And we'd spend the rest of the day burping up what tasted like rotten eggs and wondering why.<br /><br />On an odd day a few months ago, I bought a can of Spam and fell in LOVE!! Then I bought Jalapeno Spam and fell deeper in love. I sliced it then and fried it crispy. With eggs and jelly on the side: heaven.<br /><br />Oh, yum! lotta joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12742978845913126675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3297986341537650775.post-66759020102434003532013-09-17T11:09:25.719-05:002013-09-17T11:09:25.719-05:00Rob, I believe that it kept a lot of people around...Rob, I believe that it kept a lot of people around the world from starving. Shipments of it were sent to the starving countries in Aftrica awhile back.<br /><br />Sixbears, I eat dogfood. . . of course my wife cooks it special for the dogs and doesn't want me eating it. Usually it is ground turkey, vegetables, and pasta. Yum, yum!!<br /><br />HermitJim, Me too, but my wife says it has too much sodium.

The dog, however, begs and begs until I give her a piece. <br /><br />Should I be worried that it's such a popular dog food? :)Sixbearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15572224383041421400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3297986341537650775.post-10483818493923900982013-09-17T09:04:25.047-05:002013-09-17T09:04:25.047-05:00In the early 80's I met a gentleman who's ...In the early 80's I met a gentleman who's family moved from Austria is the 1930's to escape the political problems going on there, the family moved to the Philippine Islands... He spent most of the Japanese occupation in the jungle.<br />After it was over he got a job on a US freighter and he told me the cook on the ship was so tired of Spam that he was tossing it over the side. This gentleman had been hungry for years, he saved as much of the Spam as he could and ate it. <br />35 years later he still liked Spam, just not as often.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05450082315014407506noreply@blogger.com
