When you don't have much growing up and the family is large, you eat Spam when the cupboards are bare and the freezer has been unplugged. And of course whatever comes out of the garden. Fried Spam on home made rye buns with Velveeta was a regular in our house. Now I can't eat it unless I use little or no cheddar cheese. Spam is similar to taking whatever dark meat, light meat, and some of the marbling that is left from a ham bone and put it through a meat grinder. Then spray a cast iron griddle and fry it up. Good!
