July 5, 1937: SPAM (The Luncheon Meat) is Introduced
BY JEFFREY POWERS @GEEKAZINE · PUBLISHED JULY 5, 2017 · UPDATED JUNE 30, 2017
In 1937, Hormel came out with the first can of SPAM. The Luncheon meat. Spam was derived from the words Spiced Ham. It is pre-cooked meat that contained chopped pork, ham mean, salt, water, potato starch, and sodium nitrate. So if you have high blood pressure, you might want to stay away from this stuff. SPAM is made in SpamTown, USA – or Austin, Minnesota. McDonalds uses Spam in Guam, hawaii and Saipan. Spam is known as “poor people food”, however, in Hawaii, it is a common meat served.

The origin of SPAM. If you like this video, support Monthy Python buying their DVD.
My British parents were introduced to Spam during WWII in England SGT John " Mac " McConnell. I never developed a taste for Spam.

After a discussion of ways to use/cook spam, I found a can (it lasts almost forever!) and tossed it on the grill to see how it would turn out.

Sliced paper thin, cooked so crisp that it shatters like glass, with lettuce, tomato, mayo, and Dijon on a crusty epee loaf with a tall glass of chocolate whole goats milk, strawberries on the side.

Well hell. This is the first time I've heard spam presented in a way that not only doesn't make me want to gag, but actually makes me want to try it. Well done, Sir. Points!
