It's funny how the Hormel company has embraced the notoriety that Monty Python brought to their product back in the '70s (and later their stage musical "Spamelot") by making their mascot the same style character.
When i was a kid we didnt have much... I would cook ramen noodles and cut up Spam into it and I swear it was delicious. I haven't ate spam in at least about 20 plus years lol
Aloha Carpetbagger! One of my favorite Spam Hawaiian recipes is to fry it with brown sugar, Shoyu, & chopped Pineapple, serve over 2 scoops rice😊Yum!🍍🐷👍We call the rice/Spam Seaweed wrap on the cover of the Teriyaki Can; Spam "Musubi".
I wanted to say I really appreciate your videos. They are fun and relaxing. The world can be such a stressful place (I work with "high needs" children in DHS custody) and your videos help with my own "self care". 👍it is amazing how one contributes to the world with our gifts 🙂😄
just thought i would add this. the Spam sushi is called "spam musubi". I visited my brother when he was going to the university of Hawaii and it was everywhere. Really good stuff.
My friend talked about going there to the Spam museum! I didn't think I would be able to go but now you took us there. I saw that Spam spread at the local grocery store! I'm not old but I will remember the key on Spam cans. They were fun to open and everyone was disappointed when they went to the pull top.Thank you!
I am such a SPAM/pseudo Spam lover. My daughter inlaw brought me a Spam cookbook last Christmas. She on the other hand can't stand the sight of it. So I shared this on my FB page and Tagged her and said we need to go..... ; )
If you drive north a bit to Red Wing, MN you can see the world's largest boot at the Red Wing Shoe Flagship Store, then filming locations for Grump Old Men in Red Wing and Wabasha, then go to Kellogg, MN to visit Lark Toys where they make hand-made toys and you can ride a hand-built carousel.
I’m from Hawaii and I LOVE Spam. I live in Arizona now, and when I go home I bee line it to Seven Eleven to get spam musubi. That’s the spam slice on rice wrapped in nori you were calling spam sushi. I guess it is spam sushi! We call it spam musubi (moo sue BEE). It is SO yummy!
What a fun museum! I have to say, while I enjoyed Spam breakfasts when I was a kid (usually fried slices), when I tried it again after a few decades as an adult, it wasn't as delicious as I remembered it being...
Sure has been along time since I've tasted Spam. My Mother use to grate 1 can with 8oz. grated cheese mix together place generous spoonfuls on opened hamburger bun halves baked in the 350* in the oven 15-20 minutes (?) served with home made cream of potato soup. Great on a cold night! (they were served as an open face sandwich.)
We just spent our 20th wedding anniversary at the SPAM Museum. Glad to see you made it there! Terrific job showing the place. I brought home the larger SPAM slicer, and some Portuguese Sausage SPAM that’s only sold there in the USA. Really good stuff!
Jacob, It's funny you mention Monty Python here's a fact thats very true back when the musical Spam a lot opened in new York in the theater lobby they sold limited edition of spam called the honey grail they had the cartoon character of the flying circus. It was wonderful that the makers of spam allowed the use of the name in the musical's name
So Jacob, I also love SPAM, I have a pic of a can as wallpaper here. Suggest you do what I do here about the smell. Buy a hot plate and cook it on the porch. I retired and when my husband passed I moved with daughter and her family. Because they cant stand the smell, I cook my pigs feet (love my trotters) outside. I bought a double one from Amazon at a fair price so I can boil dill flavored potatoes to go with it....YUM...…Love to you and family as always.
We were there 2 weeks ago. You should have had lunch at Piggy Blues Bar-B-Que across the street. I had the SPAMBurger. it was excellent. Several of the restaurants in Austin offer SPAM items on their menus. Our next stop after this was Wall Drugs in SD. We were on our way to Seattle.
Thanks for visiting Minnesota Jacob! Keep making great content. Check grocery stores if you're still in Minnesota and I'm sure you'll find the Spam spread.
I’m surprised how you don’t have a lot of subscribers yet. But I definitely can’t wait to complete my bucket list to visit every museums you went to feel the experience to see things in person. Spam will be the #1 on the list now lol 💜
SPAM gets a bad wrap but it's really not that bad. Really just like a salty ham. Good if you pan fry it to drive off some of the moisture. I've been to the museum as well and its actually a really solid attraction. Makes a nice stop if you are visiting the Mall of America or the border waters.
I like to slice my spam into thin slices and fry it up in a pan with some eggs and toast for breakfast. I call it cheap bacon lol. I love spam. Cooked or straight from the can, either way!
Just an interesting fact- more Spam is eaten in Hawaii per capita than in any other state. Hawaiians got introduced to Spam by the military presence during WWII!
if your still in minnesota this weekend, you should head to Northfield, MN. Its the Defeat of Jesse James days festival. One of the biggest festivals in MN. They reenact the gunfight where Jesse James and his gang were defeated by the towns people after they try to rob the local bank.
My dad LOVES fried spam sandwiches and always makes or has my mom make spam mac n cheese. I used to love it as a kid. One time he made it and I got a terrible headache and nauseous as hell. I didn't think anything of it until the next time I had spam and the same thing happened. My doctor said that it was probably due to nitrates, as most hot dogs have the same effect on me, and give me terrible headaches, as does many lunch meats unless they're nitrate free. Apparently packaged meat products have nitrates in them which cause headaches to some. I've never been able to eat it since and even the smell makes me nauseous.
