I'll always speak up in defense of Spam. It's condensed pig at its best. Fry up a couple slices for breakfast some morning when you've got snow to shovel and it'll give you all the energy you need.

Good stuff, but it is too expensive when one can purchase whole pork tenderloins for $1.78/Lb.

That's only good when you have a freezer. I've got one six months of the year, but it gets pretty gamy in the summer.

Pork snout? Head Cheese? Grits? Cow Brains? Scrapple? Spam? Fried Dill pickles? Crayfish? Squirrel brains?

I grew up eating grits.
Usually with bacon and eggs.
The other items, uh no.
I had family members eat them, but I was finicky.
Shoot, I don't even eat black eyed peas, because I never liked them.

How on earth do you lump grits and pickles into the same group as squirrel brains?

What's interesting is that Spam is very popular in Asia, especially Korea.

Yipe!

I have my grandmother's 1946 Coldspot chest freezer in the cellar, and so can handle a large tenderloin even with a Monitor Top refrigerator. It is a real economy to be able to buy meats when they are cheap, besides which blanched and frozen produce takes less time and is generally more toothsome than the canned product.

At least he didn't lump them into the same stew.

Hudson, some people (on the West Coast) have no idea how the average Southerner lives.
He should have his staff research it for him.

Zombie, I'm glad he didn't do it either!.
Even Anthony Bourdain wouldn't eat it.

Ok, which ones have you NOT eaten?

But they do in the South.

I don't wanna know what you eat out there and I got every one of those from Southern Cooking site. :rofl:

Wellll, it could be *unjust* pig -- one can never be too sure of the philosophical alignment of swine.

Eating all those California fruits and nuts has fried his brain.

Ok, I found out that the lo fat Spam has chicken in it. uke: Hormel says "It contains a mixture of ham and chopped pork shoulder. (Ham is the pig's thigh; pork is everything else.)" Hmmmmm.... snoot, eyes, ears, hooves.....

I don't really like nuts and I only eat the fruit that I grow myself. Not too worried about that stuff. Now squirrel brains.....:eeek:

"Treet" is the stuff to stay away from. It's pork and "mechanically separated chicken," which is basically slaughterhouse floor sweepings mashed thru a sieve. Yum!

Then they run the stuff they sweep up through a woodchipper? "Mechanically separated."
