I don't what it is about Spam. You either love it or you hate it. Best Spam I ever was on a Boy Scout camp out when we prepared it over a camp fire like a ham with cloves and brown sugar.

Mrs. Lungs brought this to my attention over the weekend. It seems that Velvetta sales goes up during hard economic times, too.

Got some SPAM in my pantry right now.

One of the advantages of being the son of a butcher, I have never had spam.

The last time I bought Velveeta I was shocked by how expensive it was in relation to the contents of the package. $5 for processed cheese food?

I blame ethanol. They are planting so much corn to make ethanol there is no room for the Velveeta ...

Say, what DO they make Velveeta from?

What's that Nazareth song? "Now you're messin' with a son-of-a-butcher"? I think that's right.
