      If things were tight that month Mom mad pancakes 🥞 and put sugar, if we had it, in the pancake 🥞 burrito. I hate pancakes. I would have preferred the potted meat.
      I guess when you are hungry and your stomach is empty enough you will eat potted meat.

    Hi! I used to work in meat packaging. (I know. It sounds raunchy.) The reason so many things are mixed with pork is because pork is a very... malleable meat. You can mix it with just about anything to make it easier to work with/spread, and it has a relatively mild taste compared to most meats.

    "What is potted meat?"
    Before refrigeration, they'd put the meat in actual clay pots, then seal the pots with a layer of fat to preserve it by keeping all the air out. They had to make sure there was no air at all inside, so they'd mash the meat up to ensure there were no air pockets.

      +Derek Currie Botulism was a non-zero risk the same way it's a risk today when making pickled eggs, and for the same reason, but it's rare enough that people risked it then and risk it now. I've been making pickled eggs all my life and haven't contracted botulism yet, although I know there's a tiny risk it could happen. As Barbara Danley points out, they'd probably notice the smell if it did go off. And potted meat was only kept for a few weeks at most; it wasn't long-term preservation like smoking or drying, which reduced the risk.

Spam is also commonly served in saimein, a noodle soup similar to ramen popular in Hawaii. And of course, Spam and rice is common too. Spam is also somewhat popular in Japan, so it may just be that Spam goes better with Asian/Pacific dishes than it does in Western food. But aside from Spam musubi, it should NEVER be served cold.

    Grew up eating SPAM - grandparents ate it regularly. Traditional SPAM is a solid that is best sliced and fried crispy.
    It was developed in 1937 and was served to US troops in WWII. The spreadable meats are fantastic with cheese and crackers.

    The non-spreadable version of spam is much better. Especially if you slice it and give it a quick pan frying.
    The potted meat isn't really my thing, but its basically the same thing as Vienna sausages just not formed. Also very similar to a hot dog before it's been formed in a casing. Which is why it looks revolting, since it's emulsified meat.

    I wouldn't consider myself having a poor childhood, but I remember asking my mom to get some canned meat all the time because I really liked it.

    Not toast. The donor got it exactly right. Spreadable meat goop goes "best" with saltines.

      Depends on what it is.
      The Underwood stuff is so pricey that it goes better with a Ritz (just to convince yourself it was ACTUALLY worth it.)
      The $0.38 can of potted meat, however, well, discount saltines are too High Class for it...

    Potted meat was originally boiled meat, cleared of fat, ground to a meal and put in pots, sealed with the fat as a stopper on top to preserve the meat for several weeks. a method from before canning.

    I love Spam and Potted Meat, always have. Growing up in a single parent home with 3 siblings, our mom had to stretch her money as far as she could, so we often had things like this for lunch and snacks. And i still eat them today.

    My grandmother used to give me Underwood sandwiches when I was a little kid lol. I’m over 50 now and I have a can of it in my cabinet right this second! It’s like a bizarre comfort food at this point.

      I always have Underwood Deviled Ham and Chicken in my cabinet in case I just want a quick sandwich. Both are really good IMO. They aren't the prettiest thing to look at, as the fat separates out and should be mixed when opened.
