Guest Posted May 21, 2002 Report Share Posted May 21, 2002 I, for one, am very happy to report that I cannot answer your question. I do not have a can of SPAM residing in my abode. OK....I know the answer, alright!!!..... I'm not a proud man, because of this fact. The answer has been indelibly fixated on my brain due to external circumstances beyond my control. The natives made me remember. ARE YOU HAPPY NOW???? Yes...I know the true origins of Spam. But will I devulge? NEVER, I TELL YOU....NEVER......

Guest Posted May 21, 2002 Report Share Posted May 21, 2002 We might BOTH be wrong, as this is culled from the Amazing Spam Homepage: "One of the world's most asked and most incorrectly answered questions. The truth is, SPAM doesn't really stand for anything. When SPAM first came out, it was marketed as Hormel Spiced Ham (see The SPAM Story), and it soon had many competitors. In order to get the lion's share of the market, Hormel decided their Spiced Ham needed a catchier name. A prize of $100 was offered for a new, memorable name. The prize was won by Kenneth Daig neau, brother of a Hormel executive, when at a New Year's Eve party he suggested the name "SPAM". The rest is history. If the truth isn't what you hoped for, why not check out some of the theories people have come up with over the years?" See http://www.cusd.claremont.edu/~mrosenbl/spam.html Yes, db, Hormel.

Guest Posted May 23, 2002 Report Share Posted May 23, 2002 Spam is from Hormel and I believe that Armour makes Treet. It's like Oreos and Hydrox. Same same but different. I prefer Spam myself (and Oreos to Hydrox). Fried Spam and eggs, biscuits and gravy, and a big pile of grits covered in butter......... Cardiac arrest, take me away........... I am sure that you hace all heard of the Spam contests in the US. I think that there is a big ne in Austin every year. They have a cooking contest where all of the recipes are based on the stuff. Spamburgers, Spamchiladas, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 23, 2002 Report Share Posted May 23, 2002 Yes, the contests not only include recipes but also spam carving contests and even the ever popular spam toss. Those little pink hunks of salty goodness can certainly be a bitch to get a hold of. When I don't want to get as elaborate as the egg, biscuit, etc. combo that I mentioned before, one of the easiest things that I like is a grilled Spam and cheese sandwich. I just realized that I have yet to try that on the new George Foreman Lean, Mean Grilling Machine that I got for Christmas. Sounds like I have a project for the afternoon.

Guest Posted May 23, 2002 Report Share Posted May 23, 2002 "I think that there is a big one in Austin every year." Bear in mind that that is NOT Austin, TEXAS, where Hormel is based; that is Austin, Minnesota. No lie. db, you're new avatar is rather...sweet, but it makes you seem gay.
