Food of Champions if you like salt, fat and chemicals. I have two cans in my stash that I will only eat as very last resort. I'd probably give them away before even considering eating them. However if you're hungry enough...
The cans are 12oz's and supposedly the "Lite" version. Serving size is 2oz, that's TWO oz's. In that 2oz serving, which is a cube about 1.5" square, there's 8 grams of fat(whatever 8 grams is equal to)(they use the gram measurement because most people in the U.S., like me, have no effing idea how big a gram is) and 580mg of sodium, which is, according to gram to Imperial units conversion is 1.16 grams or ~1/2 a teaspoon of salt in each 1.5" square of Spam.
'Course, it'll never go bad and will probably taste the same 50 years from now; like licking a salt block.
I've been to cookouts with islanders where they'd add a slice of spam to your hamburger on top of the hamburger patty. Seemed like overkill but who was I to argue? Their party, their rules.
There's cases and cases of this stuff at Walmart just stacked as you come into the main entrance in Hilo....
ReplyDeleteWow, isn't that cheap for Hawaii? I think I just paid that here in the states. -sammy
ReplyDeleteI checked for you. The current price at the Safeway in Hilo is $3.99.
DeleteUpon further review, $3.99 in Hilo, $3.79 in Honolulu.

I have some from the Cold War the Hawaiians can have.
ReplyDeleteA friend told me that Safeway ships two containers of that stuff to Hawaii every week. Amazing.
ReplyDeleteThat is a good price for Spam if buying by the can.
ReplyDeleteThe tocino Spam is back too!

Salt, sweet, fat. Everything I love to eat.
ReplyDeleteI bought some for the covid plandemic because of the long shelf life. I fried slice with egg and biscuit and it was ok.
ReplyDeleteWould not feed that stuff to my dog, its awful.
ReplyDeleteIt's locked up because of theft????
ReplyDeleteNothing like a fried SPAM sandwich on a camp stove!
ReplyDeleteThin sliced and fried crisp, served with pinto beans and cornbread. Ambrosia.

ReplyDeleteHow to say that the native Hawaiians are thieves without saying it out loud.
ReplyDeleteHawaii should go back to being an independent kingdom. 50 stars is too many
