  I'm not sure there are any canned meats quite like Spam and

  Spam.  It's one step above Spam, yet several notches below
  Bumblebee Tuna.

Above Spam?  ABOVE Spam?  Have you been smoking crack?  Treet is Spam's poor
white trash cousin who escapes his trailer home and his housecoat wearing, Bon
Bon eating, Jerry Springer watching wife nagging him to do something about the
old Ford pickup whose bed is rusted out up on cinder blocks in the front yard
by coming over to Spam's house and leaving an oily, dirty stain on the
furniture and carpets.

   No no no no no.  You've confused the scale.  Down is good!
   (Believe me, I loathe Bumblebee Tuna, but it's got nowhere
   near the pain quotient of Treet or Spam.)

   And actually, you may be paying Treet a compliment with your
   characterisation.  ;)

As an aside, I once lived with a guy who insisted on cooking slices of Spam in
a broiler-toaster.  The whole place would small like burning tires for hours.

   BWAAAAA!  I think I lived with the same guy my first year of
   grad school!  Although, he would pan-fry his--leave it there
   to get nice and crispy and yellowish-brown on the bottom, and
   then flip it over...it did smell for all the world like burning
   plastic.

You didn't go to Carnegie Mellon for grad school by any chance, did you? That's where this guy ended up. eric (24 years ago, 8-Dec-00, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build)

(...) Oh, please- you guys are way over the top. There's nothing sinister about pan-frying Spam. That's the first step towards Spambled eggs- which is a breakfast that my kids really like. You think I'm kidding, don't you? I've never thought of Spam (...) (24 years ago, 8-Dec-00, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build)
