OMG: Spam Recipe

Random link spotted in the top bar of my Gmail (yay for weird RSS feeds):

Creamy Spam Broccoli Casserole

Sounds like something right out of a seventies cookbook. (Except that the broccoli would be frozen.) This hit just about every single one of my poor husband's least favourite foods. . . . So, who's going to give it a whirl?

*shrieks* One of several appalling casseroles made by my early childhood friends' moms (with velveeta and frozed broccoli). Vary it with canned green beans, hamburg [sic], tomato sauce. And *Everything* had a can of cream of mushroom soup in there somewhere.

Cream of mushroom soup -- the pesto of seventies cuisine!

Ok, I have to say, I made pork chops a while back, and dumped a box of the new portobello mushroom soup on them ...with fresh mushrooms and sherry.

There's a big difference between that and a casserole relying on frozen vegetables, tinned meat and cubed cheese-style product, now, isn't there?

Ummmm, sherry!

when we were kids, we got USDA surplus food along with our food stamps (I told you I came from a non-traditional background!). My mom actually made a really tasty casserole from bulgur, government spam, and fresh okra. what's really strange is that I don't much like spam or okra (except fried), but I remember liking the casserole.

Cream of portobello soup <> Cream of mushroom soup
No how no way. Your recipe sounds yummy and could almost persuade me to eat a 'shroom! Mmm, sherry!
