I would never buy any of the stuff for fear it would procreate in my pantry - in much the same way that Ramen noodles did in my college days. <br /><br />I remember tasting it once......never again!<br /><br />Namaste..........cjcj Schlottmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18217936774632262633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-352920971254096499.post-2194535993627368262011-08-09T02:08:20.338-07:002011-08-09T02:08:20.338-07:00Spam.

I haven't opened a can in 45 years. :-)<br /><br />It is interesting that these new generations think spam is a whole other thing.Deb Shuckahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03439395710731341021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-352920971254096499.post-18437971067321435432011-08-08T13:09:50.344-07:002011-08-08T13:09:50.344-07:00Oh man, blast from the past.

My father bought cases and cases of spam just to be sure that if the city was ever nuked or something and we were all forced to become underground-dwellers, we wouldn't starve. They used to sit under the basement stairs and collect dust, all eight cases of them filled with 24 cans each of spam. It was insane.<br /><br />I love how it's become internet wasteland food now.Elisa DeLanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06466740168508428362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-352920971254096499.post-32022099286706944122011-08-08T12:26:15.758-07:002011-08-08T12:26:15.758-07:00I'm glad you re-ran this, Katie.

But I also like "boot up" and "hack" and "crash" and "import" and all the others that have been applied to nudge us toward understanding what we're dealing with which is, of course, ever a mystery no matter what common knowledge words it comes with.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07247877396600721769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-352920971254096499.post-56825590519668209922011-08-08T11:45:24.363-07:002011-08-08T11:45:24.363-07:00Katie, it nice to meet you as well.

I'm not sure why mom kept buying it when none of us would eat it. I understand it's actually popular in Hawaii.

Spam and corned beef as part of a cold meat serving, yes, I remember that as a child.<br /><br />I did not develop a real aversion to either, they just sort of faded from my life.

You've got to scrape it off with a knife and leave it in a wobbly heap on the side of the plate. <br /><br />I was made to eat a lot of spam as a kid, it makes me go cold just thinking out it!Sarah Tokeleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13273148070092101085noreply@blogger.com
