Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
Turn off your spam-blockers and get ready for an avalanche of salty, eraser-colored porktastic goodness. The other day, I wrote about how Spam is ramping up production to meet recession-fueled demand. Some of you passionately defended the oft-ridiculed meat product; others requested Spam recipes. So I rounded up a few of the best Spam-cooking sites, just for you.
First, check out the aptly named spamrecipes.net, which gives Spam a vaguely International makeover with recipes like Spam frittata, Spam carbonara and Cantonese Spam. Spam's own website has recipes from its test kitchen as well as contributions from fans like Spam salad cones and Maui Spam muffins. Just Recipes has 359 Spam recipes, from A Good Hot (Spam) Sandwich to Zippy Spam and Pesto Biscuits.
As for me, I still favor the classic Southern Spam sandwich: A thick slab of skillet-fried Spam between two slices of Duke's mayonnaise-slathered Wonder Bread with a sliced summer tomato.

...he ate SPAM at every meal for a month...yes, three times a day. Some interesting recipes.
Yes, a SPAM lover here, grew up having it in my mom's SPAM casserole and in SPAM fried rice.

In these times of economically forced frugality I would think there'd be a resurgence in fried bologna...

Grilled spam, tater tots, Boston baked beans, and Velveeta in a burrito. Ketchup for dipping. And I swear it's WAY more delicious than it sounds. A great showcase for spam.

That said, eating SPAM fits right in. After all, if you had a lot of money, you wouldn't be eatin SPAM right?
..... riiight?
