The Spam company MUST release a Spam sampler pack! Small bites that allow you to check out the range without requiring the commitment of buying a complete tin.
I’m an avid spam lover, I love quite a bit of the different varieties and make it quite often. And I was looking forward to the maple one tremendously. But it sucked so bad lol
I used to go fishing as a kid and if we couldnt get any worms our sarnies would double up as bait. Spam was great. I'd like to see all of these tried by an angler. Just gor a laugh.
Are you guys ready for this? A little ways north of us, where the Spam came from, they have a SPAM museum. Yes, a Spam museum.Thought you should know that just for fun.
@@brucerobinson1284 Well, based on the maps in the American classrooms, try driving to Alaska first, then it appears to be just a short boat ride from there.
First Spam review I've ever watched, it made me wishing I had some in the cupboard for a fry up. We have regular, salt reduced and Hickory in our Australian supermarkets.
My wife and I love SPAM, We'll open a can, slice it, and make cold sandwiches with it. We put tomatoes, onions, lettuce, and mayonnaise on the sandwich with SPAM. You don't have to cook SPAM, it's good to eat right out of the can. We'll also slice it and bake it in the oven, and have it with fried eggs and hash for breakfast. My favorites are the Original SPAM, and the Hickory Smoked SPAM. Fun video guys, thanks for sharing it. JT Kentucky, USA.
meh. SPAM is much better when cooked. I agree with these gents pan frying it. Works great diced and mixed with eggs for breakfast, diced and mixed with fried rice, sliced & cooked and wrapped with rice for a musubi (a staple in hawaii). I never cared for it plain out of the tin though. to each their own.
5:03 "America, do better. Make Spam Great Again." "The can... the spam can... he came up to me... big can, tears in his eyes... he said, 'Sir... sir, you've got to pump me full of flavor. Just open me up and pump me.' So I did, and we won the trade war with Chinah, bigly time."
Spam stir-fry is my favorite way to eat it. I get the regular original SPAM for any dishes where SPAM is not the only thing in the dish. It give a good medium flavor that's not overpowering.
I live in a America and was born here. My family and I growing up parents and grandparents would cook the SPAM more and get a real good dark crisp crust on both sides. A bit thinner slices too.
....... you're saying, as a nation, you peaked at Spam?..... (now this would explain the same gun control regulations that allow people to take pot shots at each other and then say that the government can't do enough about gun access!)
Ironically my first ever school summer camp included our tutor singing the Spam song alongside Brown Girl in the Ring, just to alleviate our bad moods in wet british weather.... Still can't say i've tried it but loved Bacon Grill. Not sure if its a good processed food going by all UPF warnings today, I'd have to investigate. Love the vid though guys.
Loved this video! Had heard about all the fancy flavored SPAMs, but haven’t tried them yet. Appreciate the test run of flavor sensations. I feel full just watching you. As I watched I kept thinking “they’re gonna get the meat sweats!”😆 Always enjoy seeing you two enjoying your time together. Thanks for bringing some fun and laughter into our day. All the best from Indiana, USA.
When I was a kid we had Spam now and again, but I used to love to bread it and fry it up. YUM! These days I don't eat it, but do have several cans in my pantry for those times when groceries might be difficult to get and with the way things are going over here, you just never know what these clowns will do.
This is TH-cam at its finest. Two Englishmen sitting in the woods, on a summer's day in which it's threatening to pour with rain, sampling and ranking Spam like professional canned meat connoisseurs. I'm vegetarian and I still enjoyed watching that. I was with you on the prediction of maple being the best. I'm sorry but I couldn't help but chuckle at the utter wordless, blank disappointment when you both realised it wasn't living up to expectations! You both looked like a kid who opens their Christmas present and it's not quite the same item they asked Santa for, perhaps a knock-off version. 😆
Greetings From South Carolina. Cool Review. I haven't had Spam in years, and I'm American. Dad use to cook Spam back in the 1970s. Along with poached or sunny side up eggs, Buttery Grits. And toast or Biscuits. Dang, making myself hungry. Thanks for the Cool Video👍.
Only you guys can make an entertaining video reviewing Spam!! I felt your disappointment at the maple one! I fancy trying the Teriyaki one now! Cheers for a fun video Andy and Mark!😊
I somehow knew you guys would be disappointed with the maple one. Cos u put too much hope in it. This was a fun review. Thanks for taking one for the team and eating all that spam!
In our household the bacon spam is a once-a-week ritual for breakfast. Whenever we do fried rice, it is a huge fight between the Tocino and the Teriyaki. For cold Spam eating the original is the best with Hickory making a close second. If we could only have one flavor it would have to be the original flavor hands down.
That’s actually not true. It’s actually just short for spiced ham. It was created by Ken Daigneau the brother of a Hormel executive during a name contest for the canned meat product in 1937. He won $100 for his idea. It is not an acronym it is simply shortening Spiced Ham into spam.
Greetings from America. I completely got a kick out of your review of spam flavors something I have wanted to do but feared the ikk factor. Now i feel confident with a starting point i won't have to gag down. Love your channel
🙄 how many time do you eat fast food? And act like SPAM is something gross when it's just salted pork.... I'm sure you only eat homegrown lettuce and organic water sandwiches
I was raised in a family of 9 we ate the original spam several times a week. Back then it was real cheap amd only 1 flavor. Until i watched the video, to me, the other flavors were just lipstick on a pig. I will try them now thanks to the video. To be clear one of my favorite foods from the UK is blood pudding. Now i would eat that every day if I could consistently get my hands on it.
I've tried all of those except the Tocino. And I'm pretty much in agreement with you. I have had the hot and spicy, it is really spicier than I like in a sandwich. But the Hot and Spicey and the teriyaki are both good in fried rice for breakfast with a couple eggs on top.
Tocino means bacon in Spanish or pork belly. I’m from Florida and have only seen spam, spam light and jalapeño flavored spam. I love your channel. Follow you guys all over the UK virtually. Thanks for the fun and great content.
Loved this video as always Andy 😊 do U think not rinsing the pan out each time affected any of the flavours? Saying that though how annoying it would be to wash the pan that many times 😂
If you're in Aldi, try their version of spam. It's actually really good, made in USA so it might even be legit stuff rebranded. Available in Aussie Aldi shops anyway 👍
So awesome to see you guys eating all these flavors. Honestly though, you should have put a little more oil in the pan, just to coat things. Then again, I have to be mindful that you guys have sticks burning underneath.
I honestly prefer the off brand of spam and the bacon flavor is superior. It's the breakfast struggle meat in our house. Sliced and fried, goes great with eggs and toast. Also, one must rinse and dry their canned meat product. My husband argues with me, saying the jelly just helps it cook better. I think it produces enough of it's own fat to cook in, you don't need extra jelly. Also... spam gravy. Idk if it's a thing, but I use the fond from frying the spam to make white pepper gravy. I know y'all don't do white gravy in the UK so it's just a splash of water to de-glaze the pan, knob of butter, couple table spoons of flour, cook it out for a minute or two, pour in a couple cups of milk and pepper the heck out of it. Continuously stir 10 minutes later, gravy. I make bangers and mash and do the same thing when the sausages are done cooking. Made 'em last night actually.
my mom used a version of Spam ( I think in the Netherlands it's called Smac) in macaroni dish instead of minced beef, tried is again as a grown up it wasn't as nice as I remember ;-) Tocino is from the Philippines it has herbs, spices and sugar and the orange i thinks from the Anatto, the same stuff that makes cheese and Cheddar it's colour
I only eat the original and lower sodium recipes myself. In my opinion spam is at its best if cooked in a bit more olive oil than you used and at a lower heat for longer, till there is a thin encapsulation of light crispiness on both sides, served with home fries made w/ Maine potatoes and Vidalia😊 onions and two or three fresh eggs it’s part of a complete breakfast.
Brilliant,Can't help going a bit monty python in thought process while watching it.I can only ask,is there,truly,any more spammage that could possibly added to this,or is this really enough?As for me I'm spammed out guv,I can practically taste this video,bring on smell-vision in the future,in tents n' near em
Ahhh you almost got me! Almost started the video but wisely jumped ahead and saw it was the same person! Shouldn’t you be putting a youtube rain effect in front of the spam?? Bahahahaha
If you slice the Spam and rinse it, then cut along the lines, rinse, and boil for 5 minutes, then fry, you'll find it so good and significantly less salty.
Here in the US we dont have all of these available..except in Hawaii where they have the highest consumption of anywhere. And I have been through the factory tour very interesting and you missed a few flavors also which I have had In Hawaii and Musabi !
Can't believe I've just watched 15 mins of 2 blokes reviewing SPAM 🤣
Awesome video, and a great laugh.
Thanks for sharing.
🤣
😂😂😂
I know wow
I just got in a spam zone 😂
If they had 12 hours of army ration compo sausages I'd sadly watch all of it
There was so much Spam there I kept expecting Vikings to show up.
Or Pilipinos...
Vikings have absolutely nothing to do with spam 😂

The Spam company MUST release a Spam sampler pack! Small bites that allow you to check out the range without requiring the commitment of buying a complete tin.
Great idea!
Makes much sense
You are god head .absolutely brilliant
Commitment to a tin of Spam you say? Are you gainfully employed dear sir?
A SPAMpler pack, eh? 🤤
Aw the look of disappointment on you your faces when the maple was no good! Like opening a Christmas present as a kid and finding it was socks! 😂
In England, you need all the socks you can get your feet into! Ay, and not just your feet!
I’m an avid spam lover, I love quite a bit of the different varieties and make it quite often. And I was looking forward to the maple one tremendously. But it sucked so bad lol
The intense flavor of the delicious combo of bacon and maple syrup (sweet and savory) sets up maple spam for failure.
I live about an hour away from Austin, Minnesota. If you are ever there the Spam museum is pretty cool and I highly recommend visiting.
I just toured the museum for the 1st time, and bought 4 of these SPAM flavors to try.
Jalapeño spam, egg, and cheese on toasted sourdough is the best breakfast sandwich you'll ever make.
That sounds pretty good
Spam spam spam spam... remember the song..
Does that go "spam spam spam spam" or "spam spam spam spam", 2 very different rhythms
Can't remember the words 🤔
Yeah, Monty python 😂😂😂
"I don't loik Spam!" "I'll 'ave his Spam, I love it!"

You two tried more favors of spam than this American has ever tried in my 46 years. I'm going to have to expand my spam sampling. Great video 👍
Got me checking out the range at my local Woolies.....
Well bless your hearts! May the SPAM be with you, too! 🤣Thanks for taking one for the team. That was a risky adventure!
Spam just released a Korean BBQ flavor this week. Here in Hawaii we have ALL the flavors! We even have Spam flavored macadamia nuts.
I wonder when Amazon will get that Korean BBQ flavor I'm driving all they way to Hawaii to try that don't think my truck would make it 🙂
@@brucerobinson1284 Well, based on the maps in the American classrooms, try driving to Alaska first, then it appears to be just a short boat ride from there.
Take another map reading class.. it's about 3,000 miles or about 4,850 Klicks to a Brit
@@carolcurrans5649Brits still work in furlongs and yards, not really caught on with metric malarkey, at least not my generation.
That sounds yummy, I'll have to check out my local Walmart - it seems to have all the flavors. Spam, Spam, Spam
Hilarious!! "America do better!!" 🤣🤣🤣
"I think its a little artificial" 🤣😂😂😂 Class lads...
More of these food reviews if pos guys, had me in stitches!
Maybe foods from around the globe, I would def watch them.
Ill peraonally send vegemite 😁
*TRUMP 2024*
Never thought Spam could be that entertaining 😃👍
The video you didn’t know you wanted. I’m tempted to try some spam.
Love the British completely non-emotive deadpan regardless of whether you loved or hated something lol
You should definitely do more food reviews. That was fun 😂
A really fun video, great idea Andy! And for the first time,a video of yours that didn't make me hungry!
Love spam, it’s the national dish of Hawaii. Sold everywhere, in wraps, sushi, etc
Monty Python references incoming!
Luvverly spam

Thank you for bringing joy to the world Andy - you’re just great
Make Spam Great Again is definitely a new tshirt!! I buy low sodium but can't really tell the diff from origina! I will try the terrain now.
Brill well done a great camping food. Just realised spam backwards is maps. So a good slogan would be "you'll never get lost with spam"
You can't go wrong with spam ?
Hickory is my favorite one. I fry a bit harder than you did. Nice video and thanks for sacrificing your health for us.
Great idea on the prodigious Spam taste-off. This was great fun to watch. Bravo and Hear! Hear!
This worked really well for me. Odd subject matter helped but the dry humour was the killer.
My wife and I love SPAM,
We'll open a can, slice it, and make cold sandwiches with it. We put tomatoes, onions, lettuce, and mayonnaise on the sandwich with SPAM. You don't have to cook SPAM, it's good to eat right out of the can.

The soggy biscuit joke was so unexpected but so class

Come to Austin, Minnesota, US, and go to the Spam Museum. It’s open seasonally, so check time.
I knew about Duck, Deer, and Elk, Now there's a Spam season?

I love spam singles when backpacking and wish they made those in flavored varieties. I'm definitely going to try the tocino, terryaki and jalapeno!
A spam tasting session.
Brilliant 😂

Your friend is great to. Takecare
Blimey that’s made me hungry! 😂
Thanks for doing this guys Ive been tring to find a good Spam flavor, I didn't like Bacon or Smoke eather
If you're in Aldi, try their version of spam. It's actually really good, made in USA so it might even be legit stuff rebranded. Available in Aussie Aldi shops anyway 👍
Is it the Brookside brand? That's what we have in the US, and it takes just like regular Spam to me.
So awesome to see you guys eating all these flavors. Honestly though, you should have put a little more oil in the pan, just to coat things. Then again, I have to be mindful that you guys have sticks burning underneath.
I had teriyaki and hot and spicy. Both good to me. Eat on white bread with yellow mustard, cut thin and fried crispy.🇺🇸

Continuously stir 10 minutes later, gravy. I make bangers and mash and do the same thing when the sausages are done cooking. Made 'em last night actually.
Just a really light hearted and fun video! Sorry the Maple couldn't live up to the expectations hahaha
my mom used a version of Spam ( I think in the Netherlands it's called Smac) in macaroni dish instead of minced beef, tried is again as a grown up it wasn't as nice as I remember ;-) Tocino is from the Philippines it has herbs, spices and sugar and the orange i thinks from the Anatto, the same stuff that makes cheese and Cheddar it's colour
I only eat the original and lower sodium recipes myself. In my opinion spam is at its best if cooked in a bit more olive oil than you used and at a lower heat for longer, till there is a thin encapsulation of light crispiness on both sides, served with home fries made w/ Maine potatoes and Vidalia😊 onions and two or three fresh eggs it’s part of a complete breakfast.
