I don't care about its stigma...it just looks unappealing. I eat a lot of unhealthy food myself but it has to at least look, taste and smell good. :D Unless the world were coming to an end...I wouldnt think to touch the stuff.
Come on now, you can have fun with spam. Just mold it in to little pigs or cows. I like it fried or baked only. It's good in scrambled eggs or on a sandwich, if fried first.

To be honest I don't remember what it even tasted like as i tried it only once and that was years ago. I just know it looks like cat food.
 
Spicey brown mustard on fried balogna is amazingly tasty!

Fried bologna is amazing in general. There is a guy near here that smokes a lot of different stuff. His ‘store’ is open from when he quits smoking until they run out.

He makes his meats from a relative of his who has a farm and goes as far as making his own bologna. He covers it in rub and smokes it. Wicked good stuff. Even better fried.

They aren’t open past noon most days...

Edit to add: fried until it just starts turning black..... now I’m hungry...
 
I only do the canned ham, chicken, and tuna. I used to eat Spam as a kid, but can't stomach it these days. I currently use canned chicken in soup, make tunafish sandwiches out of canned tuna, and sometimes slice canned ham and grill it to make hot ham and cheese sandwiches....but that's really the only uses I have for it.
As a kid I ate Spam, potted meat and Vienna sausages. If I never see it again, I am cool with that.
 
I crave Vienna sauages about once a year. About half way thru a can I realize how bad they are and am good for another year.
Mustard, Mustard, and more Mustard...then you can choke them down.

Actually, the way we ate Viennas growing up was in my mother's version of Pigs in a Blanket. She used bread, slathered with mustard, rolled a Vienna sausage in it diagonally and secured it with a toothpick, then toasted it in the oven.

We all loved them. So I thought I liked Vienna sausages...but then when I tried eating them out of the can they were awful. So I was like "I used to like these things???"

Then I rolled one in bread with a lot of mustard. Made all the difference.

It’s all about the prep work.

My Dads Mother had a country store in town when I was a kid.

I hung out with my Dad a lot (then I was too young for school) since he had his own business. We’d go there at lunch. Potted meat, old school bologna and crackers and a coke. Definitely not healthy, but definitely good!
