How do yall feel about Spam ?

[joagain]

Tyler loves thin sliced fried spam it is very low carb and he will eat it for lunch sometimes and not have to take a shot  it is gross before you cook it  but I like it fried also (I buy the reduced sodium kind) .
  I have even cut it in cubes but in pan with butter ,little onion & cauli rice . Pretty good that way too but Tyler likes everything plain . He has a food texture problem . I was just wondering what yall guys think about it 

 Have a good day !

I was raised on it! I haven't bought it in years because I try to stay away from processed food but I like it.

I never liked it as a kid, but my husband was born in Hawaii (military family) and it's huge there. I do like it when it's cubed and fried well, especially with eggs. I know there are tons of recipes for it, but I haven't tried doing much with it.

Spam seems to be one of those foods that people either love or hate.
Like Rena says, how it's prepared can make a big difference.

Straight out of the can, I thinks it's gross.
But something magical happens to it when it's fried.
Of course, I'm not a fan of raw bacon either.

I've never been a fan of Spam no matter how it was fixed, but  the "boys" in the family like it.  While updating my "hurricane box" (hurricane season started last week and runs for 6 mos), I came across a can and decided to fix for the oldest boy in the family - DH.

I shredded the spam, sliced some onion, added some Walden Farms BBQ sauce and cooked 'till onions were soft.  Put some "pulled Spam" in a Joseph's pita pocket and topped with coleslaw.  DH loved it, and I didn't think it was too bad - I think the coleslaw and BBQ sauce helped distract me. 

The spam had 6 carbs for the can, pita pocket = 2, BBQ = 0; coleslaw (recipe on FTS recipe board) = 1.  We got 4 "Pulled Spam" sandwiches out of this for under 5 carbs.   Certainly not a yummy Park Ave pulled pork sandwich, but it sure is lower in carbs!!   (I've also thrown in shredded cheese, mayo and cream cheese and made a dip out of the spam.)

I used to LOVE chunked up SPAM in my Mac and Cheese  I've just put it on the grocery list! I'm going to make macafoney and cheese this week with SPAM! Thanks for the reminder Jo 

[joagain]

you are welcome Doug I just said that this morning that I was going to by the stuff to make macafoney and cheese !

[Rena]

I need to try the Macafony & Cheese still. And with the way our economy is going, it probably wouldn't hurt to stock up on some SPAM, too. 

[joagain]

get spam lite it is better then the regular . The regular is greasy and salty . 

[Rena]

Thanks, Jo. I've never tried the Lite version.

I like it cubed and fried to put on top of a salad.  I have found a brand of canned ham that is 0 carb that I prefer to spam.  It is Royale, a Canadian canned ham.  I find them at Family Dollar. I like to use it in omlettes.

Fried, topped with cheese in eggs or in a low carb wrap with sugar free mayo, lettuces, etc.   yummy been a while.

Oh I love spam sliced really thin and fried!  Back before FTS, I used to eat it on white bread with lots of yellow mustard.  Thanks for the idea of putting it in a Joseph's pita!!  Yum!!!! 

[joagain]

Yes spam melted cheese on the pita will probably be lunch today !!!
