  • Whether you love or hate Spam, there is no denying that it’s a versatile food item that you can do a lot with. If you ever need to spruce up your fried rice, just add some Spam, and you’ve got yourself a hearty and carb-filled meal.
    You can even melt it with your favorite cheese in a quesadilla or roll it up into sushi, if you are not a fan of fish. This canned meat has been making it into households since the 1930s, and it will not slow down anytime soon.
    However, there is actually more to Spam than you know about. It has quite the history, so let's take a look at what you should know about Spam.

    I just tried spam for the first time today. I was actually kinda scared considering how many people seemed to hate it, but I fried it up, put it some bread and was pleasantly surprised. I got 12 slices out of 1 regular can and put 2 on the sandwich. That’s six meals for about $3.50, which I don’t think is that bad.

    Spam is a favorite food of Hawaiians many got hooked on it since WW2 when food was a bit scarce. It has found its way into many of the different cuisines on the Islands. I like it for its convenience and its salty taste and ham like texture that pairs perfectly in a Frittata with onions eggs potatoes and green peppers for Sunday morning breakfast or a Late Supper. It's also a good camping staple needing no refrigeration until its open. It is quite reasonable in price and one can serve 4 as an accompaniment to eggs home fries and toast. I always have a can in the pantry for a quick meal. Enjoy.

    Spam also helped Guam during and post wartime. The marines who liberated us gave us the spam to feed the people who were starving. Just like Hawaii it grew to be a big part of our food culture. You can see many similarities in recipes between us and Hawaii as well our own unique dishes. With all that said the number one recipe any islander can agree is the best is most definitely spam musubi. Every mom and pop selling it, as well as gas stations as well as local restaurants, and including the food giant McDonald’s offering it as a breakfast item. You can go into any home and certainly find a can or 2. From its affordability, long shelf life, and historic value it has on our island, it’s no wonder guam being a tiny island having hold the record as the number 1 consumer of spam hahaha
