Is this a good deal??

DanG · May 11, 2005, 09:58:17 PM

Don't get too frisky there, Fred. Spam, properly prepared, is pretty good stuff, as long as you don't read the label. ;D :D :D :D

crtreedude · May 11, 2005, 10:00:06 PM

Or eat it....

Parts is parts.

pigman · May 11, 2005, 10:02:39 PM

How could spam not be good. 8) It is made from pigs. Of course, I don't think it is made from the best parts. :

;D

Teri · May 12, 2005, 06:52:09 AM

Its made from piggy parts alright.. ;) But which parts are they using??? :D

crtreedude · May 12, 2005, 07:09:41 AM

New slogan for Spam:

Made from the best parts on earth. (Sorry Snapple)

Teri · May 12, 2005, 07:12:19 AM

The best parts of what? ??? ??? ???

crtreedude · May 12, 2005, 07:13:45 AM

DanG,

First Grits, now Spam - tell me, do you eat real food?!?! ;D

Man, you got to come down here and get fed - I'll take you out to some Chicharrones (fresh pork crackling).

Just so you all know, our Tica housekeeper / cook and all around friend wants nothing to do with grits (Harold smuggled some down). She thought they were paste used for putting up wallpaper.... :D

Teri - no idea - I am sure Hormel considers that a trade secret.

Teri · May 12, 2005, 07:16:18 AM

I would keep that stuff a secret too!!! ;) :D :D

Fla._Deadheader · May 12, 2005, 07:29:24 AM

Fred, I doubt that ya fixed them grits proper. Bet I could get Ana to try 'em 1 more time, she might like 'em. ;) ;D ;D :D :D

DanG · May 12, 2005, 07:46:33 AM

Grits and Spam ARE real food, Fred. Sometimes I snack on junk. Fer instance, last night I had a big ribeye, baked 'tater and a salad. Can't be doing that too much, though...ain't healthy.

FYI, Spam is made from ham. If you want a real culinary delight, get some "potted meat." Read the label before you eat it, or don't read it at all. Just a little friendly advice. ;D :D :D :D

pigman · May 12, 2005, 07:55:20 AM

I thought spam was made from the front legs of a hog, not the back legs. I guess that is what I get for trying to think. :-[

asy · May 12, 2005, 08:40:28 AM

I always thought it was what they scraped off the bandsaw blades after they finished cutting up all the other bits of the piggie...

I may be wrong though...

But then I may not.

asy :D

tnlogger · May 12, 2005, 09:57:06 AM

I just dont under stands ya'll spam i a product that feeds the world. It's all in how ya fix it.

Teri · May 12, 2005, 06:10:16 PM

:D :D :D

Pennsylvania has a unique way of dealing with "parts".... anyone heard of Scrapple? ??? Here is a list of ingredients from the globalchef website:

But what parts of the hog go into the creation of scrapple? After the ham, bacon, chops and other cuts of meat are taken from the butchered pig - what remains are fixings for scrapple - including the meat scraped off the head. Scrapple may contain pork skin, pork heart, pork liver, pork tongue - even pork brains. Those faint of palate needn't venture any further.

I have a big block of this stuff in my freezer that was given to Cowboy Bob by an Amish friend. It's gonna be in the freezer forever.

Teri · May 13, 2005, 08:57:26 PM

I would take that out of the freezer and bury it real deep in the back yard or the back forty. :D :D :D

Tom · May 13, 2005, 09:20:49 PM

Sounds a bit like Hog's Head Cheese. I like it! ;D

Slabs · May 14, 2005, 07:52:05 PM

Hey Rox

Send me some of the Scrapple and let me compare it to my favorite SOUSE.
Same thing as Tom's head cheese.

Roxie · May 16, 2005, 03:36:03 AM

I can't believe that anyone would really eat that stuff!

Souse doesn't even look good! The one thing about this Scrapple is that you can't accuse anyone of deception when scrap is in the name!

Ianab · May 16, 2005, 04:50:07 AM

The local's here know how to deal with the leftover pig bits. Puha and pork bones in a boil up 8)

Now I guess if need to tell you about puha... :

DanG · May 16, 2005, 07:29:42 AM

Sounds yummy, Ian! :D :D

Was in the meat shop one day last week. Chicken feet was $1.29lb. The rest of the chicken was $1.09lb. ??? Went back in a couple of days later and they had plenty of chicken, but all the feet was sold out. That must tell ya somethin' about the demographics hereabouts. :D :D

crtreedude · May 16, 2005, 08:33:55 AM

A timely factoid:

SPAM: introduced by George A. Hormel & Company in 1891 on this day....

Teri · May 16, 2005, 10:02:03 AM

Roxie...I agree with ya' on that. ;D

sandmar · May 16, 2005, 10:22:52 AM

Spam=SPiced hAM or so I been told. I personally like my ham sugar cured,sliced about 3/8" thick and fried,with red-eye gravy and buttered catheads....but that's just me ;D

I like SPAM, always have, and we ate a lot of it during the war (II) and after. I view it as a treat now.

I am real curious (maybe don't really want to know, given this subjects' discussion) what the 'buttered catheads' are (seeing as we have been discussing 'hunting' cats in Wisconsin lately)
???
At first look, I was thinking catfish heads, or the 'cheeks'. On second thought, I wondered if it were 'cat heads' which isn't too appealing.
But really, thinking that neither of my 'thoughts' are correct. ;D
