Some years ago I read that North Carolina was supposedly the per capita Spam consumption capitol. I dunno when freakin' Hawaii stole our... somehow "thunder" doesn't seem the right word...

Anyway, even in the (former) Spam capitol I have only seen the cheesy, the hot&spicy, and the lite in addition to the beloved original recipe gracing our market shelves. Which leads me to believe that skeeter1 lives in some kind of elitist Spamutopia where us regular poor fat-ass 'mercans are unwelcome.

It only fits when you serve fried spam and raw onions over rice.

It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine

I don't believe I've ever heard Cleveland referred to as a utopia of any sort (and I lived there seven years myself).

You've got that right, Bob.  We do have good food, halfways-decent sports teams, and shitty roads wherever you go.  

As for all of the varieties of Spam, I got mine here:

Thanks to the good folks at USPS, it was delivered right to my door.  I love it when I get gifts via USPS, UPS, FedEx, DHL... and sit on my ass and not burn up a drop of my own gasoline.  If you shop the right places, some still have free shipping.

But of course.

Why it never occurred to me that entire range of quality Spam food product varieties would be available on the interwebs I cannot say. I can only hang my head in shame.

I always thought that the term "food stuff" was created to deal with products like Spam.

Illegitimi non carborundum.

Actually I think you are right. The term food product was originally associated with the first fake cheese from Kraft - the individually wrapped Wonder Bread-sized squares of so-called "American cheese". I also remember seeing that label on the even-more space-aged aerosol cheeses like Cheez-Wiz.

Yum.

I've always rather liked Spam, but Hormel, Armour, and others have made "potted meat food product".  I only made the mistake of buying that once.  Same thing does for deviled ham.  God, those are nasty.  

Then again, being of Bohemian ancestry, I like jaternice sausage, so I'm probably not one to talk.

While I will eat Spam, deviled ham/potted meat is someplace I simply will not go. My mother used to occasionally surprise (and I mean that in the worst way) me with Underwood deviled ham on toast in my lunchbox when I was in elementary school. Had I been a bit more sophisticated, I would have reported her for child abuse.

That shit is nasty.

{Insert amusing quotation here}

Indeed.  I've had Armour-Star brand potted-meat food product and Underwood deviled ham each only once.  Never again.  Though I've never tried it, I've seen cat food that would probably be more appetizing.
