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!

I'm not saying it is the healthiest of foods, but those of us that were born to depression era parents probably had spam as one of our first solid foods. My mother did not serve it often, but found many ways to prepare it when she did. It was one of those things she knew everyone but my father would eat with no complaints. The last time I had it was when we were in Maui a couple of years ago. Spam is nearly religious stuff over there. Ingredient by ingredient it is hardly any worse than other processed foods and probably better than most.

My parents were born during the depression. Mom won't even eat bologna or hot dogs, let alone Spam. She actually knows how they are made:) The report I saw this morning emphasized the Hawaiian connection. I don't think I could eat it, since I pretty much only eat only certain cuts of beef, chicken and turkey. I'm a bit fussy that way.

HUGS!
