The makers of Spam, saying that their “special relationship with the Hawaiian community spans decades,” have donated over 264,000 cans to aid the disaster-relief efforts on Maui, the company said in a press release.

        I’ve met someone who swore it was terrible. They didn’t realize that people fried it up first. They’d been trying to eat sliced spam sandwiches straight from the can.

        I tried spam once, I just cut a few slices and stuck it in the microwave to warm it up. I just remember it being really salty. Did I mess it up?

          Oh… oh god that sounds awful.

          Next time pop it out of the can. Slice into 1cm or so slices. Eat on a slightly toasted bun with cheese, a nice strong mustard, and onion.

          Or cut it into 1.5cm cubes. Toss in hot oil with some seasoning and stir fry rice into it.

          The secret to spam is to brown it up. It’s still salty, but that’s part of the point. Spam musubi is a common thing, too.
