I also can't believe this thread went as long as it did before Monty Python came up. I was going to but @sKiZo beat me to it. I can't remember the last time I has spam, but there was a stretch when I was a kid where we had it quite a bit. I think I remember liking it. That grilled picture sure looks good!

As I recall someone telling me years ago ... SPAM is not as gross as a common Hot Dog.
Trust me ... you do not want to know what they are made of.
Knew a guy back in the 80's who worked at a place that made Hot Dogs
... he told me he will never eat one again for as long as he lives.

i won a Spam cookoff a few years ago with my "Sweet and Sour Spam."
I cut spam in the shape of prawns and dipped in tempura batter. Then deep fried and served on a platter with sweet and sour sauce (basically vinegar, water, and sugar with some orange food coloring) and a bit of coconut sprinkled on top. Yummy.

There was a Spamarama in Austin for many years starting in the '70s - lots of events featuring Spam, including Spam carving and a Spam toss. Not sure what happened but it's been a few years since the last one.
I remember eating Spam as a kid. I may have to go get some and grill it up for the next get-together here.

A nightclub in Anchorage Alaska had a full Spam menu and when unsuspecting tourists ordered it, the spot light went on them, bells and sirens went off and the crowd went wild. Mr Whitekeys.

A camping staple. Fry some up with some cackleberries and you're eatin' like a king.

I was going to make a comment how SPAM and dog food seem to have a similar smell, but I won't cause that would be in bad taste.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OK, but seriously you do notice that some canned foods, especially the cheaper ones have a certain smell to them.
I wonder if it's some sort of MSG type "flavor enhancer".
