      Ex-cook here! creativity is your friend when cooking the only two experience and knowledge skills you really need are knowing how not to blast the fuck out of your food "Heat is the enemy of flavor" being a well known saying in kitchens, and how to season by feeling. You can always start by following recipes to learn the basics and like my old sous chef used to say it's easier to add more seasoning than remove it. If you wanna make great food for cheap think of recipes you grew up with and use technique to make it better trust me you can always make a pb&j sandwich taste like a $20 sandwich by adding some nice cheese and frying it in butter.

    My Grandmother would love this. She lived through the great depression in Newfoundland, Canada and never stopped eating like it. Even when I was growing up in the 90's it was all soups, stews, spam sandwiches, hotdogs & beans etc. And it's funny because now, even though I have money of my own to eat other things, those budget meals are still some of my go-to comfort foods.

      @@D4NNYF00 Honestly, it's pretty fair that he wins a majority of but betters, the goals of the foods that he goes up against have significantly different priorities that he does. The foods that he compares to often have to be either shelf stable for months if not years, easily reheatable from frozen, or easily and quickly made by a barely trained minimum wage employee while also minimizing costs wherever possible; while Josh's food only has to be as good as possible for at most 20 to 30 minutes after they are made, so Josh is almost guaranteed to win a blind taste test.
      This does well to show that making food yourself will pretty much always be more rewarding if you buy something pre-cooked, but he sometimes fails to understand that the point of fast or microwaved foods is to maximize convenience while lowering costs, which makes parts of this series feel disconnected from reality sometimes.

    A fun fact about Spam is that it was dying out as very few people were eating it, because people had got tired of it after the war, as it was excessively available and widely eaten during that period, and after the war ended actual agricultural foods became available again.
    Until the Spam sketch with a song by Monty Python, and then it being on their album, revived it and put it back into the public consciousness in the 70’s, and suddenly it became popular and profitable again.

      Lol of all the European countries, you guys are definitely the one i'd have pegged for inventing it before we imported it along with German immigrants and made it American. Kind of ironic when you consider why it became so popular in the US in the first place, both during the later half of the depression and then WWII it was a staple food product, and it was well liked among the troops since it gave them a good high protein and calorie source of food that they could combine with basically anything to make a delicious meal. I've been trying to learn to use more cheaper ingredients rather than cooking lots of beef, and Spam is definitely something I've been meaning to incorporate more of at some point since my sister already has mutsubi molds as well that I can borrow lol.

    I ABSOLUTELY love Spam! Grew up with it, ate it on sandwiches, for breakfast (spam n' eggs is goated), or just plain as is, straight out of the can lol. I don't care if it smells like cat food, Spam will always hold a special place in my heart... or it's a clogged artery, idk. Though, if I could make a suggestion: scrapple. Scrapple was described to me as "everything but the oink". To me, it tastes like bacon on steroids. It's super crispy, and crunchy, and like Spam, I also really enjoy Scrapple too. Thank you for all the content, it's something I've started looking forward to after a long day of work.

    Spam's recipe changed in 2009 when they started adding potato starch. If you remember cans of spam before that, there was usually a layer of gelatinized fat and proteins that many people found visually off putting. This was a by-product of the fact that spam is actually cooked in the cans at the factory. The potato starch keeps that bound in the emulsification as it cooks, so there isn't such a layer of gelatinized fat and proteins around the outside.

      @akularz-shati2047 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@920hammy If you want to eat it without cooking, I would recommend that you cook it until the internal temperature is about 70°C. When I followed this recipe here, I only got about 40°C, which is too little to eat it raw. I used the oven method, as I don't own a Sous Vide machine.
      As to the lasting time... phew. Honestly, mine never lasts longer than a week, because it is eaten by then. But I don't think it'll last longer than two weeks, because you won't be able to work in a sterile environment at home, like it is done in factories.
      Same applies for storing it. You definitely have to keep your homemade SPAM in the fridge, since you can't work sterile at home.
      Hope that helps!
