I knew it was before the U.S A. entered WWII, because that's when it was introduced to Hawai'i, where it's now considered the state meat.

In addition to the Monty Python skit, there was an episode of M*A*S*H* in which Jamie Farr's character insisted lamb be served for Passover. Having no access to an actual lamb, the unit cook sculpted one from spam. I think the episode was even called "the spam lamb."

Tigress ,SPAM was shipped by the ton from the US to England during WWII. England needed meat, it had to come by ship, and SPAM fit the bill.

my Uncle Walter worked for the Hormel company in Austin Minnesota and we always got spam and other meats for Christmas. The Hormel company owned the Wrigley Mansion in Phoenix. the Hormel family always pronounced their name with the emphasis on the first syllable, but some marketing group thought it would sound better, so today we hear the emphasis on the last syllable.

Player #6398592, my grandfather ate fried Spam & Egg sandwiches when I was a little girl. Not too bad, it comes down to how you prepare it for how well it's going to taste. Depression Era, it was affordable and filling which in that time was so hard to come by.
