of the amount of salt it has. You would slice the spam, put in a pan , cover the spam with enough water for it to boil for approx. 2 to 5 min or until the water boils out completely. Once the pan is empty, you can eat it immediately or fry it afterwards. Just a suggestion, if you were to eat spam again.
i make a pie with spam it has mushroom soup patoes onions lemon parsley and a pie shell unsweetened if you like i ca send you the recipe.
I tend to agree with you Emmy, Spam is incredibly salty. It's a staple though, for Caribbean people, to add to hurricane supplies. I always buy the low sodium kind. When I was younger, my mom would fry it, then put it on bread, and put a thin slice of cheese on top, and bake it in the oven until it was bubbly and crunchy. It was pretty good prepared that way. :)
i eat spam all the time its not salty at all
Same but I think maybe we are just used to it 🤣😂. Love me some spam!
I do not like food blogs at all. But I'm obsessed with your channel. Even if I'm not watching I'm using this to fall asleep. Love it.
i have spam with corn in ramen
Do you use it in place of a tampon?? What a dumbass comment😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😋😋😋😋
On a 5 day canoe trip in the middle of the Okefenokee Swamp on Floyds Island I sliced up two cans of the Turkey Spam and fried them. When they were just about done I added some Turkey gravy. For sides I had mashed potatoes and stuffing along with jelled cranberry's. There were 4 of us and all we had after the meal was clean plates and some happy paddlers and campers. The Turkey Spam is a easy way to surprise your friends and have a meal of Turkey , Taters, Gravy and Stuffing for everyone in the middle of a Swamp.
teeth grinding on the fork might literally kill me..
We would have Spam periodically growing up, primarily as a meat replacement. Our favorite ways to eat it: Chopped into rice with peas sprinkled with a bit of cheese to make a casserole; diced into scrambled eggs (the salt seemed to seep into the eggs so you could taste the hammy-ness); and chopped into bean soup which we always served with cornbread. I think it was always sliced, fried, and then chopped into the 3 dishes. I cannot remember the last time I had any, tho. You are a brave - and likely puffy - lady :-)
i eat bacon spam with tabasco and rice
sometimes cut the spam even finer to make the spam into fries
you only like the salt. eat a plain boiled meat. no seasoning or salt. plain. better yet, eat some raw meat. then tell me if your tastebuds can taste protien.
+Random Vegan lmao im american, of course i love plentiful amounts of sodium.
+Random Vegan im a kid. calm urself. my tastebuds arent as refined and snobby as your vegan ass.
Jonathan M.
Is this why Americans are the fattest humans on earth? Or is it the saturated fat and cholesterol?
Why dont you like eating unsalted food? My vegetables are delicious. No salt required.
Hey Emmy, this is Keisha from Hawaii and with spam I love to make Spam fried rice. A super simple recipe that does not have too much salty flavor depending on how much spam you add. You just have to pan fry leftover steamed rice, small cubed spam, scrambled eggs, and equal parts of soy sauce and oyster sauce. The best thing about fried rice is that you can pretty much add anything or as much or as little as you want to your tasting. I hope you can give this recipe a try. Aloha from Hawaii.
She hasnt has Spam as an adult....whats it like not being poor?
I grew up very poor and till this day I've never had spam. We didn't have the luxury of buying American foods like that
+Pink Kawaii Kitty that is not a luxury spam isn't healthy what's so ever and everyone says it's disgusting
+imani Thomas I've never had it so I have no clue what it taste like hence why I watched Emmy eat it. By luxury I meant it in the way of being able to buy canned food at a grocery store
+Don Burd ah okay I always feel the need to explain things on UA-cam since people tend to think the worst out of a comment lol
Pink Kawaii Kitty
like a cute pink kitty ;)
We stew it in Puerto Rico. We also make "Mesclita" which is spam, cheese whiz and roasted red peppers blended to a cream. We put it in bread. We make rice with Spam inside or fried on the side of eggs.
Spam spreads the salty love around when it is cubed, fried, and tossed into a salad with a light vinaigrette - with cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, and crunchy root veggies like jicama and radish. Actually really good!
I love Spam with everything mostly. My favorite recipe is Spam and Cabbage. Its super simple and takes little to no time to prep and cook,not to mention that its lightly fried with small chunks of potato so get ready for a tast explosion in your mouth. I use a whole Napa cabbage(you can substitute this) cut into larger bite size squares, dried ginger root(2 tbs) EVOO( 3tbs) 4 cloves fresh garlics diced 1 teaspoon sesame oil, 1 large shallot diced, 1/2 cup white vinegar, salt and pepper to taste ..and of course spam ..i also add a bonnet pepper i love the spice..Sautte' the garlic ,shallot on Medium heat until slightly translucent and then add the Napa Cabbage slowly and as it begins to wilt slightly you can add the more and alternate with folding onion mixture over it..continue this until all cabbage is in the pan and add ginger and sesame oil turn stove up to medium highl..and then chunks of potatoes and Spam..complete by adding 1 cup of water or veggie broth..let this sit for 15 min and once this is complete you can simmer on low for 5 minutes with vinegar..Enjoy ...
In Puerto Rico we make these types of potted meats into dips for birthdays or other parties. Blend the meat with some cream cheese for body and stability, then top with jams. (Typically pineapple) and serve with toasted bread or crackers.
Spam is one of those guilty pleasure foods for me, that I don't want to like, but once or twice a year, I'll actually crave. A fried Spam sandwich, with mayo, tomato, and lettuce is comfort food at its finest.
My family loves spam. They add it to fried noodles, fried rice, sandwiches, and we even just serve it as a side dish after dipping it in egg and frying it. It tastes good in a lot of things
I once had a peanut butter and spam sandwich because my grandma made a mistake but I still ate it and it was actually okay. That happened when I was a kid though so that opinion of peanut butter and spam together might change
I'm thirsty. ;-) Spam was also shipped to the UK in huge quantities in WWII as part of the effort to keep the country fed in the face of the German submarine offensive. That's where the humour of the Monty Python 'Spam with everything' sketch comes from. The British diet was very restricted during the war and people got sick to death of trying to do something new with the small number of things they could get, Spam being one of them. That's also responsible for it's low reputation post-war: the thing anybody wanted to eat after rationing was lifted was the same stuff they'd had to eat before.
I am a little late to the party but the two best flavors of Spam (and these were not in your taste test) are the "Jalapeno" flavor and the "Hot and Spicy" flavor. "Hot and Spicy" comes in a red can and has the "Tabasco" brand hot sauce mixed into the Spam. The "Jalapeno" flavor comes in a green can and was a 75th anniversary limited edition but they are still making this flavor in my area. By far the two best flavors of Spam, "Hot and Spicy" and "Jalapeno"..
Growing up as a kid my dad used to make scrambled eggs and spam on Saturday mornings. Eating it now brings back awesome childhood memories.
We usually just pan fry Spam and eat it with rice. Sometimes we cut it into cubes and make fried rice with it, with the addition of veggies like green onions, mushrooms, and corn. I'll also put leftover Spam slices into a sandwich with a slice of cheese and some mayo.
Hickory Smoked Spam is the best thing ever! You need to slice it half as thin as you did and grill it on the Foreman until it is crunchy crisp. It tastes like very good bacon cooked that way. I love it and keep back up cans on hand.
I grew up with spam on rice with plantains and eggs for dinner in Puerto Rico... it always reminds me of my great grandma, such a simple and humble meal. When corned beef got super expensive, my grandma would open a can of spam and mix it with the corned beef (thus yielding more for a big family dinner lol)
Deep fried spam... rice... and a sunny side up egg with a runny yolk. You take a bit of your rice, pile on some crispy spam, then dip the mix into some runny yolk, then taste the flavor explosion! Rice being naturally bland balances out the salty spam, absorbs the extra grease from the frying pan and the yolk just adds a creamy texture which balances out perfectly with the hard grained rice and chewy spam. Something so simple... yet tasty, A classic fusion Asian breakfast. I miss my childhood.
Spam rolls....a family recipe. Spam n mustard mix spread out on a dough of Bisquick, rolled n cut into rounds, baked n served w a cheese sauce made from Campbell's cheese soup. So yum
Spam is wildly popular in Korea! It's one of the most popular gifts given to friends and family during Chuseok.
dice it up into 1/4" cubes, fry it until crispy then add beaten eggs and scramble. also works really well in fried rice.
Fried spam w/ white rice and over easy eggs, spam fried rice, slice of fried spam in a piece of toast w/ mustard, thinly sliced fried spam in ramen (w/ extra water so the soup isn't as salty to offset the spam), egg scramble w/ tomato and diced spam (maybe add some spinach and onions), spam in the middle of onigiri is also quite good, and not as salty as musubi.
I love spam! In our house we have spam musubi, potato kale hash with spam and tobasco (served with eggs of course), spam and egg tteokbokki, spam banh mi, SLTs (instead of BLTs), and we put it into kimchi stew! It's also great just fried and served with rice and veggies, and it goes really well with tofu. Some recipes I haven't tried yet, but am planning to: deviled spam, spam marinated in gochujang then fried and served with rice, loaded baked potato with spam, spam ramen (because of spam's saltiness I'll be making broth instead of using the packet). Good luck using everything up!
I like the low sodium spam on occasion, like when camping, fried up in a cast iron skillet, and then with maple syrup drizzled over it. Reminds me of when I was a kid and my family camped!
spam musubi is a favorite and usually the only way ill eat it. sometimes ill get a craving though and fry it up diced with scrambled eggs or rice/stir fry. think ive only put it in a sandwich once (still fried though, i havent even tried it straight from the can).
I like the hickory smoke Spam and bacon flavor Spam in a cold pasta salad with pasta, tomatoes, cheese cubes, Spam, spinac, cucumber slices and salad dressing. I don't add salt. I make a huge batch during summer when it's too hot to cook.
I just recently tried spam after being averse to it. I always remember it having a sort of jellied slime on it, but it's much nicer than I remembered. It wasn't so bad. i think the best use for it would be diced up in a hash of scrambled eggs and/or fried potatoes.
as someone from the land of spam (MN) id say most people here (at least those that I know and met) don't care for it. I personally love it. it's such a versatile ingredient and it goes extremely well with many Asian cuisine.
