*Smiles* My husband lived in Hawaii 24 years, and now and then he will make a plate of loco moco for himself - including Spam.

Does he make spam musubi as well? :)

I just bought a can of the stuff and still have 4 slices left. I'm thinking a spam omelet.

[anita_margarita]

No, when he eats Spam (not often because it's so salty), there is NONE left.

[a_boleyn]

Definitely salty. A once a year if that treat. :)

PS: How does he pronounce the name loco moco? I'm curious.

[a_boleyn]

I found the pronunciation at the link below. Instead of 'authentic' perhaps I should have said Hawaiian favourite or something to imply uniquely Hawaiian.

Oops!

Plain white rice, a hamburger patty and an egg with gravy.

What can I say? It's a thing. :)

I think it sounds crazy artery clogging good:) And it looks like its celiac/gluten sensitivity friendly if you pick the right gravy or make your own.
:) Thx!

[a_boleyn]

Glad you liked it.

I have two hamburger patties in my freezer, looks like I now I something to do with them.

[a_boleyn]

Enjoy.

substitute corned beef hash for the hamburger patty for another awesome variation! (Hawaiian girl over here)

[a_boleyn]

Sounds like a terrific version.
