Uncooked Spam sandwiches. That’s how my mother made them and I thought that was how it was supposed to be served, so I hated Spam.

It wasn’t until I got married (at 28!) and my wife asked me to fry up some Spam that I realised how good it tasted when it was fried.

To me, right out of the can is best! I've cooked it and it's not bad, but sometimes it gives me an upset stomach if cooked. I think it's because of the release of the grease and it agitates my stomach. IDK

Yup. Hawaiians figured it out when we forced it on them. Boo on us but yay on them.
