Spam

Spam is back, apparently

Does anyone here enjoy spam, either traditionally in a bare bones setting or as a trendy ingredient? It knocks me sick personally

Good stuff imo. It’s not ‘back’ though cause it never went anywhere. Spam fried up till it’s crispy with potato waffles and beans is one of my go-to comfort dinners.

Yeah it’s good stuff. ‘Oh no it comes from a tin!’ Fuck off and grow up.

enjoyed Simon Rimmer being credited in the article as the Greens guy, rather than one of his other places which serves meat

Might be fine but memories of school spam fritters mean even the word makes me feel nauseous.

I used to wash dishes in that restaurant. Did not enjoy. He was a plum.

A guy told me once that he went in to hand his CV to work there, saw that Rimmer was knocking about at the bar so decided to hand it to him in person. Rimmer must’ve been a bit pissed or something, because he nodded along nicely enough while the guy said hi I’m after a job, this is what I do, then autographed the guy’s CV and handed it back.

Never had spam and don’t want to try it because I know I’ll like it and then I’ll be in trouble.

Same thing happened once I tried Nutella for the first time in 2014. You can’t put that sausage back in its casing.

As a veggie spam is one of the things i crave. Absolutely love dubious meat.

Think it’s just too far on the processed pork spectrum for me. I like a quality bit of pork and can cope with cheap sliced ham or garlic sausage but the weird texture of spam and the way your teeth slice through it, plus the smell… Not fer me
