Canned

I found out that people have pretty strong opinions about Spam. My father said mom's Spam with cloves and brown sugar glaze was the best. My sister said it was awful. My husband was pretty sure he did not want to try it. It couldn't be worth eating because his mother never cooked it. Vince, from Triology, Velvet, and Longboards said oh yeah it's great especially with a Hawaiin twist. I asked my friends and invoked memories of other mystery meats: deviled ham, Vienna sausages, chipped beef, beans and franks, and military rations.

I sliced it thin and pan fried it and then baked it with a mushroom sauce and a baked egg. I fixed the leftovers to give to dad, baked Spam with cloves, brown sugar, and pineapple. I could eat it again, but why?. At $2 something for a 7 oz can why wouldn't you buy a boneless ham or a regular ham for less and skip the processed taste, fat, and salt.
