That first can of spam was definitely off. Glad you didn’t eat it. I never eat spam straight out of the can but I slice and fry it until crispy and it’s a great substitute to a BLT.
Fried SPAM is good, I also like it either battered or coated in breadcrumbs before frying. In the UK we also have a product called Bacon Grill. Two main companies make it, Tulip & Princes. It's basically bacon flavoured SPAM, really good on an egg banjo.
@@Getpojkethe UK always has the best tasting products. Love marmite but it is banned here in Canada due to an ingredient, but fortunately, I surprisingly just found it at a local Asian grocery store.
@@Terenia531 IIRC its the addition of added vitamins (B12 in Marmite's case) that had it taken from the shelves in Canada.

It's a two way street though, I searched for ages to find a place in the UK that does proper cheese curds for making Poutine. I seemingly did nail Nanaimo Bars for a Canadian chum who lived here years ago. 😁
I slice it up and sprinkle a little sugar on it before I fry it up. I saw someone do it that way on a CZcams video years ago and that's how I've been eating it ever since.
The first can I was like “ Oh that looks like it’s gone off. Please don’t eat that. “ I was relieved when he echoed my thoughts and got the second can.
In Austin we used to have the SPAM-O-RAMA. I think I placed third in the "SPAM TOSS" which consisted of putting SPAM at the end of a pitchfork and then flinging it as far as you could.
I'm 68 & have eaten SPAM Years. I've never opened a can to SPAM that looked like that! Jamie call the company & get coupons! I think that the can might have had a split in its seam😢?
It's still fairly popular in Hawaii because it was the protein available in WWIi. It's often an option in poke bowls, stir-fried rice, and other native- and Asian-inspired dishes.

@@WUStLBear82 it may have been something in the late 80s to early 90s, but as someone who grew up and still lives in Hawaii...I can tell you with absolute ease and confidence that Canned Meats, Spam especially, are still extremely popular as either Musubis or as the side meat to a breakfast. I think spam con is coming up pretty soon as well 😂
Okay, im glad your alive, and didn't eat from the first can. 2nd, that chunk you had in your sandwich, would be about 7 slices for me. Pan fry in a skillet till crispy. Yummm
Yeah, you nailed it with the comfort food. My dad grew up poor, and spam was cheap and you didn’t have to refrigerate it, so my grandparents had it regularly. He would get a craving for it every now and then and have a spam sandwich or spam and eggs.
@crimson2209 I was able to find it online - it's the "Whiting Overshirt Ecru/Khaki Houndstooth Quilt" by Wax London for $230. Currently on sale at Bloomingdale's for $175
Spam Musubi is surprisingly popular around my area aka SoCal. It’s sorta Spam sushi… a slice of grilled spam on a similarly sized rectangle of rice, all wrapped in seaweed. It’s fine tho as you mentioned, salty. I prefer the chicken katsu version cause chicken and crunchy just work.
Spam fritters baby! A staple in the 70’s in school canteens here in England. Slice about 1/2” thick, coat with a fairly thick batter and fry. Yum, yum …… bloody yum
My mom loves spam, it is actually made from ham. We evidently used to eat it pretty often when we lived in Guam. My mom slices it and fries it, uses it as a breakfast meat or in sandwiches. They now make a lower sodium version and several other flavors of spam. There is oven roasted turkey, teriyaki, maple, bacon, jalapeño and other flavors. I want to try the turkey. I know someone that said maple was yummy.
I’ve seen Pumpkin Spice Spam at appropriate times of year. I’m interested to try it. Seems like it’d taste like a highly processed honey baked ham with the glaze 😋

This is so timely for me! I am getting into making deli and luncheon meats from scratch. At this very moment I have Mt first batch of homemade Spam cooking. I loved the chicken loaf I made and have high hopes for the Spam. 😁
If you still have a can, look up some SPAM recipes out of Hawaii. It's a common lunch window and convenience store food item down there, at the same level as hamburgers for the rest of the US.
So, this was a food we always kept on hand years ago for those Thursdays right before pay day when my husband and I were broke as hell and had to get creative for dinner! He would cube it up then fry it in a skillet with diced potatoes, mushrooms, and onions in butter. It was actually pretty damn good! This would follow broke Wednesday Manwich night😂❤
I think you officially got the only can of Spam that has ever gone bad. As a poor kid who grew up in Texas I have eaten allot of Spam. I actually prefer the Spam light now just because it’s lower in sodium.
American war time food. Not for Americans, for their army, Japanese (that they didn’t blow up) Hawaiians, js. They’re, indeed, some people’s comfort food. On this, though, there’s a whole shelf of canned meat you might want to try. Eg: Fry’s meat pie in a can, ham in a can, meat meals in a can … it has its own shelf in the supermarket.
i usually eat spam fried and with rice! some people eat it with seaweed and rice and cook it in different sauces to make spam musubi! I'd love to see you try this again with the different recipes ppl are suggesting :)
Jaime- I love this series!!! 😊😊😊 but $6.59 AMERICAN DOLLARS FOR A CAN OF SPAM? I thought groceries were bad in Toronto omg 😲. Anyways - 'everything is better when you fry it up' -Every Caribean Person Ever 😂
So glad you noticed that can had an air leak and had gone bad. My first thoughts was that can doesn't sound right, followed up by oh no please please please do not eat that. Cube the spam, pan fry till crispy and make fried rice with it. Or make masubi, its also amazing with eggs in the morning. You can eat spam cold but its WAY better hot and crispy.
I didn’t have spam until I moved to Hawaii. It’s a staple there. I learned to love it but the trick is you don’t just eat it by itself since it’s very salty. You add it to dishes like with eggs in noodles, fried rice or in Musubi. As an ingredient it adds just the right about or porky salty flavor.
Spam is used in a lot of Asian/Islander dishes. However, it’s like all “meat in a can” , it’s better when it’s grilled or cooked. It’s like Tuna straight from the can is great for the cat, but it needs more to be flavorful.
My mom used to fry a couple of sliced and then make a grilled cheese sandwich with the spam between two slices of cheese, it was really good, I’m going have to do that one of these days.
Spicy spam seared with hot peppers and shit goes hard. There was a spam cook-off at a camp I went to 13 years ago, and two groups actually tried making something great. I assume some members had eaten it before 😅
now you gotta try some Musubi! it's a Hawaiian dish. you pan fry some slices of spam with some sauce, then put it over a bit of rice. I like mine with egg and wrapped in nori. such a great snack!
If you grew up in Hawaii, you would be intimately acquainted with spam. There’s an amazing dish called spam musubi, which is grilled spam on rice with soy sauce and sometimes fried egg or scrambled eggs. Outstanding.
Try Spam Musubi! Rinse the Spam first then marinate in teriyaki sauce. Also nice to add tamagoyaki under the slice of Spam. Singing the Monty Python Spam song somehow helps too. Btw, the first can was bad. Maybe air got inside or it got too hot during shipping? It's not supposed to be yellow!
Spam is amazing if you fry it to a crisp and eat it with eggs. I went camping once and made refried bean and spam burritos over the fire, and they were amazing.
You should fry slices of it. It totally changes the flavor. Then cut small cubes of it and add it to fried rice. There are many Hawaiian recipes with Spam.
Hike for eight hours, mix it with some pasta, eat it outside looking at like a mountain ridge or something and this shit just hits like no other metal.
try low sodium and slice, always fry it a bit before you eat it, the best is spam musabi, rice balls and spam and sometimes pineapple like a sandwich. And dude, I have never seen a Spam come out like the first one! Good call.
Totally dig your open mindedness. Try scrapple next. Seriously one of the best things in the world. Just be sure you saute it over medium-low heat for a long time to ensure you get a nice crust. Maybe 8-10 minutes per side, sliced 3*8” thick.
Similar in flavor, MUCH better in texture, and readily available in your location, please try "Taylor Ham" pork roll. Yes, comfort food from New Jersey!
Ive never seen anyone eat it raw. But if cooked in little slices until crispy and browned on the outside it makes a lovely addition to some japanese rice, nori, and maybe a soft yolked egg.
Personal favorite application is to pan sear it and serve with eggs, on rice, or even on ramen. If you marinade it in some low sodium soy sauce, garlic, and sriracha for a bit it makes it that much better, but plain seared is also great.
I feel like it ends up the butt of a lot of jokes, but it's honestly just straight up delicious. probably not something anyone should eat too often if they can avoid it, but makes for a pretty wonderful treat now and then.
Man, the first one was surely gone bad. Not even the meat from the tins during my military service times, which were probably up to 20 years older than me at that time, looked like that.
Try frying it and then put it in the sandwich. Or, if you want to get fancy: Dice it into cubes, fry it, and add it to a Kraft Dinner. (With peas). HEAVEN
I remember when spam was the only meat we could even afford and we would eat it all the time, with the occasional boiled hot dog as a treat. These days, even with the steep incline in meat prices due to 'health taxes' It's among the more expensive meats you can buy, with the price per kilo being just a little higher than chicken. And the Hot dogs being more expensive still. Crazy
Dice the ham small, put in a hot pan then add some beaten eggs. Scramble together and just before done add pepper and a hand full of shredded sharp cheddar. Delicious!!!
Cubed up, fried up, thrown in some scrambled eggs with some velveeta cheese. I don't eat like this now, but if you want some comfort food in the morning, its delicious.
Hawaiians and Asians use spam a TON. Fried, in sushi, for breakfast, sandwiches. We eat it plain in a sandwich, fried in a sandwich, mashed up with pickles amd mayo (classic church sandwich), or fried as a meat with regular supper sides.
My man purchased the only can of spam that has ever gone bad

I remember when spam was the only meat we could even afford and we would eat it all the time, with the occasional boiled hot dog as a treat.
These days, even with the steep incline in meat prices due to 'health taxes' It's among the more expensive meats you can buy, with the price per kilo being just a little higher than chicken. And the Hot dogs being more expensive still. Crazy
Dude spam
Musubi recipe is absolutely amazing
Man, you should try that in kimchi fried rice. It's freaking heaven.
I was raised on Spam. Look up Gordon Ramsey, spam. I was shocked.
Dice the ham small, put in a hot pan then add some beaten eggs. Scramble together and just before done add pepper and a hand full of shredded sharp cheddar. Delicious!!!
Cubed up, fried up, thrown in some scrambled eggs with some velveeta cheese. I don't eat like this now, but if you want some comfort food in the morning, its delicious.
Hawaiians and Asians use spam a TON. Fried, in sushi, for breakfast, sandwiches.
We eat it plain in a sandwich, fried in a sandwich, mashed up with pickles amd mayo (classic church sandwich), or fried as a meat with regular supper sides.
