I have a hangover. I bought these little single slices of spam in a CVS on a trip to the US recently. You also need to get Pam imported from the states as you can't buy it here. There were also frozen hashbrown triangles baking in the oven at the time of this photo, and a slice of sourdough bread in the toaster.
I tried looking it up but I'm still not exactly sure what "Pam" is ... but I do hate it.
so its called a non-stick cooking spray.
the egg on the can is just to indicate what a lot of people use it to keep from sticking.
its basically a fine vegetable oil under compression in an aresol can like a spray paint pan.
psshh you spray it on your frying pan and it creates a fine layer of oil so food doesnt stick
Tell me you are from USA with just a picture lol, joking.
no youre not wrong
there are international varieties of spam available elsewhere though, ma-ling par examplé
ma-ling
interesting! thanks.
Drink a glass of water before passing out!
Then enjoy this without the hangover!
😂
yeah one glass of water before sleep will absolutely help, but it will not completely get rid of a hangover.. not how heavily I drink, anyway
I'll have the spam, spam, eggs, and spam!
You forgot the baked beans.
And spam.
Wife: Have you got anything without spam?
Waitress: Well, there's spam egg sausage and spam, that's not got much spam in it.
Wife: I don't want ANY spam!
Man: Why can't she have egg bacon spam and sausage?
Wife: THAT'S got spam in it!
Man: Hasn't got as much spam in it as spam egg sausage and spam, has it?
Spam hits just right sometimes. I've brought those spam singles camping and made spam and mashed potatoes in the backcountry and spam fried rice while car camping.
you could do way worse
Grilled spam+grilled pineapple+teriyaki sauce on a Hawaiian roll (or over rice). 🤤
sounds very east meets west island-y
did you have this in hawaii?
It's from Hawaii, but I've never been there.
Huh, I've never seen Spam sold as slices, just in the usual can.
What would be the closest 'meat product' to Spam where you live?
Far as I remember, Spam is some kind of ham blend, maybe more basic than bratwurst, let's say.
ps very different flavor profile, brats to spam. brautwurst is spiced in a very specific way that tastes like bratwurst, which of course tastes different than bockwurst or weißwurst.
spam tastes like spam... its just a specific spice mix in the meat slurry.
spam tends to be a finer ground than lots of brauts ive had in germany. varies by make of course.
the phillipino ma-ling one is far more coarse with little blocks of fat and denser bits speckled throughout
So you're a world traveler, eh? You must have seen plenty of interesting food & cultural items.
I haven't been back to Europe since... shit, it's been over 30yrs, now. :S
dang sounds like its time to come back around. obviously really good and diverse food all over europe.. I find northern germany to be terribly underrated food wise
I'm in Singas, and there's a Danish canned pork (luncheon meat) that we buy on occasion. It's cheaper and better tasting than spam.
honestly you can get something very similar here, ma-ling comes to mind. its phillipino but its shipped all over the world
One thing I miss to hell where I live now is a chain Asian supermarket named "H-Mart." I'm trying to remember back whether they might have had this...
At the same I see it's actually a product of Holland?
A lot of Asian markets, at least around me, carry kind of a lot of spam and spam-like products (often called something like "luncheon meat")
I think a lot of it has to do with the US military having a big presence in Asia during WWII, Korea, Vietnam, etc. and still having sizable bases in Japan and Korea. They brought spam with them and it made its way into the local diet from there.
It's big in a lot of Pacific islands for basically that same reason.

Damn, that's... kinda heavy. oO
yes, I stand corrected, looks like its made in holland, its popular in the phillipines, not made there.
thats probably better for quality control, just a guess
Gotta get the Spam out of the pan with your spatula you got from Spatula City.
I dont remember where this came from.. is this a reference to film or something?
Spatula City -> Weird Al's movie, UHF
Spam -> Weird Al's song, Spam
well fuck me.
for the record, im a reasonably big weird al fan. I had his casettes as a kid and saw him live a few years ago,
I was never really into uhf. I should probably give it another swing
Jealous!
UHF is so good, though! I also like Alapalooza.
The animals that suffered atrocity to produce this meal had the capacity to love you, but you lack the capacity to love them.
Maybe they shouldnt be so tasty then
A truly monstrous response to confronting your own cruelty and violence. Clearly said for your own crippled emotional needs. Cope harder.
🥓
I do love how they taste!
By intentionally conflating senses of the word "love" you are conceding the point. You lack the capacity to love that you should have, but you have maimed yourself to the point where you cannot. Recovery is possible.
Well, I did love your mum and she's a cow.
I'm not sure any animals were involved in this meal besides the chicken(s) that laid the eggs. I don't care what the label in the span can said.
If you didn't know deep down that it was wrong, you wouldn't be using humour to distance yourself emotionally and trivialize the harm. This is very similar to for example how Israelis talk about Gazans. What you do to animals you will also do to humans given the slightest incentive and that is not a joke. That is something that any decent person should try to rectify upon recognizing in themselves.
“Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly… They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert.”
— Jean-Paul Sartre, Anti‑Semite and Jew
The eggs come in... a can? What? Why not just, I don't know, buy some eggs?
lol no the eggs are eggs. the pam can is a non-stick cooking spray. basically just vegetable oil in a pressurized can you spray on the pan instead of adding butter
Pam is oil in a can, not eggs in a can
No, that's "PAM," a non-stick spray.
There is such a thing as powdered eggs, btw. I first discovered that in my college's cafeteria.
Ah, phew.
Making an omelette with eggs in a can and spray cheese.
I vaguely recall a saying: "so you wish it, so mote it be."
And now I'm terrified...
