do any of you guys eat spam? because here it's almost close to staple... spam musubi, spam in fried saimin, spam in pansit, spam with fried rice, spam marinated in shoyu [aka soy sauce]... spam, spam, spam...

why do people dislike spam? i think it's good though very fattening

[OneWithTheMud]

I've heard of Spam before but what exactly is it? I've never had it.

[Amanda]

Why did I just think of that whole Spam sketch from Monty Python...?

[SoccerAaron]

I don't like it

[Scott]

Specially Prepared Army Meal

or something along those lines. It's horrid.

But the MP sketch rules.

[SoccerAaron]

Spam in the place where I live (ham and pork)
Think about nutrition, wonder what's inside it now (oh boy)
Spam in my luchbox at work (it's the best)
Really makes a darn good sandwhich any way you slice it at all

If you're running low, go to the store
Carry some money to help you buy more
The tab is there to open the can
The can is there to hold in the spam

Oh, spam on the table at home (ham and pork)
Think about selection, are there different flavors now (let's eat)
Spam in my office at work (it's the best)
Think about the stuff its made from, wonder if it's mystery of meat

If you need a spoon, keep one around
Carry a thermose to help wash it down
Now, if there's some left, don't just throw it out
Use it for spackle or bathroom grout, now

Spam in my pantry at home (have some more)
Think of expiration, better read the lable (oh boy)
Spam breakfast, dinner, or lunch (it's the best)
Think about how it's been precooked, wonder if I'll just eat it cold

Now, once you start in, you can't put it down
Don't leave it sitting or it'll turn brown
The key is going to open the tin
The tin is there to keep the spam in

Oh, spam (spam)
Ham and pork
Think about nutrition, wonder what's inside it now (oh boy)
Spam (spam)
It's the best
Really makes a darn good sandwhich any way you slice it

Spam in the place where I live (have some more)
Think about addiction, wonder if I'm a junkie now (let's eat)
Spam in the place where I work (you're obsessed)
Think about the way it's processed, wonder if it's some kind of meat

Spam in the back of my car (ham and pork)
Spam any place that you are (ham and pork)
The tab is there to open the can (spam any place that you are) (ham and pork)
The can is there to hold in the spam (spam any place that you are) (ham and pork)
Oh spam

why don't you like spam? how was it cooked the last you ate it? you should try spam musubi... it's like sushi, except in the middle it isn't raw fish and other stuff; it's spam... yes, musubi is dried seaweed, rice, and marinated spam... very tasty

by the way, what do people in the mainland eat spam with?
