The Luxury of Spam: When Only Slabs of Pink, Jellied Byproduct Will Do
Quote:If you're looking for a gift that bespeaks elegance and taste, you might try Spam. The luncheon meat might be the subject of satire back home in the U.S., but in South Korea, it is positively classy. With $136 million in sales, South Korea is the largest market in the world for Spam outside the United States. But here, some consider the pink luncheon meat with its gelatinous shell too nice to buy for themselves, and 40% of the Spam is purchased as gifts... full article: http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/...-headlines |

I've always hated Spam
Quote:Spam's success in South Korea is one of those cultural mysteries a bit like the reverence for Jerry Lewis in France I've never understood the Jerry Lewis/France thing either.

I've always hated Spam [/quote] Yeah, me too. Even when you try to hide the taste with lots of ketchup or other condiments or foods, it doesn't work. Even after several rum and cokes, it still tastes gross. |

Well, in all fairness to the product, when we were little, and monies were tight, we had a LOT of sardines, spam and tuna. We ate what was put before us, like it or not. Consequently, we learned to like everything!! I can still remember the taste of Spam. It really wasn't that bad for what it was. However, having NOT eaten any for at least 45 years, I just don't think I could get past the salt content.....

[/quote] Hmmm, maybe that's why I didn't like it - I never could eat anything even slightly salty even way back as a youngster. Hmm, that could be. |

Even if I ate meat I wouldn't touch SPAM with a 10 foot pole--that slimey jello gunk on the outside is gross
