Got a tin of Spam for the first time...what should I do with it?
- Thread starter ElectricBlanketFire
- Start date
I love pan fried spam. Fried spam and egg sandwhich or fried rice. Eating it out the can always tastes odd to me.
Spam makes for surprisingly excellent fishing bait. My grandfather would swear by it.
Use it to catch a better dinner. :D

I've never had spam but this sounds ideal
was already thinking I should have gotten some to try last time I was at the store...
EDIT:
...ok now I'm just taking notes
my only problem: I think I'd end up getting some at Costco, so... I better like it cause I'm gonna be eating spam for a while

I haven't had Spam in many years. I was under the assumption that it was the Devil's breakfast, but now I am intrigued! I am also easily swayed.
I shall purchase a measure of Spam this very weekend and try it for myself with one of the recipes contained within this thread.

Spamburgers are great. Cut it the long way so you have 8 american cheese sized slices and pan fry. Top with all the toppings.
You can also cube it up, toss it with some seasonings, and pan fry that for breakfast burrito fillings.
Lastly, you can make what got me into Spam:

Easiest thing is breakfast sandwich. Slice some, pan sear them and make some eggs as well for your sandwich
I'll just make spam and cheese sandwich right from the tin. I'm adventurous like that.

seriously brehs, this
but with SPAM instead of tofu
🤤
Hot damn this looks amazing.
Well, a week late, but I have completed my experiment with Spam.
I've come to the conclusion that it's not for me. Frying it well made it edible, but in reality anything done to it seems to be an exercise in hiding the flavour of it. I still have a can left (I bought 2) so I'll eat that, but I can think of nicer canned food products that I'd rather have in the pantry for the apocolypse or laundry day. Just checking the nutritional information on the first can of canned hotdogs I found showed a similar protein level, with less fat, less saturated fats and less sodium and I'd much rather those than Spam and I can heat them in the microwave.
Toss it in an outdoor fire and run for cover as it explodes all over the place. That's what my mom did at a camp back in the day when the previous camp bought too much spam. 🤣
As she has said depending on how it lands on the fire will determine whether the can or the spam shoots out so def watch out. lol

Appreciate the update OP, this brings this adventure to a close.
now then; how does one sass up a can of hot dogs?
I'm not the OP - just a person inspired to try Spam again from this thread. Alas, it was not the culinary delight I had hoped.
As for the hot dogs, they need little sass. Just heat them up and eat them as God intended, in soft while buns with condiments of your choosing or just on their own, naked and ashamed on a plate with some dipping sauce.

Thank you for asking!
Yes, I did try it. The first thing I did was simply fry up a couple of slices in butter. It tasted...fine. Kind of like a more bland sausage patty?
The next day my wife made ramen and cubed some up in a mix of other ingredients. Again, pretty good but nothing amazing or anything.
It was more or less what I expected. I'd be interested in trying other varieties or the spam musubi.
I honestly don't even use butter. Straight into the pan. Spam-musubi is definitely the best possible use of spam, if you can make it properly.
Spam gets a bad rap which is kinda lame, but dude... if you fry it up and dice it and put it in some scrambled eggs with some spice it's really good.
I enjoyed my Spam in an Omelette.
Does anyone know how to actually get the whole thing out of the tin btw?

Take the lid off and squeeze the two smaller sides to loosen things up. Smack the back of the can a few times while holding it over a plate and it'll fall out.
