Tried spam for the first time the other day, wasn't too bad on the BBQ to be honest!
Forgive my lack of spam knowledge but aren't the normal Spam cams single serve?

Normal cans are a bit much for 1 person. They are about 2-3 serves dependig on how much you eat. I agree love a good bit of fried spam on toast with a dash of HP sauce..hmmm

I was thinking you meant the 125g tin; which is what I consider a single dinner serve

MD I think you mean 200g tin as they only do two, 340g or the 200g, a 125g tin would be almost as good as the 85g single serve pouch :D

Crikey! SPAM? Leg Ham, Corned Beef?, at least you can see that it's meat :)
Even then it all seems to be a deflating experience, nostalgia & memory being the highlight.
I'm sure you could freeze a portion, not like much will live on it :mrgreen:

Had two nice thick fried slices of " Spam with Bacon " and a free range Tassie egg for breakfast this morning ,it was yummy :D
And after seeing how they get the meat for Canned Corn Beef I will no longer eat it :shock:
