I saw this this morning. You just can’t beat back SPAM.

Eww. Back Spam? Is that like head cheese?

They sell Spam sleds at the Spam store in Austin.

Do they call them “Meat Rockets?”

That would only be if you allowed a very loose definition of “meat.”

Hater.
All hail Spam Musubi!
3:42 pm
I ate musubi almost every day when I was in Hawaii on vacation, for breakfast. They would have it freshly made at almost every convenience store. I usually stuck to the chicken teriyaki though.
I would make some but I don’t have a cool lucite box.

They sure love their Spam in state #50!

SPAM also repels water. Well, at least the museum does.
3:53 pm
Hmmm. I’ll be in nearby Hartland, MN for an event tommorrow. Perhaps I’ll swing into Austin and pay a visit to the SPAM Museum and offer my impressions on the place.

@bob
Have you tried Deviled SPAM? I guess I should also be the jerk who insists that SPAM be in all caps.

The spam burger at the State Fair is outstanding.

My father-in-law specializes in a rare breakfast delicacy called the Spamblled Egg Muffin.

Nope, sorry, all this talk is like putting lipstick on a pig. Literally…chopped pork stuff…bleah.

My dad has a penchant for fried spam sandwiches with mustard and long haul trips West in 18 wheelers.

@Bix
Then I’ll be the jerk who insists spam be in all lowercase.
7:05 am
I’ll be the jerk who insists on spelling MAPS backward!
@Bix. No, but I will ASAP. nom nom nom
