My dad loved it in a fried SPAM sandwich with cheese on toast. I didn't like it as,a kid, but recently someone was making it so I asked for a sandwich to honor my dad. He's been gone for 30 years now and I miss him. Anyway, I tried the SPAM sandwich and,was shock to find that I liked it!! It was a nice memory and a surprisingly good sandwich!

Love SMAM, "IF" you kill the salty content with lettuce & tomato or something like that on a sandwich with scrambled eggs or avacado is good as well with tomato.

Diver Dan, was invented as a way of using the excess meat on the bones in The Butchery Department the company ran a contest to come up with a way of using extra bits of meat that was left on the bone wish they considered a waste I think the employee got like $100 bonus for coming up with a way of canning that extra meat that they got off of the bones made the company millions of millions. also very popular during the wars because it was a way they could ship meet and get protein to the Troops that were in the trenches are hard to reach places without the meat spoiling

We ate it regularly when I was a kid. Mom fried it and it was pretty good. I haven't had it in a while.

I loved Spam and dill pickle sandwiches with mayo when I was in high school. When I got married I made them for my husband, now he likes them too. I'm now 75, and we have been married for 50 years. And yes we still enjoy our Spam sandwiches!

Pounditpeggy, I would love to have given you a period (.) or a (.) common to get through that paragraph. SPAM was great when I grew up, unfortunately, now it's too much fat & sodium.

My grandpa liked, but he recently passed away, and my grandma gave all the grandkids one for Christmas. As a joke, cause no one likes it.

I like the light Spam. It has less salt and fat. Sliced thin and fried until crispy is pretty tasty.
