Obama responsible for Spam and Velveta rejuvination!!
Didn’t both of these products originate during the great depression?
A heckuva lot of people in this country just plain LIKE Spam. My wife is one of them.
I bought many cans of Spam a few weeks ago - just in case...
Product has a real long shelf life and it’s going to stay there on the shelf - just in case...
I remember reading somewhere a long while back that Hawaii consumes the most spam of any state. I always thought that was kinda funny and odd at the same time.
Lovely Spam!
Spam fed the Russian Army for the 2nd half of WW2. There is a Spam festival in Russia yearly.
Yes, Spam and Velveeta are a treat for some folks. But I’d bet you’ll see a SERIOUS spike in coronary artery disease within a few years. Maybe even enough to take down Obama’s universal health care system.
Euthanasia. Yeah, EUTHANASIA, that’s the ticket.
I have always found SPAM to be costly for the amount of meat you get. I generally buy the generic SPAM at Walmart.
I have to agree that fried SPAM is delicious, and my family loves it.
Growing up I always hated SPAM because my parents never cooked it and I could not get over the icky jelly all over a cold lump of meat. Come to think of it my parents never could cook very well.
Oddly, name-brand spam is not really all that cheap when you price it by the pound... There are lots of meats cheaper than spam.
Here’s a recipe for everyone, to help you get through the 4 lean years of Obamanomics:
RECIPE: My wife has made spam cassarole for years. Slice spam into 2x2 squares a quarter inch thick. Slice white potatoes thin (about 5 times as much potatoes as spam), mix both in a bowl with some margarine and seasoning (we use Morton’s “Nature’s Seasoning”), pour into a buttered cassarole dish and bake at 350 until the potatoes are tender and it’s browned on top. I teased her about it for years, but it’s surprisingly good.

It’s $6 a pound around where I live. That is not an economy food; it’s a luxury I buy as an occasional treat for my son, who devours it. One $6 chunk of spam is gone in less than two minutes. Where the saving is in that, I don’t know.
Velveeta doesn't last that long, although it has a longer refrigerator life than real cheese. The expiration date is pretty accurate according to my experience.
Just had Spam this week. About every 3-4 months, I have the urge.
layer slices of Spam with slices of mozzerella, cover with spaghetti sauce, bake for an hour. A little garlic bread, and about a gallon of thirst quencher, and you’re good to go.
I Love Spam. Make it with Shells and Velveeta cheese. Yum! :)
Hmmm... if I had to... I’d go back to what kept me going in college: peanut butter (Jiff smooth variety) & strawberry jam sam’itches, pancakes, & raman noodles.
I used to eat that stuff. It was okay if it was fried to a crisp and eaten on a sandwich with mustard. But during these upcoming hard times I’m out of luck. There’s too much salt and fat and being a heart patient I just won’t be able to eat it. Then again, if you’re hungry enough you’ll eat just about anything.
I remember seeing a large depot of cases of Spam somewhere overseas
during WWII.
It was a stacks of cases maybe 20 or more cases high, laid out in a
“U” shape and commonly called
“Spam Canyon”.
