Spam spam spam spam. Lovely spam! Wonderful spam!

[fitfool]

In this post, I had asked what to do with the cans of Spam my sister gave me. You responded with so many good ideas that I was eager to try my first taste of spam. You talked of your own and others' fondness for this canned meat and made me look forward to tasting it myself.

You both might also want to try a Spam sando (sandwich) that is popular here... a slab of egg, a slab of spam, wrapped in sushi rice, with a layer of seaweed to act as a wrap and/or handle. Very good. And now I am hungry. :)

ETA: I googled, and apparently this is a variation of spam musubi. It's like a mix of musubi and sandwich. Good stuff. And if you add a bit of honey or sugar to the egg to sweeten it up, that makes it that much better.

[fitfool]

Sounds yum. I failed to find a photo of Spam sando when I googled though. I'll have to wing it. But the slightly sweet egg probably balances the salty Spam really well.

[fitfool]

Yes, do try the handroll. I liked the musubi too but it was a good deal more work than just the handroll.

The creamed tuna on toast sounds icky to me but I haven't developed a taste for canned tuna still. I have one can in my pantry waiting for me to try something with it.

Saw your pic of Rosie but spam is on my mind

I like spam too but its been a few years. My favorite is spamburgers.
Oh, and your yellow lab is very peaceful looking.

Mm. I was going to make Spam burgers but I had no bun.

That yellow lab is dear Rosie. She was still alive when I started using her as my icon but she has since passed away. I still miss her and she wasn't even my dog.

I like to fry spam up by frying it in butter, and sprinkling a bit of sugar over the uncooked side while in the pan, along with a bit of dried oregano. The oregano is totally optional, it tastes awesome either way. But I normally really dislike spam due to its saltiness.

[fitfool]

Yeah...spam by itself is pretty salty. But when mixed with other things, the saltiness is nicely balanced with the slightly sweet sushi rice or by the unsalted eggs in the English muffin sandwich. I hadn't seen anything suggesting oregano. I'll have to try the sugar and oregano next time. Thanks!

It's especially good in mac+cheese. (either from the box or home made, i've had it both ways and so tasty)

[fitfool]

Heh...I think my boyfriend would be horrified to find spam in his mac+cheese but it does sound tasty to me!

[razz]

That is the breakfast of champions! Or, in my case, just a dang good breakfast. I'm glad you tried it, and even gladder that you enjoyed it!

[fitfool]

Really was a satisfying breakfast. I couldn't get my boyfriend interested. He just winced when I offered to make him one and said he'd grab some coffee instead.

Very enterprising of you

You made spam look like unagi. ::wild applause::
