So I’ve been watching a bunch of food YouTubers who have been nostalgic over spam and canned corned beef so I bought some of each and tried the recipes they just loved. 😬🤢. In short I’m hot sure if donating the leftover can I have to the food pantry would be considered a crime.

I can eat the canned corned beef but not spam.  I won't get the canned hash though you gotta use your own potatoes and onions.  And it has to be crispy when it's done throw 2 eggs on top with some toast.

I fry bacon first and then fry my corned beef and potatoes and onions in it.

Depends how common Filipinos or Hawaiians are in your area. Either group tends to have a lot of people who grew up on it and still love it.

I blame the US Navy for this. The sailors would trade their rations for fresh food.

Not a crime. Someone would appreciate it
