thats insanity. you throw a whole spam into a frying pan and then slice/poke at it with a spatula? the pieces would be completely uneven and thus would cook unevenly. have some self respect and take the rectangle and put it on a cutting board and meticulously slice perfectly even and equal lengthwise slices with the precision and poise of a 25 year old japanese sushi shef working in a two star michelin restaurant who still hates himself for overcooking a single appetizer three years ago
I guess? People don't seem to have a problem with sausage. And there are even grosser products that are regional in the US that I'll spare you the descriptions of...
A Hawaiian fast food place opened near me last year and teriyaki spam musubi is one of the most addicting things I've ever tried. I'd eat there all the time if they didn't charge nearly four bucks per tiny sushi roll.
Sadly the nearest L&L location looks to be multiple states away. I'd love a quality Hawaiian place. The place I was talking about is alright, but their entrées aren't anywhere near as good as their sides.
knew a guy in the army who would eat spam and bean dip out of cans for a meal. same guy would eat a bag of oreos poured into a mixing bowl with milk for saturday morning breakfast cartoons.
probably? was in great shape when I knew him, 290-300s on his apft. but you can't pour that much garbage into the machine and not have issues eventually
Better than okay. We are interested in efficiency. Bouncing it out a can, slicing it and singeing it on a stove takes time and adds nothing in terms of calories and sodium.
I just ate Korean BBQ SPAM with an egg and cheese on white bread. It was good considering the effort that went in. My heart is pounding like I just ran a marathon though. I think if I ate another I might die.
That's probably because a single 2 oz serving (1/6th of a can) has a third of the salt you need per day. A can is 2x the recommended daily salt intake.
I'm not here to stop you. I just have one question: Can you produce 36oz of load per day? I got that number from a regular size 12oz can of SPAM and multiplied it by 3 for 3 meals a day. This is reckoning by volume not weight.
I've never had sardines but I've heard they are extremely healthy and low cost.
Spam: low cost, delicious, but not healthy. And downright disgusting to those who know what it actually is and/or have witnessed its entire processing from whole happy pig to canned gelatinized slurry.
When I was a child I thought that stuff was delicious. Mom served it to us. As I got older I kinda started realizing what it was, along with hot dogs and stuff like that, and I cannot stomach the idea of eating such things anymore.

Oh no, you’re getting select cuts of offal and skin and water retention agents.

Yea nah the good parts of the pig, those they sell in far better cuts XD
Spam is all that's left over but the squeal, and then, sawdust or whatever they use to retain the water.

It's very cheap protein where I live. But it has way too much salt for me, and various other mysteries.
For cheap protein I buy sardines instead.

you worry about sodium so you go for the low salt option of SARDINES

I can't stand sardines. Every time I've tried them it's just the wrong kind of fishy flavor.
