I grew up eating . My mother would put together a great country breakfast with eggs, fried spam and homemade buttermilk biscuits on Sunday mornings. Yummy!
I also like it in sandwiches when I do not have have ham or turkey.
This is a song from Monty Python, yes they actually did a song about SPAM, there's even a Broadway play called Spamalot based on the old Monty Python clips....
I like low sodium Spam, like to BBQ them slight burn on both sides and make musubi for lunch (work).
In Big Isle, I used to eating spam musubi one time a week. I can't eat spam without any foods.
I suspect an opened tin of SPAM for 6 years would not be very edible.
As for various comments re "gossip" does that fit the truism: in "mouth of the beholden"?
