Calling Hawaii home means, of course, that I have to eat -- and like -- SPAM. I consider it an honor and a duty. Else I shall return to the mainland in shame. After just three days here, I felt it was high time to try the delectable mystery meat treat. I chose my first experience carefully, in the form of SPAM
Eggs Benedict at
Lu Lu's, my favorite neighborhood breakfast joint so far. I was both surprised and a bit concerned when the waitress informed me she had never had anyone substitute SPAM for ham in this dish. (Had I made a terrible mistake!?) But in the end her own willingness to try it fortified my decision.
And the resulting dish was all I wanted it to be. The sweet-salty succulent taste and texture of SPAM complemented the Eggs Benedict quite well. And how can you go wrong with a product that lists among its
ingredients both ham
and pork. Now
that is really living.
So when I found tins of SPAM in an 8-pack at Costco, I couldn't resist buying. Now we won't lack for sweet-salty protein for at least a month. Just think of the possibilities: SPAM scramble for breakfast, SPAM sandwich for lunch, grilled SPAM steak for dinner. Mmmmmm.....
You're spending too much time in the sun. It's turning your brain to SPAM.
ReplyDeleteSPAM margaritas!!
ReplyDeleteI shall open a day spa called SPA M. Think of it: moisturizing SPAM facial masks; cleansing SPAM-and-mud baths; deep-tissue warm SPAM massages; SPAM-scented candles burning in the background....
ReplyDeletePerhaps a little time out of the sun would be good. My SPAMarita's melting....
My Dad loves SPAM, and he and mom just barely missed a SPAM toss when they arrived at a SPAM festival last year in Northern California. And SPAMaritas are so passe. Go for the SPAMojito.
ReplyDeleteJosh, I'm practicing solidarity with you--I bought a can of spam. Anna said she won't try it. We'll see about that...
ReplyDeleteyeah Wiens! we'll have to share recipes.
