Spam Sushi

[mrdreamjeans]

I was watching one of the local morning programs and they were doing a feature on Spam. Now, I've driven past the plant in Minnesota where Spam is made; I have friends who love to eat the product; but, I'm too aware of its contents to eat it myself:)

Here's the recipe of the day: Take Spam, divide it into slices and fry it. Take cooked steamed rice and pack it into the Spam container, so that it takes on the form of the can. Slice the rice. (It will fit the fried product exactly.) Wrap it in seaweed and you have Spam sushi. They also mentioned single, shrink-wrapped slices are available for those who would like to eat their Spam while they're commuting. Ummm ... I don't think so! LOL!

Yep, I'm going to join the chorus!! Spam rocks. I have many reasons but I'll give you my two...

I once got a bonus at work (which was just down the road from Austin, MN - home of Spam) so I bought stock in Hormel. Once, later, I desperately needed cash to buy a condo in California. Sold my spam stock for a tidy profit and bought the Condo That Spam Bought.

When I was little, one of our best family dinners was Spam. Mom would take it out of the can, into a pan, cross hatch it just like a ham and even add cloves! Then glaze and bake. Loved it then. Love it now.

You need to be a little more open minded about your processed meats, honey.

Love the connection you have with Austin, Minnesota. Now, your brother's in Austin, Texas:) Looks like Hormel did right by you!

As to processed meats .. I've never been one to like lunch meat, etc .. When I was a kid, I was so fussy, my mom would make me ketchup, mustard and pickle relish sandwiches and I'd pretend there was a burger! LOL!

HUGS!
