  • Bloody vikings.
  • I should open a National Cheese Emporium next door.
  • It's not just the Filipinos. The Hawaiians and South Koreans are quite crazy about Spam too. You can even find very classy gift boxes that are designed to hold cans of Spam in South Korea.
  • It gave its name to junk e-mail because of the singing Vikings in the Monty Python sketch, who kept drowning out a waitress offering dishes such as spam, egg, spam, spam, bacon and spam. I had always heard that "spamming" comes from the college prank of opening a can of spam, then throwing the spam-cube at something. The resulting little bits o'pig go everywhere and get on everything. Can anyone clear this up? btw.. the funniest thing I ever heard about spam was "it's everything but the oink"
  • With what had been told them by Jonas, who had worked in the pickle rooms, they could now study the whole of the spoiled-meat industry on the inside, and read a new and grim meaning into that old Packingtown jest--that they use everything of the pig except the squeal. from: The Jungle by Upton Sinclair That said, mmmm Spam.

  • The Spam-can is something of an icon in NZ these days for immigrants from (I think) Samoa or Fiji. It's also taking a more predominant position on supermarket shelves and on t-shirts as the Polynesian population grows and spread throughout the country.
  • Yeah... Asians definitely have a different, and very unusual relationship to spam. Ever had spam musubi? It's good... Here's two recipies--with and without pidgin.
  • Some people are really better off without this revolting stuff.
