I just banned a user for spamming several stories. I also had to uninstall the flag-for-abuse system because it did not offer the control I needed. Someone will write something that works.

Advertising

Not all ads are verboten. If you have a TG book or movie for sale, you're welcome to post a blog notice saying so. For a TG book, you can even post it as fiction if you include a 500 word or larger excerpt.

Curb your tongue, Spam is, well Spam

Sephrenea,

my mother had relatives in Austin Minnesota and some worked for Hormel.

Span fed and clothed them. Oddly the British, the Philipinos and the Hawaiians almost revere Spam but then it was one of the very few meats you could get in and just after WWII and needed no refrigeration.

Mc Donalds's has it on their breakfast menu under Local breakfast platters -- Spam, eggs and rice. Sorry, no Spam, eggs, sausage and Spam. I'm not joking. I have digital photo from the Mc Donald's in Kona, Hawaii but it's too big for a quick download.

Cut small and fried it's not bad in scrabbled eggs. By itself it's a bit salty but when you don't have refrigeration or have a cheap styro icechest/coooler. We used it quite often in the Boy Scouts.

Let's have no more bad mouthing Spam.

Sorry, I couldn't resist either.

Spam will be served

erin's picture

Okay, you made me hungry enough to serve a recipe, sort of a recipe.

This is a big undertaking, like for a charity picnic breakfast.

Cook several skillets of sliced spam until nicely browned. Save the grease.

In one of the skillets add enough grease (or veggie oil if you chicken out :)) to fry up diced potatoes, nice and golden. Use enough grease or oil to almost cover the potatoes and after you put them in, don't stir or turn them until they are nearly done. Take the potatoes out and put them in a bowl lined with papertowels to soak up excess grease.

In another skillet, with less grease, fry some sliced onions until they begin to get tender, (save a few of these grilled onions to add to the scrambled eggs), add diced potatoes. Before the potatoes are done, add sliced green and red bell peppers. You can stir this one as needed. It won't be as greasy and the onions would stick to the paper towels so don't use that trick when you serve them.

In a big bowl, beat some eggs with a little added water for fluffiness. Make some skillets of scrambled eggs. Add diced spam, grilled onions, or diced pepppers as you prefer. Make two or three versions of these scrambled eggs, someone is going to find a favorite.

Since everything is cooked in spam grease, don't touch the salt shaker.

You can use some of the grease to make gravy if you are feeding lumberjacks or fishermen. If you've fried some of the spam really thin, you can cut it into one inch pieces and make creamed spam on biscuits (or some other bread, toasted English muffins are good).

Serve with fresh hot biscuits, butter, homemade jams, sliced tomatoes, orange juice, milk, coffee, hot tea or if you have enough Southerners, Coca Cola. :)

People may talk about this feed for years. :)

SPAM - Survives

... a nuclear holocaust and still can be spread on other author's stories in the far future.... It is that well made with artificial preservatives and nanobots! Maybe see the House Horm(on)el built entirely out of SPAM? Hmm, id say ban the stuff before it invades us :P hehe

Please keep diligently on watch Erin... and id be interested in other recipes.
