In Hawaii, you can now get a Croissanwich with Spam, Spam, eggs, and Spam.

Well, that's great, and I'm all in favor of more customer choice, but it's hardly news. It's a slight-of-hand story, designed to keep their audience unaware of other, more important stories that they're not covering.

There are no words to describe my feelings about this. Just, ugh.

I especially love the article's description of Spam as "cans of gelatinous pork bricks". That has to be the best description I've ever seen. :)

being a southerner, i feel jilted. spam is more than a gelatinous pork product, it comes in a poptop can.

Spammity spam, spammity spam!

My Hawaiian friend wrapped Spam with rice and nori.
Not bad.
I understand one of the secrets is they wash the hell out of the SPAM to get the gelatin off.

But what do they put in the quarter pounder?

for some reason unexplained to a mere mainlander such as myself. Spam is extremely popular in Hawaii. When I was there on vacation we saw it allover the place.

Guam's an island with better taste. The people of Guam are big, BIG consumers of Tabasco. :-)

Oh yeah, spam is the food of kings in Hawaii. I know three native Hawaiians and they all tell me that grocery stores on the islands typically have an entire asile dedicated to spam.

I attribute it to the fact that the truly "kingly" meals of Hawaiian ancestry were suckling pig... the only meat besides fish that they had access to.
