hormel and the meat industry

Parts of it looked faked for sensationalism. The veggie people would do things like that. In any case, slaughterhouses are nasty places.

Years ago I had a friend who worked at Hormel and he wondered about the little flecks of red in their "hamburger patties".

He eventually found out that that was the meat!

LOL! Good one. SPAM = Substance Posing As Meat!

For some reason, the Hawaiian populace loves SPAM. They have more varieties of Spam for that market than Baskin-Robbins has flavor.

I have one son-in-law who loves it. I'd puke if I had to dig it out of the can to throw it away!

My parents loved SPAM and forced us kids to eat it on a regular basis. SPAM and cheese sandwiches! Fried SPAM and eggs. yuk! Never touch the stuff, now!

We have Spam & eggs every couple of weeks. Fried to a little crisp on the outside.

I haven't had SPAM since I was old enough to buy own groceries. lol

Maybe the taste had improved since I last had some?

Gee, I wonder if there is a link between GMO enhanced, pesticide/herbicide laced factory food and human disease?

If there was, the USDA would tell us, right?

We sometimes use it when we make a mix of au gratin and/or scalloped potatoes. Diced ham is better though.

One of my comfort foods is Spam and cabbage. About once a year.

Change that to corned beef and cabbage and I'm with you!

I do that too but the Spam version is a lot faster. Fry up some onions and garlic (the start of any successful recipe) in a Dutch oven, add the cabbage and cubed Spam, cover, and cook until the cabbage is tender.

Unlike many people I do colcannon for St. Pat's Day. Cabbage and potatoes, if they were lucky, where what the Irish really ate after all the beef was shipped to Britain.

I've been in a cooking mood off and on for a couple of weeks. Meatloaf and scalloped potatoes have been on the menu recently. mmmmmmmm

Yeah, meatloaf... I've never been able to perfect the old diner meatloaf experience. I probably can't bring myself to add enough oatmeal, bread crumbs, and sawdust. It's hard to find any of that old diner comfort food anymore. I can come close with the rice pudding and a few other things.

Sounds good. I like rice pudding.

EEEEW! I can't eat let alone smell corned beef and cabbage!

Sucks to be you! ;)

nb

Walking home from our Boy Scout meeting on Friday nights *always* included a stop at the German deli for Rice Pudding and then a stop at the soda shop a few doors down for a Vanilla Egg Cream.

Queens, NY

I guess it is an acquired taste!
