Who shot Kennedy and what’s really in Spam. These are the questions I need answered. Of all the companies having troubles these days in times like this and at no time before, SPAM is the last one you might expect would be doing well. According to an article in the New York TImes, they are. Makes sense actually. It doesn’t cost a lot to eat poorly in America, and what better way to do that than with Spam. People will settle for something resembling meat if faced with the real thing at four times the price. (Growing up, we were one of the more well off families, having both Spam and Hamburger Helper. That’s why all the neighborhood kids played at our house.) It’s also probably why McDonald’s and the rest of the fast casual* industry are holding their own as well. Thank God for max carbs and value meals, something growing teens need. Just wonder where this nets out in 10, 15 years. SPAM. The stints of tomorrow—today!
*Way to win hearts and minds. Uh, it’s fast food.

Congratulations. When I Google "Something that resembles meat" your blog comes up first. But I can't shake the feeling that Bill Murray uttered that in some movie.
I present to you, the Canadian "luncheon meat". Ours is a premium pork product: http://www.virgeweb.com/rage2/spam/spam06.jpg
AND the bestest most funnest way of opening a can EVER http://www.virgeweb.com/rage2/spam/spam11.jpg
Spam is to meat as Michael Vick is to wine.
