SPAM breakfast love sandwich:

Slice spam 1/4" thick. Start frying. Start frying egg with a little paprika and pepper.

Put English muffins in the toaster.
Fry that spam GOOD!

Half slice of provolone on top of the spam till it melts. Little bit of ketchup, yummy yummy!

Riggler,


  I appreciate your recipe input, but spam is still spam! As my good friend Gavin keeps saying, you can spray a turd any colour you like, Its still a turd!(hope that didnt put you off . . . . .)

Check out this huge collection of SPAM haiku (SPAM-ku).  Nice tributes to this wondrous pink substance:

Uh... SPAM is high on the hog. Just shoulder-meat and gelatin, water and spice.

If served as a Shoulder Roast, with bone and blubber, you'd say "Magnificent!" You think SPAM is "phoney" only because real pigs don't grow so low-fat in rounded-rectangles.

No, what you are thinking of is scrapple.

Riggler has seen it on menus. It is traditional from Philadelphia west to the mountains, and rarely anywhere else. It may be of German origin. It may be why so many Germans went to America: their neighbors forced them out.

You cut your shoulder roast, your bacon, your other big lumps. You chop leftovers and stuff them in guts for sausage. What's left, you sweep up and mix with (maize) corn-meal, press into a loaf. "Good" scrapple has so much fat it never goes bad. Slice it and fry it, call it breakfast. Various toppings are tried to disguise the stuff.

Well, PRR, you are right.

But may I submit the best pork product. (Yes, I've a bit of Pennsylvania Dutch in me.)



That's right, Taylor pork roll. Flavor is just outstanding!

since the poor things have to die to quech our hunger, the least we can do is use every single bit of the animal. Since there is little we can do about the fact we are all ravenous carnivores, at least we can honor "the pact" this way.

I have enjoyed Spam once. don't know if I was especially hungry that day, but every other time I've had it, it seemed off.

as far as painting a turd any color, the Mythbusters proved that you can at least POLISH a turd:

    That is truly revolting!
