Why are we getting so much of it ????
Personally I'm not very keen on it, but a farmers wife did once give me the Marks and Spencers variant which was quite acceptable, it actually caused me to question it's origin hence the branded name above.
Now whether it was Spam under a different name or just another common or garden luncheon meat I'll never know because the woman in question is now dead so I can't ask her and I doubt M&S will be interested in tracing the origins of their tinned meat some twenty years ago.
Spam can have it's uses though so should we accept it as a convenience or a problem, cut into cubes and lightly fried it does make a good fishing bait, so you see Spam can be useful and shouldn't always be condemned as unwanted trash.
Another of my objections to Spam is the likelyhood of cutting ones hand on the tin, aren't they a bugger to open. It was Spam that had that stupid little key wasn't it ???? :? Or was that some other plastic meat product :?
Damn I've just realised I've got my Spams mixed up, forget this post and concentrate on Corned Beef instead.
Can we have Corned Beef instead of Spam please.

Night.

I thought it was luncheon meat that was in the can with the key ;)

I used to have a German lass work for me and in a moment of haste I bought a spam or corned beef or some other equally yucky substance from the vending machine. After realising it was the stuff which came out of the cats bum I decided that I didn't want it, and in a moment of gallentry :D offered it to my little German assistant, who had forgotten her lunch and was really really hungry.

She took one bite and spat it out making honking noises. :shock: I was shocked at such rudeness. She had to go off to the tea machine to try to wash the taste out of her mouth whilst I looked on innocently.

Laugh? To quote GAGA, "I peeded myself......." :D
