LDS Food Storage Lists: An Primer of Spam

Herein, we share with to you three differing positions on Spam: those of the convenience fan, the scripture fan, and the health fan.

A LDS food storage list or your emergency essentials should contain edible ingredients that will keep for extremely long periods of time without refrigeration. Additionally, a LDS food storage should similarly provide a healthy diet, need no preparation, and have substantial calories.

I love SPAM. I love it plain, dried, fried or baked I love it on a sandwich, I love it with beans, I love it with mac n' cheese, I love it with taters, oh please oh please. I would even eat with it peas. They love it on the islands, they love it in Asia, and in Korean it still comes out "Soo-PAM" [스팸] SPAMSPAMSPAMSPAMSPAM I love you like you am.... is... I mean are...

While I never really considered SPAM to be gourmet fare, It does have the right amount of salt and fat to flavor pinto beans. Both SPAM and pinto beans are easily stored too which makes them both worthwhile as part of an emergency food supply.

Do you like Spam?

A great addition for all pantries. The usual price these days @ Walmart is $2.48 per tin. It goes in the cart when it is on sale @ $2.18.

The Walmart "Great Value" brand is usually priced at $1.78. A bit more fat content and grainier but when TSHTF it will be more valuable than gold IMHO.

Oh man, Cajun fried spam what a treat! Just slice some up, sprinkle freely with cajun spices, toward end of frying top with your choice of cheese and slap a couple of slices between sourdough bread with mustard....YUM!

Spam and Kraft Dinner!

I remember eating that on many occasions when I was a kid.

We had fried spam and cheese sandwiches for dinner the other night, and yes, I have it in my stockpile too.

Sliced Spam, right out of the can, or fried, or baked.

Open a can of pineapple, [slices, chunks, or crushed, doesn’t matter.]

Pour pineapple juice over dehydrated bell pepper and dehydrated onions, let set a few minutes, pour mixture over Spam, then add sweet and sour sauce.

Yummy.

I thought I saw recently different flavors/mixtures of spam, but haven’t seen them in the store i normally shop in.

I can't find the bacon Spam here. I went to Amazon to look for it but spotted a luncheon meat cutter and clicked on that. There are two from the same company but the newest one may be a little stronger to cut the meat, so I think I will get that one. Here it is:

Update International LMS-PP Luncheon Meat Slicer
Buy new: $14.99

Why get a cutter? Because I can never get the slices cut the same thickness and it ticks me off. With this little gadget, I can quickly make one pass of the cutter and there they are, all alike - plus, no cut fingers from a knife.

One time not long ago, at my Krogers, I saw Jalapeno Spam and didn't buy it then and later it was gone. I haven't looked in several weeks so I need to do that. All the Spam I have is regular and I want some of the other varieties.

Have any of you eaten the Jalapeno one and the Bacon one? If you have, what do you think of them?
