I have been sick lately and didn't feel like cooking. So I found a
pretty good use for the Walmart "Great Value" brand of canned Luncheon
Meat. It's the first of several brands of SPAM look-a-likes I posted
the other day).

Fried luncheon meat browned on one side, crispy on the other. A small
pile of Claussen sauerkraut fried dry in the same pan for 3 minutes.
And then the last minute or two I throw on some shredded provolone
over the "meat" to let it melt and some of that rolls off to get
browed. On white bread with mayo and Lowensenf mustard.

The meat sucked when I tasted it right out of the can - way too salty
and mushy. Even after it was cooked it wasn't that great. But cover
it up with cheese and sauerkraut and hide some of that taste with
extra strong mustard and it was pretty darn good.

Then I remembered I had some pastrami in the freezer. Doh!

I am a Hurricane Katrina survivor. We spent many weeks with nothing except
whatever was on hand.
Became an expert on cooking Spam. Almost had to cook a wedding cake on
a wood fire; got really great at smoked pizza.
Anyhow.
Slice Spam thinly; something less than ?". Put the slices on a not
greased pan and bake about 10 minutes. Turn and bake another 10. More or
less. Until it looks dry and crisp. Depends on what luxury you have. . .
like a stove.
Good as bacon, heaps cheaper and no refrigeration required, really good
with buttermilk biscuits, cheese grits and scrambled eggs. Polly

Do you still respond to my posts as if you're talking to me, or do you
just use the occasion to talk about yourself? The subject of my post
was not about being ill, or about me. Yet in the classic Om-way you
managed to spin an "all about Om followup" even though you know I've
had you killfiled for a long time.

I purged my killfile last night and the first post in RFC I read is
yours. Congratulations - you're the first entry in the new killfile
again.

BTW: That was a rhetorical question.

I remember Spam during World War II at the end when we had food stamps.
That's all the meat we had to eat. Even though I haven't had Spam in years,
I remember it as being not so bad, even sort of good. It was probably the
first meat in life! From this thread, I'm going to go to try it again. After
that it was hamburgers. Mother used to buy hamburger at a local market for
$.09/lb. Yes, that's nine cents a pound.

I agree. Sqwertz is a rectum orifice. However behind that there's something
very pathetic about him. He's by himself and very lonely, even with someone
in the room. He's unfulfilled in life and in his work, whatever that is. He
has no sense of self worth. He does love to cook, cooking what's new and
different, along with the traditional stuff. I've wondered what it's like to
do that and eat by yourself. As pissed off as I've been with him, and will,
I'm sure in the future, I feel sorry for him. However, he still is the chief
rectum orifice of this NG, and he has a few disciples.

And, where is Kevin S. Wilson?? He could help.

Are you going to be posting a comparison of the brands? I can
pretty much predict that my preference would be whichever one has
the least salt.

No you wern't. You said "I feel for you", and then other 300 words
were to talk about yourself and let everyone know you are sick and
have a friend name "Lyn" (or maybe that's your druggie-housekeeper.

Besides. you know I've had you killfiled for a long time and have even
acknowledged it and morphed several times to get my attention. So why
are you trying express concern if you know I have you killfiled unless
you're just trying to grand-stand and try and gain some pity for
yourself?

This is so transparent. Do you really think any of stupid enough to
see through your games?


What kind of language is "Rectum oriface", Kent? Is that Latin or
something?

Stop going out of your way to be a pompous boor.

So far I have eaten two cans. The Hill Country Fare brand (sold at
HEB) and the Great Value brand (Walmart).

The HCF brand is miles ahead of the Great Value. The later has 55%
more salt and 40% more fat than the former.

I also got some "light" versions.

That you ate two cans in like two days says you eat 1,000%+ more
Spamish meat than me... you must realize that you can never again
ridicule me for eating SPAM.

Maybe you should listen to what people think of you.

My short time here, I've learned that most of what you say is like a
really nasty fart; just loud, obnoxious noise coming from an asshole.

btw, I haven't "morphed", I just ditched Google for my old news
reader. A wise-ass like you would mention my change in posting data.

I will continue to ridicule all I want. Unless there's a law I'm not

And I didn't eat two cans in two days. I still have half of both cans
eaten over 5-6 days.

Go away Alpo. You're just following me around because I pointed out
what an asshole you were. Not that I'm trying to take credit for it -
I couldn't have done it without your help.

Oh, too bad. Still, if you must eat Spam, it at least had many
disguises. How thick did you cut it, BTW? Could it be cut thinly
enough so the mushiness is totally eliminated?

I'm not going anywhere, squirts.

People of your low character always think everyone else is an asshole
when it's only yourself you're seeing.

You're nothing but a simple-minded foul mouth who has sleazed his way
through life being the asshole you are.

You go away squirts. Go hang out at the landfill with your rat
buddies. You'd fit right in there.

I cut it into 1oz slices, about 1/4" I'd guess. The texture is much
better when cooked.

Of course when I finish all these cans I'm going to hate Spam-like
products even more. When I finish the last cane of these, and the
vienna sausage collection, that's it for the rest of my life.

Speaking of cheap food, this is what I'm eating now. Now _these_ I
actually like:
