Last night I made fried rice. The meat of choice for me has always been Spam- my mom taught me this way, and I will continue to hold this tradition and pass it down to my family. People call it Hawaiian Fried Rice. Naturally I had leftover Spam.
Today’s lunch consisted of a cup and a half of steamed white rice, 3 medium sized Butter Lettuce leaves, a can of low sodium V8 and two slices of SPAM. Yes, SPICED HAM, the other canned lunch meat! To my dismay, one of my co-workers walked by and asked what I was eating. She was shocked, appalled even. My boss was right there and said it’s really good- as I agree. There is nothing wrong with eating canned meat, especially Spam. I thank the great state of Hawaii for developing this “portable snack.”
Why does Spam freak people out? During recession fueled times, this meat was affordable for everyone! If you eat Tuna, then why not try Spam? The Food Network even has a recipe for Spam Musubi! My boyfriend dislikes it because it smells and looks like wet catfood. I actually beg to differ on that one.
