SPAM recipes

[O.S.O.K.]

I think we need a SPAM recipe thread. After all, it's probably the most popular survival hoard food out there...

I'll start.

Spam and eggs: Slice Spam into thin breakfast-sized steaks and brown on both sides. Prepare eggs as desired (I like mine over easy so as to have some yolk to douse the spam in before eating).

Grilled Span and Cheese....Gubment Cheeze!

[arcangel]

Ramen noodles, SPAM, and scrambled eggs, with soy sauce. Grew up on that in Hawaii.

[old Grump]

Meat grinder, fine blade, grind up one can of spam.

Add heaping T of mayonnaise
1 t Dijon mustard
2-3 t of sweet or dill pickle relish.
1 hard boiled egg mashed or run through the grinder with the spam.
6-8 green olives chopped up
mix thoroughly

Toast bread or kaiser roll and make a Spamwich sandwich

optional: 1 t horseradish in place of mustard or 1/2 t of each

Cut it into cubes, cook it with beans, serve in rice. Its called rice, beans and spam.

[sisyphus]

Simple ones.............

Cube spam and fry in a little oil or butter until lightly browned. Add to black-eyed peas with butter. Or throw into pork and beans, spaghetti-o's or chili.

I love SPAM fried and browned on both sides kinda dark , with eggs , grits and three english muffins !

However because SPAM is in a pop-top can it no longer makes for a "long term" storage item. You can still get 2 to 3 years age from a can but those seams in the metal give way to leaks much sooner than they use too.

Ideally you can rotate your stock and your cans will be fine , but that requires eating "tons" of SPAM. Now if your storage is only ten cans or so then fine , but 100 cans is a hell of a lot of Spam. Take a sharpie and date your cans as you buy them and if you regularly eat SPAM then just continue to rotate.

Many folks save ten , twenty cans and call that a cache but in times of crisis food goes fast as stress levels are up. Try and buy only cans without pop-tops. If you want SPAM in regular cans go to a British food shoppe and you may still be able to get the old style cans. (they never converted as of five years ago) SPAM was one of the first products to go with pop-tops as they use to have two types of cans. Side-winder with key and solid military style cans. Either of these will be long gone.

Hawaii eats more SPAM than anyone per capita because of WWII GI's and their rations. Cans (solid military style) have been found in pacific island caves and were still edible , amazing !

Damn. I forgot about those pop lids, I guess I need to find a source for the wind up cans.

Spam cooked and wrapped in rice and sea weed like sushi is good too.

[slamfire51]

Sliced thin and battered with flour, then fried til just crispy.
3 eggs fried in same pan. Sunny side up.
2 pieces of toast with the eggs on top.
Cup of java and a glass of OJ.

My favorite breakfast.

LOL!

You gotta stick to the real stuff, and use corn tortillas.

[raxar]

actually it wasn't bad if you fried it, and as far as that goes I can't eat cold Spam either. The only canned loaf I've found that was good cold is Treet, but it's hard to find around here anymore.

as for the tortillas, I was house sitting, ain't no friggin way I'd buy such a thing. The whole experience just gave further proof that you should never trust skinny people when it comes to what tastes good.

[slamfire51]

Treet is definitely cheaper, but doesn't come close to SPAM in taste whether cold or cooked.
I'll pay the difference to get the better tasting version.

[chiak47]

I have 100's of these bags in my stash. About $1.00 a piece.

I prefer treet hot or cold, love that goo that it comes packed in

[swampdragon]

Tie a cord around the can and make a weapon out of it.
Then knock somebody else out with it.
Take their real food.

Your imagination amazes me.
Wasting a perfectly good can of SPAM to kill someone.
Bullet is cheaper. No CQ confrontation.

ah, but spam is more enviromentally friendly, what with being bio-digradible and all.

what surprises me is that he didn't say to beat someone with a can of spam and then eat them.

Give him time, he'll think of that in a few. LOL
