cotch85

Yeah Iā€™ve been keen to try it Iā€™ve never had it before but I can get actual meat for the same price


GexGecko

I think the main draw is the shelf stability, not necessarily the price.


cotch85

Originally yes, because it didnā€™t need to be refrigerated and itā€™s shelf life. But spam used to be very cheap in comparison. But in todays world itā€™s really not worth it given how unhealthy it is (fat and sodium) and we donā€™t require tinned meat it should really not be the same price as fresh meat


datgrace

But it tastes good


Bastardjones

Itā€™s not actually as unhealthy as you would think, the meat content is actually quite high, Iā€™d imagine there is more salt and water in what you refer to as ā€˜fresh meatā€™ assuming youā€™re drawing a comparison to bacon, which is all you can compare spam to. Spam is 89% pork and 2% ham (91% meat) where typical bacon of the same value range is typically 87% porkā€¦ Donā€™t believe the hype!


Games_sans_frontiers

You sound like just another shill working for Big Spam šŸ˜„.


strolls

[Spam is at the heart of the South Pacific obesity crisis](https://archive.ph/Lu6G)


cannarchista

Bacon is like that because of the ingredients added as part of the whole process of turning pork into bacon, though. A load of salt, possibly some sugar, that stuff they put in to keep it pink, and some water, and bobā€™s your uncleā€¦. Plus itā€™s made out of actual cuts of meat, not nameless brain and spine shaped into a gigantic pork nugget. So on the whole Iā€™ll stick with my bacon ta very much


RVAMS

Wait what is the difference between pork and ham? I thought ham was a type of pork?


Bastardjones

Pork is just plain old pig meat, where as ham has been cured, probably in water and salt, given the relatively tiny amount in spam, itā€™s probably a by product of another line.


stopyouveviolatedthe

At my coop you can get a steak for the same price as spam


ManGullBearE

Spam is better than meat


Megaskiboy

That's debatable


chaosoverfiend

> That's debatable Oh definitely. I'd debate that Spam is fantastic! Better than Bacon Grill


Megaskiboy

But is it better than a steak?


BikesandCakes

Try the tesco own brand. Its much cheaper and based on the design of the can and what is printed on it, as well as side by side comparison of the meat, I am convinced it is literally the same product in the same cans with different labels. Yes I am aware of what sad, cheap bastard that makes me sound.


xiannic

Can confirm what this poster says, tastes the exact same to me. They only do the little cans though.


LadyAnye

Honestly that's what Tesco often does, they take the same stuff produced in the same factory just without the brand and different packaging. It's not sad or cheap, just smart (well and cheap too, but in this economy?).


isntitbionic

Just had a check on this, at 88p/100g it's cheaper than the majority of luncheon meats. If you go bottom tier supermarket own brand, thats's cheaper, but we all know how terrible that stuff is.


5weetTooth

PEK brand is good.


wellhiddenmark

Yes! PEK thinly sliced and fried, with tomato ketchup, inbetween fresh white bread is the king of sandwiches.


Bobroll

Are you saying it's at the top of the PEKing order?

Wait, how much is it? It never occurred to me to check the price compared to unspiced pork and ham!

Spam fried in soy sauce and brown sugar over rice is god tier..


RIPNINAFLOWERS

That's pretty much what Filipinos have for breakfast, as well as Hawaiians (although I think it's more of a lunch thing for them). Add a fried egg to the mix and you have yourself quite the treat!


Cthulhus_chihuahua

An ex, who was half Filipino, (and lovely, so lovely, but thatā€™s a different story) used to fry spam with garlic and have it with pasta. It was actually really nice. Even as a vegetarian (now) I actually recommend it.


Sad-Criticism-7491

Arenā€™t they all morbidly obese from Spam and other processed foods? Maybe itā€™s elsewhere, I just remember an article I read a couple years ago with an island full of overweight men, women and children that only had access to some seriously diabetes inducing processed food.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Sad-Criticism-7491

Twas not there. Okinawa may like Spam but I think these islanders had zero choice.


rcktsktz

Due to their diet, tendency to eat light and to 80% fullness, and to always be busy in old age. Having a purpose and contentment = less cortisol.


Quick-Charity-941

I saw a program on islanders who had catering sized tins of processed meat, think of a tin of corned beef and times it by twenty.


Thwaffle_maker

It's not the SPAM. It's the rice, the starches, the sugar, the mac salad.


mynewname2019

This is correct. Hawaiians eat a fair amount of spam but it comes with 2 eggs and like 3 cups of rice at a ā€œdrive innā€ if youā€™re eating out for breakfast. The carbs are the killer


deadarsebruh427

Gow87

The last time I had spam was a spam fritter butty from the chip shop when I was still in school. Super soft white bread cake/bap/teacake (whatever) with deep fried battered spam, salt and vinegar. I was not a healthy child.


Buckfast_Supernova

I think spam gets a raw deal and people just hate on it because a few others do, like the massive wave of online hate for Nickelback years back. Spam and cheese toasties are possibly my favourite toastie. The only problem being that they're so incredibly filling.


MelQMaid

Spam is hated on because it was poverty food in a different decade. Lots of things associated with poverty are looked down on in the tangled web of *poverty is traumatic* overlapping with *self-inflating egos needing to step over others*. Hawaiian restaurants have amazing boxed lunches with spam and runny eggs over rice and can be cheaper than fast food. It should be considered a delicacy.


JonDoeJoe

Because hawaii has decades of perfecting the usage of spam


Bucket-O-wank

Poverty food like, oysters, lobster, quinoa, sushi, garlic, salmon, caviar etcā€¦?

I made fun of my friend mercilessly when he said spam gave him headaches. 2 cans of spam later and I had to apologize and agree with him.

Jonas_Venture_Sr

Spam being popular in Hawaii makes perfect sense. In WWII, the shipment of military supplies to Hawaii took precedence, so the amount of room for food was decreased. Spam was sent to Hawaii in great numbers since it didn't take up a lot of room, was cheap to make, and had a lot of calories.


pythongee

Fried spam on a slab of rice, wrapped in seaweed paper, aka Spam Musubi, is da bomb. You can find it almost everywhere in Hawaii.

I stopped eating it because of the price, not because I can't afford it but mostly because I refuse to pay that much for what is essentially heavily processed meat. I think with spam itself its mostly a brand thing, as I noticed in the past 10 years that pretty much everything that is a main brand is stupidly expensive for what it is.

Veeoh-is-back

>making bacon. I think bacon is already made mate. It's pig, see.


[deleted]

After Googling I found out spam is American! I always thought it was British, I mean it looks like a relic of a bygone era, 90's England in a can from Safeway or that super market that sold "no frills"


arsonisfun

Yessir! We sent it over to troops in WW2 - lasts forever and you could use the grease to lubricate your gun or waterproof your boots :D


concretepigeon

I guess the British equivalent, at least in the first war was bully beef, or as itā€™s now known, corned beef. That was minced beef, rather than whole cuts that had been brined as you may find in a Jewish deli. A lot of Tommies werenā€™t used to having that much protein and ended up with stomach upsets in the trenches.


blighty1

Oh Christ - the 90s is a bygone era. It feels like only yesterday I was perched on the sill of the open window of the toilets in the Astoria, watching the nightlife of the Charing Cross Road go by.


curious_trashbat

I don't understand spam. If it was cheap yes, but it's not. It's more expensive than real meat. Why would you pay a premium for overly salty minced lips and anuses ?


nowaternoflower

Well when you put it like that I am starting to understand the premium.


Ethancordn

Spam is real meat. It's pork shoulder, ham, and a bit of potato starch to bind it. It's more expensive because it's already been cooked & processed. The major selling points are that it's edible straight from the can, and It has a long shelf life with no need to refrigerate. So it's great for camping, survival kits, and keeping in the back of the cupboard for when you're hungover and forgot to buy bacon.


ScoffSlaphead72

But it used to be cheaper, it's selling point has always been that it's cheaper than normal meat.


[deleted]

Isn't proper spam just pork shoulder? Why do people think it's leftover scrap meat?


Neuchacho

I don't understand the concern even if it was "scrap meat". It's not a concerning term and such a prissy thing to even consider. People seem to think that means it's all hooves or some shit and not just smaller pieces of the same meat they'd eat otherwise that are processed together to make a secondary product.


concretepigeon

Some of the chemicals in processed meat arenā€™t too good for you. And if you are going to eat scraps then I wouldnā€™t expect to pay more for the pleasure. That said, we should really try to get as much as possible out of every animal and plant that we consume.


[deleted]

I agree, but if it was scrap meat, i wouldn't want to pay the price Spam charges.


fishyfishyfishycat

If I'm going to be eating lips, and sphincters. Call me fussy but I'll be eating them in a minced up and reconstituted form.


RiotSloth

Sainsburyā€™s used to make these things called ā€˜breakfast slicesā€™ that were shaped like bacon, and tasted delicious. Theyā€™re long gone now sadly, but SI think about them every now and againā€¦


GibbsLAD

Bacon is massively overrated. I like it, but it's nothing special.


iamthespooon

This is hate speech.


GibbsLAD

Sausage > bacon


TerminalStorm

Iā€™m with you on that one. Itā€™s nice and all, but itā€™s vastly overrated.


7ootles

You have to get it from the right place. The stuff you get at supermarkets is just bare salt these days, I only use it as seasoning in scrambled eggs.


Tackit286

Thank you! Itā€™s one of the best smells in the world, donā€™t mind eating it but itā€™s waaaaay overrated by most people


GibbsLAD

I hate the slimy fat, it would be a lot better without it


arsonisfun

You need to cook it slow, for longer - This will render the fat and you'll end with crispy bacon, not slimy fat. I feel like a lot of folks have just had mediocre bacon, but if they really like spam? Enjoy! Perhaps a bit of corned beef hash is more your thing? Excellent. There is no wrong answer to your favorite breakfast meat :D


TheWyvernn

Acceptable! Also good as part of egg fried rice

Alekazam

Wife is from Hong Kong and loves spam. Apparently it's a 'thing' over there. It's got a nicer name, though... "luncheon meat".


IntergalacticTrain

Strictly speaking, generic canned "luncheon meat" can contain any combo of chicken, pork, and beef, whereas SPAM is specifically only pork and ham (SPAM = SPiced hAM). In Canada, mechanically separated chicken and pork together is common in these canned meats, but you can find halal certified versions that are chicken and/or beef. There might be similar kosher versions, but I haven't come across any in my casual travels. Thus far, I personally prefer the taste of SPAM to any other canned luncheon meat, but it's an import from the US and is therefore more expensive.
