My contribution - Can also be served over buttered pasta for a "pseudo veggie alfredo" thing. VERY good!

I like eating anything even remotely stew-y over a bed of pasta.

Does remind me of some of my "whatever the hell meat there is, plus random veggie, coconut milk and curry paste" Thai curries, though.
Which is actually probably how people traditionally did it...

Slice it thin, fry it up, and serve with eggs and coffee while sitting in front of the campfire on a crisp morning high in the mountains. The sound of a crashing stream nearby, the hint of pine in the air, and a plate full of SPAM and eggs to kick off your day.
For everything else ... well ... if you can ham it, SPAM it!

I eat vienna sausages, too. And bologna. And breakfast sausage ... lots and lots of sausage.
Brad
p.s. - I also like fried chicken livers, calf fries, and tongue. Yes, tongue. Broiled or roasted, sliced thin, and stacked on an onion roll with plenty of horseradish, mayo, lettuce, and tomato.

You SPAM defenders just consider this . . . when the little piggies go into Hormel's meat processing plant, nothing comes out but product.

So we are as honerable as Native Americans who used all the buffalo right?

It tastes alright, whatever it is. I eat a similar stew, but without the cream cheese, and I slice up a few links of cooked sausage and throw them in where the SPAM would be.

The cream cheese acted as a thickening agent - made it nice and creamy - along with giving a subtle boost to the overall flavor.

Sounds pretty good. I'll have to try it.

Corn starch does that too.
Or for some Cuban and Brazilian stews, corn meal. You end up with something rich and savory the consistency of grits. REALLY good in winter.

You lost me at SPAM. To me, the only viable use for SPAM is to duct-tape the can to a grenade and throw it into a Islamist terrorist hide-out, thus ruining their chance at an afterlife or something.
I sincerely hope we have a few PhD level engineers toiling away in the back room of some defense contractor R&D facility trying to perfect exactly that sort of weapon. It's time we take the gloves off and fight this war like we mean it. Bust out the Spam!Spam grenades, Spam artillery shells , 2-ton Spam bombs, Spam cruise missiles... They wouldn't know what hit 'em!

Unfortunately, that might be decried as a pork-barrel contract.

There's a recipe there for a SPAM gelatin mold.
That seems to me like a way to cause your guests to experience explosive projectile vomiting...

HOWEVER I think that Turkey Spam is great. Nothing like original spam. And it's amazing in a big bowl of macaroni and cheese.

And people wonder why the terrorist hate us. One of my favorite lazy guy recipes contains only three ingedients.
Wash 3 large potatos, poke holes in side with fork, place on plate.
Microwave for 10 minutes on high (longer if you have a wimpy microwave).
Cut open potatos and sprinkle with cheddar, and Oscar Meyer pre-cooked bacon bits.
Place back into microwave for 1 and one half minutes.
Consume with 3 pints of your favorite beer and you wont be hungry for a week.

Glockfan.45, you need a wife. Or a girlfriend. Or even just some old lady who can boil an egg, and who'll stop in once in awhile to see if you're alive.

I determined it was "light" a pint, or three, of brew.
I mixed more beer to taste, forgot to eat the potatos, and slept for 12 hours.
The next morning, I fried the potatos and ate them with SPAM.
I get my CHL checked on Friday.

Then you have mine who will interrogate you to get dinner ideas. What makes it worse is that I'll eat anything (as evidenced in the Wife is Killing Me thread), but she's very picky. I almost hate to suggest anything out of fear that it'll result in me eating and her sitting at the table, only to grab a meal later. I usually cop out by telling her anything she wants to fix is fine with me.Chris
