Spam

[Fletch]

The sp supposedly stood for spiced.

The only "spices" in Spam are a) salt and b) sugar.

In Chile, a Chinese version of Spam filled the supermarkets' (otherwise bare) shelves during Salvador Allende's difficult presidency (1970-'73). With little meat available in the cities, people ate this Chinese spam as a cheap substitute. They called it "chancho chino" ("Chinese piggy").


Chileans got so sick and tired of the stuff, they wholeheartedly abandoned it after Allende was overthrown in a military coup. To this day, Chileans refuse to eat Spam again, even the American version.

No wonder he was overthrown.lol
