Got SPAM?

Well, tomorrow being Easter, and my sweetie being away "horse/farm" sitting, I will prepare an Easter Spam, with mashed potatoes and corn on the side. I will rejoice and praise the rising of Jesus. The people that don't like Spam will also, because they don't have to eat the Spam.

https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/S...Foods Corporation once,“Sizzle Pork And Mmmm”.

Spam is a canned meat food made by the Hormel Foods Corporation. It is made from pork shoulder meat and ham. Spam Lite, a newer kind of Spam, is made with pork and chicken.

There have been many ideas about what the word "Spam" means. The Hormel Foods Corporation once said that it means "Shoulder of Pork and Ham"[source?], but in some dictionaries "Spam" means "spiced ham". Members of staff at the SPAM museum say it stands for Specially Produced American Meat. In 2019, Spam began making advertisements containing the definition “Sizzle Pork And Mmmm”.

Spam was used a lot in World War II, as there wasn't proper meat. Because of that, spam was used as a rationed item.

Jokes about Spam
The British comedy group Monty Python created a short play about Spam in 1970. In it, a lady who does not like Spam is talking to a waitress in a restaurant when a bunch of Vikings cut their conversation by singing the word "Spam" over and over again. The lady does not like what is happening and eventually the word "Spam" became widely used to mean unwanted email messages.
There is also a song called Spam. It was sung by Weird Al Yankovic and first recorded in 1988.

During the China flu scam Spam was hard to find. When it was available all I could get was regular Spam. So to add some additional flavor to it I'd put it in the smoker, taking it out of the can first of course.

Like Velveeta, Spam is pricey these days! A lot of the older folks I know won't buy either because they were 'give away' foods way back!!
