Quote from: Lynn LeFey on March 08, 2014, 09:18:06 AMI made the mistake of once making a spam and velveeta sandwich on a bagel. I thought i was going to die from sodium overload. As much as I rip on Spam, it's actually pretty good fried. Just as long as i don't have to think about the nutritional info.One thing in life that I have learned, is if you like something, never, and I mean never read the ingredients.Btw Spam rulez! Spam and eggs served with spam gravy with a nice hot steaming cup of spam.that's us mobile

So you didn't like it Gareth? What did you eat it with?

I already eat food thats terrible for me so the Sodium rich Spam would not be the best food to eat constantly. With all this Spam talk I got a craving for it so hopefully I have the can I think I do.
In our part of the world we have a porridge called polenta (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polenta). The instant variety is cooked in 2 minutes which is good way to conserve fuel. You can store it in plastic soda bottles and thus protect it from moisture. It is goes well together with different kinds of canned meat, so you probably could combine it with spam...

It's not precisely Spam, but Aldi sells a generic version just called 'luncheon meat'. I bought a can the other day, and had a double-take moment when looking at the 'best by' date.2018Isn't that like the sci-fi future? I also know that 'best by' isn't even when food goes bad. Just when it starts losing flavor characteristics and some nutritional value. Since 'luncheon meat' isn't exactly chock full of vitamins, I don't expect it would be a huge thing to eat it years after its best by date.Mmm.... 'Luncheon Meat'.

Someone is rather assuming the Alien Overlords/New Robot Masters are going to be interested in SPAM-like products.
Why didn't I realise before? It's just about preparing us for what we'll end up being fed when the Aliens enslave us!
Couscous/semolina also makes a good, quick base for a hot meal.

I'm a big fan of couscous for camping meals - uses a hell of a lot less gas than rice.I put a vege stock cube in the water and add chopped pieces of bolied egg, tomato, fried onion, cubes of cheese....
trail mix is just M&Ms with obstacles
That "tube" soup is interesting...maybe Gareth will like it with Spam We don't have anything like that here...just dried stuff in packets.
