    Turkey spam is surprisingly good.

    But not quite as spammy as the original specially processed american meats.

    The lite salt spam is good, too. Sometimes I have a hard time finding it.

    Not that I eat a lot of spam, mind you. Just as a treat.

    (I also like vienna sausages and smoked fish and such. Mmmm, nitrates!)

    Spam reminds me of childhood camping trips. My mother always cooked Spam then. Fried is not too bad, cold is GGRROOSSEE.
    Oil is good, grease is better.

    DebW--me too! Why is Spam a camping food? I personally don't care for it. The rest of my family (all men) seem to enjoy it. So we affectionally call it "guy food" at my house. (Along with other guy food like vienna sausages, summer sausage, and other processed meats and canned meats and fish). All guy foods seem much too salty for me.

    No spam for me! Although I enjoy Monty Python's version.

    (Actually I think the camping connection has to do with the military providing spam to the troops--packs well, lasts forever, lots of salt is a good thing for them--hence the carryover to camping)

    me too, backpacking with my high school friends, only good way to have SPAM is burnt over the campfire, every other way, yuck.

    L&L Hawian BBQ near me makes SPAM sushi. An acquired taste

    I like fried SPAM too... it makes me all nostalgic for Girl Scout camping trips when I was a kid. Scrambled eggs reconstituted from a powder, griddle cakes, SPAM sliced thin and fried....

    Just to bring this back on topic ... The other day (or was it this morning? and is that Alzheimer's setting in?) ... anyways, my point was that I noticed a nasty spam message that had no spam warning symbol in the left-hand field So now spammers seem to have found a way to dodge the spam warning system Does that mean that the administrators need to update the system somehow? ALL posts are supposed to have that red triangle symbol in the lower lefthand corner, right? It's for us to alert the administrators if we find anything annoying or offensive, such as spam, or flaming.
    Half-marathon over. Sabbatical year over. It's back to "sacking shirt and oat cakes" as they say here.
