I worked at Armour for 2 years. Treet is essentially Vienna Sausage meat that's formed into a loaf. It has added ingredients to change the flavor.
WOW, cool! Thank you for that information.
I hate Vienna sausauge
it changes the flavor allright, it goes from nasty to disgusting...
You are a hero. Whistleblowers like you seldom get the credit they deserve. We are starting a patreon in your name so you can defend the oncoming legal attack the federal governement is likely to bring. Guys like you and Snowden are too little appreciated today. God bless you!
That's actually exactly what I guess by looking at the ingredients list. Cool!
Grew up eating them both, easy way to remember for me is Spam rhymes with ham wich is what spam tastes like to me, the Treet tastes more like bologna or hot dogs. But both were really good sliced thin and fried crispy, on bread with mustard and tomato after getting out of the pool back in the 80's. LOL
My crack addicted wife really loves both of these. I save a lot of money on food, and she can't pawn the cans of treat or spam for crack. I was surprised when she was able to get $1.20 for 21 eggs we had in the fridge. I guess you can get some money for anything if you really are desperate enough. One day she came back with the Treet and Spam, but the eggs were gone..so I figured the pawn shop or flea market isn't taking the Treet or the Spam..It's worked out, she's put on 15 pounds. We appreciate the review!
This sort of information really helps the REAL people out there, trying to get by, and figure out what food their crack addicted wife can't pawn or flea market. We appreciate it.
EDIT: My crack addicted wife found a typo, so I corrected it.
Wtf??🤣😂🤣
Nice to know the person you suppose to love and cherish. That you refer to the other other side of you that make you ONE, as a crack addicted. WOW
@@Thunderfromafar Why, you're right, it is nice.
I never saw it that way. Thank you for your insights! You are obviously a wise person - maybe an old soul!
I live in the Republic of Panama and buy canned meats to have on hand in case of an emergency. I no longer buy Treet. The cans rust and lose their seal. After 4 or 5 years that is. If you have a lot of canned meats stored and stacked and a can leaks you have to go thru the cans, find the leaker and remove it. Then you have to clean up all the rest of the cans that have juice on them. The odor is terrible. Treet is a a bad product for prepping. I have thrown away so many cans of Treet. I have never lost a can of Spam. Even after 10 or more years of storage in my climate, Spam is still intact and safe to eat. Do not buy Treet for prepping. There are other brands that do not stay sealed as well. Stick with Spam for long term storage.
When I was dirt poor Treet was the only meat I could afford. I used the sharp edge of the lid as a knife and cut pieces to eat out of the can.
Sucks to be poor.
We've all been there.
@@josephgaviota True that.
We were so poor we could not pay attention.
As ham is better than bologna, and as sausage is better than hot dog wieners, so too is SPAM better than TREET. I’ve always loved SPAM. I used to treat TREET as simply inferior. However, once I came to a fundamental change in my attitude and thinking about both products, I began to appreciate TREET more than before. Instead of treating TREET as inferior, I began to simply consider it to be different. So then a ham sandwich is better and quite different than a bologna sandwich, also a sausage dog to a hot dog. Yet, that doesn’t mean that a bologna sandwich or hot dog is a bad thing. So too is SPAM to TREET.
You are so right. Thank you for your explanation.
Hey Bud, the Treet Original is made with Chicken & Pork and that's why it tastes like a cheaper, non-beef hotdog. The SPAM is ham and pork. Armour makes a luncheon meat that is all pork and is pork and thus, the real competeitor to SPAM. This was an UNFAIR comparison.
Is the Armour luncheon meat in a can? If so, the Spam excepts the challenge.
@@foodfights6904 I think you mean Spam ACCEPTS the challenge. The other is used when you take exception to something.
Thanks for notching. lol
I like them both. The sandwiches I make with them are amazingly good.
Treet is the poor mans spam.
Or Spam is rich mans Treet.
They sell em in little packets too . Ok you’re making me crave spam now 😋
I wish I would have know about the little packages earlier. Thanks for the info.
👍🏼 🧡
Canned meat is great for camping. Have gone thru a fair amount of both products. Prefer Treet when I can get it; Spam has more market share.
Armour Treet Spam Original: Sodium 480mg SPAM Classic: Sodium 790 mg
Figure out the taste and which one is more MSG
Thanks for the info.
Fried Tweet FTW!
Everything tastes better fried.
They make a "reduced-sodium" version of Spam which I prefer over the original. I remember Treet from my childhood. It was cheaper than Spam which is probably why my parents bought it. When meat was almost impossible to find 2 1/2 years ago Treet was the only canned meat on the grocery store shelf. I bought several cans, thinking it should taste the same as it did 50-60 years ago. It doesn't! It was gross. I later found some of the reduced-sodium Spam, and it was great. Tasted just like I remember Treet. We always just sliced it (either one) into slices, dumped some brown sugar on top, and heated it through. Never tried it fried, but it sounds good.
Treet is much cheaper than Spam. As of now, Spam is $3.58 per 12 oz can while Treet is only $2.08 at Walmart. But there are several varieties of Spam (Lite, less sodium, various flavors) while there is only one Treet version.
For some reason spam was 4 bucks but treet was 53 cents at my walmart. Wild
I never knew how popular Spam was until I started watching South Korean food videos-like they eat it with nothing on it...fry it up and just take bites out of it: amazing
I know, its crazy isn't it?
We have an item locally called scrapple... which is a mixture of lived and cornmeal and is generally fried... I’ve never had it (hate liver) but some people here adore it...
Scrapple? Thanks for the warning. Even though I would try it I think I can safely say that I wouldn't like it. But then again who knows. Thanks.
when i was in virginia a few years back they had scrapple, my dad could not find it for like 30 years and once he had it again he dident like it lol. Not a fan myself.
Tried Scrapple many, many moons ago in Deleware and didn't care for it. Anything liver-related I just can't eat.I do like both Spam and Treet though.
When I hear scrapple I think of the crispy leftovers of fried batter that Captain Ds puts in your to-go box with the fish.
For some reason, we always had fried Treet with stewed potatoes when I was growing up. I think Treet was the choice because it was much cheaper than Spam back then. I still have still eaten the combo but Treet is now a bit too salty for my taste now so I'll probably be switching to Spam, which I like.
The problem is the type of people that eat a lot of TV dinners canned food and bologna. Tend to like the taste of the treat better. Because those types of people do not prefer fresh tasting in fresh ingredients. I have a 68-year-old mother-in-law. That has the pallet of a five year old from the 1980s. For instance I grew up eating and making sauce with my Italian immigrant grandparents. So when I make a I use all fresh ingredients in seasoning. I use fresh diced onions for onion flavor same with garlic fresh garlic fresh parsley etc. My mother-in-law prefers sauce made with what I call mummified seasonings dehydrated and a shaky shaker. Her idea of a good homemade sauce. Is to start off with either hunts or the cheapest store brand tomato puree plopped into a pot with a generous shake of mummified seasonings from her cabinet from the '80s. A big shake of onion powder garlic powder and a big giant shaking of a dried out Italian seasoning mix that says authentic Italian seasonings. Which is a shaky bottle of everything but the kitchen sink. I read the back of that Italian seasonings. It consists of dry basil dry parsley Rosemary tyme cumin chili flakes and four or five other things that I forgot that are not Italian. She thinks any food made with fresh seasonings or vegetables are disgusting. She has grown up her whole life eating only processed foods and 90% of her cooking is microwavable. Her poor husband has suffered eating her terrible food for years. Because when I made them a fresh sauce. She was very vocal of how she did not like it. She asked her husband if he liked it and he was quickly like yes. She said is it better than the sauce I make any quickly said yes.lol sorry for the long story but I really like the psychology of why people prefer some other foods than others.
Not a fair test as it appears Spam is a comfort food from your childhood... However, I agree that the differences are quite real. Of course, I love vienna sausage..
There's a company called Hereford that makes a version of this stuff. Has anyone tried it? I bought it recently but haven't tried it yet.
I have had it. It sits somewhere in between the two.
@@Scott-fj9uf I've bought it twice since I posted this comment and I agree with you completely.
They both look like something you would feed your cat.
Just tonight my son cooked some slices of meat. I went to kitchen and thought it looked funny because we usually have spam. So I cut off bite and I could immediately tell it wasn't spam. I asked him. He said it was treet I told him th
That was a wanna be spam. Spam so much better.
Its completely different tbh
I know a lot of people who love spam! I’ve never had either and don’t intend to, but if I had to try one it’d be spam as I hate hotdogs and bologna... I also hate mushy textures...
The Spam really is much better, especially fried.
Yes... abt an hour from Lancaster...
Spam has the new(er) 25% less sodium.
To me, regular Spam always had too much salt. To me the 25% less, still salty, but MUCH BETTER !!
Spam cannot be beat.
Thanks again!
I bought 2 cans of Treet opened 1 can and had to force myself to eat it! Didn't expect it to taste like that. Spam more expensive but has a better taste.
The Treet is not a treat to me.
its actually the fat that makes a canned meat taste good, whiter meat loaf means more fat.
Thanks makes perfect sense. Thanks.
I Put it in the frying Pan.
And some scrambled eggs
Folks, Please! Don't use a knife to empty your cans like this. Open the can,. flip up side down and use a can/bottle opener/punch and and poke a hole in the bottom. This will allow teh air to escape from behind the product.
For those saying Spam, Treet, and the like, are too salty, watch this video: th-cam.com/video/SF63mmFf7zw/w-d-xo.html length 5:02
Easy-Peasy Lemon-Squeezy.
for all those who think spam is better than treat then get ready because your next meal is coming it's called the human stake
Yikes. Thanks for watching.
Both are better fried. I’ll use treet in a grilled cheese over spam any day.
I actually like the treat better plus it's about half the price and I think it tastes better and crisps up better..
I eat canned meats all the time. I eat it all straight outta the can including the spam type products.
Spam taste better!
It sure does.
I find the Treet seems to be lass salty than SPAM
Armour is the correct name.
Spam worth the extra cash.
Thanks.
SPAM beats Treet
How dumb, spam has 710mg sodium, threet has 790.🙄 keep saying it taste like ham and salty. Anything made with pig is automatically salty. Plus look at bacon. Of course it’s pig, the more you that, the more saltier it gets.
Spam taste better than Treet hands down.
I bet the food people give to their pets is better than this stuff for poor people. Oh well, so is the plight of being low-class.
Treet has less sodium, you person. Treet is better for you , of the two.
Hit job.
Yes.
Spam is good, Treet is awful
Treet was no treat.
EZ. Treet wins! Don't forget the Miracle Whip!
Both are substitutes for the "real" food.
Yuck. Hot dog meat (?) without the casing.
I hate raw spam...
I can understand that.
Actually spam is fully cooked right out of the can...but I agree that frying it does taste better.
@@sheriwilson7063 I'm with Sheri.
My grandmother calls spam spork
That's interesting because my grandmother calls a spork spam.
I Love both
Thank you for that!
Some of you just don't no what you are talking about treat is an all was Will be the best spam will never make it I have tried both an I will eat treat an it will be here after spam is long gone
Score another one for Treet.
"treat is an all was Will be"???
My friend you are supposed to wash them before eating them pre cooked
Really? I have never heard of the before. Thanks.
ummm.....NO
@@JamesWrightjr yeah because their is a jelly type thing on it
I think it's a matter of preference. I usually give it a quick rinse.
I don't think you need to wash it. I'm pretty OLD, and have NEVER washed SPAM.
