Bacon Grill Is It Better Than Spam? - Outside Cooking
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 лют 2025
- I love spam but we found this Tulip pork luncheon meat and bacon grill and decided to fry them up and see if the cheaper luncheon meat and bacon grill are tastier than the dearer spam. We also fried up some corned beef as well to see what it tasted like.

Thanks for another great food tasting video. Congratulations on the arrival of your new grandson, hope Mum and baby are doing well x
Thank you so much Caroline for your support.
You two make my day, I love you both to bits, me and my hubby love crispy bacon grill! Great video! Xxxxxxxxxxx😘❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
If you cut bacon grill thinner it crisps up nice, add fried egg to a sandwich with, mushrooms, white pepper, tomatoes and hp fruity sauce….thats what you call. TASTE SENSATION
Open both ends with a tin opener and push the meat out. Comes out of the tin very easy x
Depends which end of the tin you try to push it out.
Hi Again Folks, 👋
Good to see you. I do love it when you cook. It really gives me an appetite. 😅
Ohh😢 I feel sooo bad and sorry for those poor hens I'm so glad your friend rescued them😊. Goes to show, amongst all the bad and evil that goes on there's someone good just around the corner willing to put it right. Thank Goodness❤❤
Lovely video. Its so rewarding toget rescue hens ,they feather up really quickly ,and quickly learn how to spuddle and find the worms.
We had bacon grill years ago when we don't camping in our tent loved it ❤
I use a tin opener on the bottom then slide it through and slice it as it is coming out 😊 great video guys
Yes it is!! I'm having Bacon Grill with Cauli cheese tonight - its far better than Spam, much more flavoursome! Team Bacon Grill here! It needs to be cut much more thinly and fried so it's crispy :)))x
At least you didnt have to go in the car and cook beside the road, 😊
I agree with you, thinly cut and crispy! Mmm delicious, bacon grill every time! Xxxxxxxxxx😘❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Sounds great!
Ooh I remember spam served at school with batter on. Loved this review. Thank you ❤x
I work on ships and have a good complement of Philippine workers,who adore Spam , they call it ‘ Chinese chicken ‘ 🥸
Lovely to see you as always, just love your dogs being involved. Thanks for a nice vlog, hope you didn't get too wet. ❤
My husband uses bacon grill for fishing bait .. fish love it
I can open the underside, then push it out. My cousin in Cornwall has rescue chickens , they are a sad sight to see when she first gets them , but when jan had looked after them a while they are lovely , and produce lovely eggs. Hope you didn’t get wet .x
You can’t beat cooked corned beef, tonight I had toasted sandwiches with it in cooked in the George Foreman. Cheers to you both.
Add capers and sweet red onion 👍
@@BigBoaby-sg1yoI did add onion but I'll try capers too, thanks.
@@DisneyMarkUK back from the pub , you can’t beat a cold corned beef and cold baked bean sandwich😋
i love bacon grill with scrambled egg,mushrooms and chopped tomatoes
Me and the kids wouldn’t eat any of them but my hubby loves corned beef hash or sliced in a sandwich , that bacon grill I know a lot of folk prefer it to spam , the prices these days are crazy , food has pretty much doubled for so many things . Good review on these 👍👍
Hi thank you again my late husband loved bacon grill as well glad you enjoyed .❤❤
Spam 91% meat-contais starch. 2x200g tins in Iceland £3,85. Tulip only 64% meat-contains starch. 250g tin in Iceland £1.75. * Pek 90% meat- NO STARCH. 200g tin in Iceland £1.25 * Pek also tastes the best!
Is starch 'carnival' then? Sounds like Pek has got it right.
Thanks , worth a try. 😊
Merlin is a lovely dog, he loves you two to bits. I know he's hanging around because foods been cooked, hoping he may get a few scraps. But even if there wasn't food in the offing, he still needs to be neer you two. I found the found the obsession Merlin he has with shaddows so amusing. Bless him and Dougle.
We love all you're videos, you both give us a smile with very interesting tips that I've used and works! However Merlin and Dougie are the stars of the show with there cheeky faces as they beg.❤ 😂
Keep up the good work.
Tulip canned chicken breast is lovely in a white bread sandwich and a bit of salt, no frills and easy
Delicious and then straight to A&E for some survival tactics.
Mmm iv never had fried corn beef i will be trying it very soon . I love the colour you have done your hair Sharon xx
Try cubing the spam. If you can get it, cook chicken rice a roni according to the package directions. When you add the water pour in 1 can of corn including the liquid and put the cubed spam in at the same time. Cover and cook as directed on the box of rice a roni. Its a great one pot family meal. I promise baby Frank will love it. I made it for my daughters now we make it for our granddaughters. We call it spam and rice. Cheap, easy, delicious.
We have never had bacon grill in years this has given me something to think about thank you both another great video, I love seeing Merlin and Dougal always there.😊
Great vlog.I enjoy all them meats fried.Love all your vogs.
I love bacon grill, last time I bought it was from Poundland, it was only a quid and well in date, must pop in and buy some more tomorrow, always handy to keep some in the cupboard.
If I had the time I would watch Martin Sharon and the dogs all day. Thank you for sharing another great fry up.🇦🇺🦘🐕🐕❤️❤️❤️
Congratulations Sharon & Martin on the birth of your new beautiful grandson Charlie Butler 💙🫶🏻🥰xx
Really enjoyed that! got the same frying pan (your recommendation) from Amazon best pan Ive ever used, thank you.
Great to hear!
Those pans are awesome. Me and my brother do our eggs in them. Perfect.
I have never fried corned beef and you can by corned beef in Aldi for 2.05 and it’s lovely I love bacon grill
That looked lovely, my Dad used to fry the corned beef, and luncheon meat in batter, must give it a go, thanks for the memories ❤
We used to get Bacon Grill cans in our Army rations back in the day. Bacon Grill on Biscuits Brown (Ar*e Blockers we used to call them) was delicious. An acquired taste to be fair but I loved them. It's all freeze dried stuff these days.
Tried the bacon grill, brilliant, nice and crispy, lovely taste!! Conversation
Enjoyed your outdoor video, glad you enjoyed what you cooked 😊
Another great video you two and the food looked lovely. Must be nice to have one of those power banks to cook with outside. Thanks for sharing and enjoy your time ;))
Love chopped pork one with fried tomato yum on oven bottom bap , 👍
In that cease I would us a tin opener ,that's such hard WORK getting that out of the tin . I would much rarther have the one with a key .TAKE care and all the best. I have been whoching Tracie and Ben's yuotube, Thay are SO good with the children. 😊😊👍👍👍
You should try bacon grill with baked beans, typical squaddie breakfast on manouvers. Yum
Sharon I love you how you pull faces at Martin, I don’t understand why people are rude to you too I think there jealous at you doing well through hard work. KEEP THE GOOD WORK UP I THINK YOUR BRILLIANT!!
Need to cook bacon grill in thin slices. It crisps up really well. Was eating this in a caravan in the 70’s. Slightly smoky flavour. Try running the cans under a hot tap to get the meat out easier. Bit more difficult if not at home.
Thank you for another vlog my dish used to be corn beef and rice 😊
Hi Martin & Sharon
Just Subscribed to this and retrorestore. Brilliant videos that are always great to watch and also has funny witty moments. Look forward to seeing many more and hopefully you videos in Lanzarote (if you get there lol) me and the wife have been going once or twice a year for last 14 years to puerto del carmen and love it .
Awesome, thank you!
Never been a fan of spam (I think the greasy spam fritters at school was what did it for me) however, I got into bacon grill when I was in the RAF. It was always on for breakfast when we were out on exercise. That and what they called compo sausages, they were in tins complete with their own lard.
You're right about the water in the pan for the eggs. It works a treat.
Thanks for sharing!
I don’t mind spam. Can’t stand fritters. The batter texture with the meat makes me feel sick. Same with a battered sausage 🤮🤮
Water in the pan for fried eggs is an old trick, so long as the rest of the stuff in there doesn't end up steamed. which I doubt as it's supposed to be added right at the very end. Good to be reminded of these little wrinkles passed down from years ago..👍
Make a small hole at the bottom of the tin to stop the vacuum holding it in
Morrisons has been knocking this out for years now and it is a winner winner quick dinner
I buy Tulip luncheon meat for fishing bait, Carp and Barbel love it :)
I do like these tins of luncheon meat, any product that is Danisn is excellent. Merlin and Dougall were eyeing up the goodies 👍👍😁
Thanks guys
Hi guys what a good idea adding a little drop of water to steam top of eggs take care
I love how intensely Merlin was watching Martin getting the spam out of the tin 😂
I first tasted Bacon Grill over 40 years ago and at the time I thought it tasted amazing and loved it ever since. Primrose always made the best one, but these days it's very difficult to find. It goes really well in a couple of rolls. Dave
I've never had spam, I will have to try these xx
We add these to our camping stash in the van. Quick, easy and very tasty once you get them out of the cans trying to keep your fingers intact. They have gone up in price so much they used to be a cheap meal.
Loved this video x
open the regular end and poke a hole in the other end, it will slide right out! luv u both!
I used to love the bacon grill. Fantastic comparison one 👍🏻👍🏻. Please use your little gas burner cooker absolutely comedy gold mate 😂😂😂
The easiest way to open these cans is to open the top with the pull ring then use a can opener on the bottom and push that it will come out easily
Its highly processed meat, full of crap and not carnivore. Hope it don't upset your tums.
Believe it or not, I cooked spam for the first time in about 20 years today for my mom . I wanted to cheer her up because she's recently gone into a nursing home, so I asked her what she wanted to bring in, and she asked for some spam ❤ I'd forgotten how nice it tastes ❤
Always try to give mum things she may enjoy while she's in care...I miss my own mum so dearly and always tried to give her things she remembered loving over the years...her favorite foods made such a difference...even if only for the moment, she was able to escape to happier memories when we would eat together...(and Spam was something I would always prepare in any manner she wished...✨🤙🏼✨🙏🏼✨) bless your mum...take care...
@kj8645 I will and thank you ❤️
Couldn't you take care of your Mum at your home? Or her home? Surely that is the best option for her?
I ask because I would not want to go in a nursing home.
@@JazzFunkNobby1964 simple answer is no.. if you have no health problems yourself and you no other commitments and the person you're caring for sleeps at night then maybe you could manage but after 2 year's, 2 major operations, no sleep and no support it became impossible...now I visit every day and live with the guilt...hope that answers your question.
Easy way to open a spam tin. Use a tin opener and make a slot in the bottom of the tin on four positions and give it a shake. The spam will slowly slide out with a bit of a shake.
I'd go for a 'Full Metal Jacket' .. Pork, Bacon, Corn Beef and Egg.. You seemed to have missed an opportunity there 😂
tulip luncheon meat is the best for chub, barble and carp. its really firm and stays on the hook. its been going for over 40 years
Hi both, great video 😊 I went to buy some spam last week for my boys to try but when I saw the price I looked for an alternative but I wasn't sure if spam was pork luncheon meat or chopped ham & pork as both were on the self in the same tins so I brought neither 😮
As others have said, just pierce bottom of tins with tin opener and meat comes out very easily if top lid is off.
Fantastic, may well try it. Love to you both, xxxxx
Use a can opener on the bottom just for a bit then it will normally release
Oh I love a bit of pink lint yummy 🤤 reminds me of when I was a kid 😁
We saved some poor battery hens that were due for the chop because they had stopped laying ....they came to live with me and my mum on our Welsh hillside ...scrawny sad little things ...but they soon fattened up and lived a good life eating natural foods and plenty of exercise they were happy hens .. then they started laying !we ended up selling the lady in our local shop our eggs !she was the lady we bought them off 😊the best eggs I've ever eaten 😁
I grew up with bacon grill it was so much cheaper than bacon, it’s lovely in a sandwich with red sauce x
Congratulations another beautiful grandson for you both 💙
love the old Atari and the cartridges for the games in early 80s
Also I've been meaning to message since your 2nd outdoor cooking video. I brought a 900watt airfryee for my motorhome and I use it on my bluetti and it works great 😊 I brought it after seeing it on urban vanlife and he had a discount code. The airfryer is Chefree and cost me £39.99.
Sounds great!
Sharon loves a bit of Al Fresco. She’s beaming! Aussie Bob ❤❤❤
Never thought of frying it! On the shopping list now though!
Enjoyed your video guys. Not a lover of spam and I have never seen the bacon grill. Love the corned beef. ❤
lol in Australia at woolworths Spam Ham 340g
$6.80 or Ham Luncheon Meat Premium 340g $4.30
Thanks for putting me on to the nitrate free bacon
Bacon grill is always good if you get it crispy on the outer skin. Used to grill it. Not sure how it might work in a "George Foreman" grill.
It is easier to get the spam out of the tins is to put in warm water and your bacon looks delicious watching from South Africa
Bye the way I have been converted to nitrate bacon really like it alittle bit more expensive but very nice cheers for that x
Thank you Guys 🌹,
I really enjoyed that!!!!! And as usual, I'm hungry now. When you cook I swear I can smell it 😅😅😅😅😅.
Really appreciate seeing you Folks.❤ love, hugs and kisses till next time ❤️❤️🤗🤗😘😘🐕🐕🦺💯🌹

Another great video as always looks massive I never had spam I love corn beef it's great cooking bout side Ur bk garden bis massive making me hungry lol love Barbara ❤
Another great vid yous always make me laugh now tin protocol use the can opener on the fixed side the use the ring pull side and gently push lol xxx
A big shout for SPAM as regards taste, we like Bacon Grill and there's no denying the value for money.
Spam is getting ridiculously expensive but it's taste and flavour has never been replicated in our minds so we eat it as a 'treat' these days. Another great video folks.x
Asda corned beef is very nice only £2.40, my tip is pierce the bottom of the can and then open the top and it will fall out
looking forward to them outside cooking vids
Love both spam and bacon grill. Spam is cheaper in farmfoods.
Great tip about the eggs! Those chickens have come far👍🏼
I love corn beef in batter. Yum
What about those tins of Danish ham I’ve seen in Tesco, sort of an oval shaped tin, does that work fried
The best bacon grill was plumrose, you can't get it these days, the next best one is by Dane king, which also made plumrose. It's far nicer than spam. What's the difference in the ingredients?
Bacon grill is so tasty I think not that fussed on spam and expensive but if you like it everyone has a preference of taste definitely Bacon grill for me Thankyou for sharing 👍💯
Have you seen the Ninja Double Stack XL 9.5L Air Fryer SL400UK. It seems to be a great space saver for those with limited counter space? Like your girls.. lol Mum and Dad gift, after a trial run?
Never thought of cooking those have to give it a go.x
You have to store bacon grill in fridge and then grill it xx
Love these simple, honest true videos you and Sharon bring us , thanks Martin.
I've been a vegetarian for 3 years now with no regrets. But when I did eat meat I stayed away from these tinned meats because regardless of how you cook them or even if you eat them cold with salad or a sarni they are absolutely carcinogenic especially at our age I'm afraid. Not trying to scare me anyone but that type of food is only fit for using as fish bait. In my opinion
Spam has been around since the 1937.
@@butlersempire unfortunately that is no reflection on the current ingredients and that the new science in the manufacture of these foods has proven they are carcinogenic and the level of this toxicity is increased when heated. If I went on a carnival diet I would stick to grass fed meats and nothing processed. People need to switch on to what they put in their bodies as manufacturers can't be trusted the same way big pharma can't be trusted. But you enjoy yourselves I'm just making you aware, what people do with that information is up to them but awareness is key. You only have to look at the increase in cancers over the past 50 years to realise it's not just environmental toxins or big pharma that is contributing to the new cancer pandemic. My brother died last year and it stated on the autopsy report that his bladder cancer was caused by long term use of Beta blockers, nothing big pharma makes has no side effects and it's all deliberate. You enjoy the choices you make and good for you but people still need to be made aware of the reality of these food choices based on your own personal understanding that helps make informed choices. Spam may have been around for over 100 years but it doesn't make it safe I'm afraid. Enjoy
Oh I will have to try the bacon grill sounds lovely
There's carbs in this one so not for you guys but your loyal troups might be interested. Farmhouse Grill/Farmers Breakfast. 'Eggy Mess' - you pick your own name!
Cube a small tin of bacon grill, chill it first to make cutting easier. Cubes need to be about half an inch or so.. Then dice a well drained can of tinned potatoes - whatever size suits your appetite - medium is probably best. Chop a medium onion. And cook!
Fry the bacon grill in its own fat if possible, otherwise add a touch of light cooking oil to help it along - in a medium to large frying pan. Then add the onion before the bacon grill goes too brown - remove bacon grill before adding the onion for now if you wish. Cook the onion then add the cubed tinned potatoes. Again, cubed to less than 1" - possibly half and inch or a bit less. Add more oil if needed, but just enough to keep it from sticking.
Once all that is golden, add the bacon grill cubes back in and heat it all right through if you took them out - stirring as you go. Beat three or four - plus one or two more more eggs if you like as this will stretch to feed four people i reckon - a slosh of milk, plus a shaking of salt and pepper together and pour it into the pan on top of the cooked stuff. Keep stirring then switch to a spatula or egg slice to keep moving the mixture around and to keep it from over browning on the bottom.
Partway through you ought to be able to flip one half over the other to make a delicious enclosed Farmhouse Omelette. Otherwise, just keep stirring the browned bit in and call it 'eggy mess' as we did at school. Serve with bread and butter.
Almost like a Spanish omelette, it sounds great
@@mickevs If you have a suitable pan, it can be finished off in a hot oven - so it's not unlike a Spanish omelette as you say.
Looked really nice, I do like both. X❤
