Well I had no idea that SPAM had such an illustrious history. And only in America could we create an acronym that sounds like a word to fully describe one of our creations!

Thank you for your historically educational post :)

Hey Beckie hon, did you know SPAM was invented during WW II as a method of shipping food stocks over to an otherwise starving Britian. England at the time was under seige by the German U-Boats and much needed supplies where difficult to get into the country.
SPAM was a small compact containor of high caloric meats basically developed to sustain life. Think how many cans of SPAM could be packed into a ship.
SPAM stands for Specially Produced American Meat…………

PS: No wonder the British hate us, and I guess the French must have got some as well — lmao.

Thanks for your comment. Well, I thought I’d heard everything about SPAM until your post about the Spammobile! Talk about trying to get the masses to give it a try. And I hadn’t thought about the acquired taste side and equating it to White Castle’s but I think your right, SPAM is an acquired taste, but after our little kitchen test I won’t be able to truly eat enough to actually acquire that taste myself :-)

It was (surprisingly) good, in a greasy, salty way. Kind of an acquired taste for most people, I’d imagine, sort of like White Castle burgers !
