Fucks sake

[numbers]

Listened to the 4 o' clock show the other week. Discovered that Spam is hugely popular in Hawaii. Who knew?

(can't think what reminded me of it)

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

If you listened to that, you must have no friends. Does it make you angry?

[FJDGoose]

Spam? Yum

[unlurked]

Philippines/philippinos love spam too.

[silverfox]

If you were hungry you'd eat it - stop being such a snob

[Laddy Muck]

I thought this was about a certain Japanese alcoholic beverage and bonking.

[Jeremy]

Also massively popular in Korea, HK... most of Eastern Asia as far as I can work out.

[Annette Curtain]

Spam is ver popular in Japan too

Nowt wrong with Spam once every few months/years

Grew up at a Catholic boarding school where Battered Spam Fritters were served + chips

And look how well I turned out !

Who's being a snob? I didn't say anything bad about spam. I was expressing surprise that it was popular in Hawaii. Eaten with everything, any way you like. Curried, sushi, etc.

RTFT in future.

PGC nail on head.

I wish you'd post more, you're one of my favourite posters on here.

you could be forgiven for thinking that LM. Maybe that's popular in Hawaii too?! ;-)

Blimey - Jeremy, Netts. I am fast learning that spam is very popular everywhere but here with the small exception of catholic boarding schools.

had spam sandwiches (and corned beef) at a 1940s railways at war event. Lovely it was too.

SPAM FACT:

Residents of Hawaii eat an average of four cans of SPAM per person per year, more than in any other place on the planet.

[El Pibe]

Huguenot(RIP) used to eat it straight out the tin. Up there with nose picking as habits go.

Loving the spam fact.

I loved spam fritters at school, followed by chocolate sponge and chocolate custard.

[Jah Lush]

Someone had to do it.

I loved spam fritters at school too.

Crispy outside and juicy inside.

Don't remember much about the puddings apart from something we called snot pudding which was leftover cold semolina smeared on top of leftover cold pastry.

The kids who had to stay on Friday afternoon for music lessons were "lucky" enough to get that for lunch. Yum. Maybe Jamie Oliver could resurrect it for his money saving programme.

I've not had spam fritters for over 30 years. I loved 'em

The spam fritter revival starts here.

Mashed tinned salmon (with a bit of vinegar in it) and cucumber sandwiches have made a comeback here of late.

One must wait for the half price tins though, to be thrifty.

Balsamic vinegar is the only upgrade. Otherwise, the dish remains unchanged from being 7 at my Nan's house.

I HATED spam fritters at school. Still can't stand that horrid salty rubbery nastiness (I've not actually eaten spam in years, but that's how I remember it).

What with the minging spam fritters followed by disgusting rice pudding, I'd often sit there all lunch time refusing to eat a bite. I begged my mum to give me sandwiches instead. I'm really not a picky eater, but there's a line I won't cross.

[*Bob*]

Actually that's not quite true on the upgrade front.

I'm sure the spread of the day back then would have been either Vitalite or - worse still - Stork.

SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM and SPAM. :)

Not even lumpy mashed potato from an ice cream scoop Jeremy?
