My friends have a Korean sister-in-law and we were baffled by her love of Spam. It's something most people kind of look down on here, kept around for emergencies because it's shelf stable and used only when there's nothing else around. They bought her a Spam T shirt that she loved wearing. They do manufacture Spam in other countries, but it's different than what we have here. Usually not as salty. People in Korea like the American version too though. Whenever my friends' sister-in-law went back to Korea, they'd take cases of Spam for their relatives. That was when you could take as much baggage as you wanted or pay a little extra. Not like flying now.

Ma Ling is also the most pirated brand because of its fame. This brand existed since the 80s'. I grew up eating this. 😁Its original orange color label is the one that made it famous. The pirated ones had other animal meats and even cardboard mixed into it. It really affected the company reputation back then. But today the best ones are either from Singapore or Korea. Namely Golden Bridge brand and Lotte.

I have tried every thing in the Asian Market (that seems edible or drinkable) except that. I never dreamed.... Worse yet I have tried a few SPAM substitutes that were grossly inferior, maybe inedible and clearly I'm not a picky eater. BUT this Ma Ling product is easy to find and it looks great! Will this be the SPAM Musubi of HISTORY? Anyway, I enjoyed watching this, a video about a topic that you could hardly bring up where I live.

Due to all of the Americans being posted to the Philippines, and Polynesia during WWII, and that SPAM was extensively used for rations, the region was introduced to SPAM. It has become a staple for the region even now. Check out all the flavors of SPAM available in Hawai"i, where it is used in gourmet cooking. I personally love the Hickory Smoke flavor that is usually available in the continental US. My Grandfather, who was a Bombardier in a B-24 during WWII, was shot down and incarcerated in a German POW camp. They would get cans of SPAM in their Red Cross parcels. I guess they got sick of it, because he told me that the men in his barracks planned bombing raids on the Hormel plant in Chicago. After the war he would not allow it in his home.

Your recipe for Spam is fantastic. It tastes just like Spam did back in the '60's. I make it at least once a year, if not twice. I get around 6 1 pound loafs that I vacuum seal, cook sous vide and stick in the freezer. I rarely cook it, preferring to slice it and eat it on Stoned Wheat Thins. My husband likes to fry it up with his eggs in the morning. A can of Spam here (southwest Ontario) is nearly $4, so I find your recipe very cost effective as well. May try the Holland brand, but although I am in Canada and have access to the others, they don't appeal to me. Thanks for your research.

I cook it sous vide, which means sealed in a plastic bag without air, under water, at a specific temperature, for a substantial amount of time, because I like the texture. I rarely "cook" it, meaning I simply slice it and eat it, I do not fry it. My husband likes his heated, even crispy at the edges. I freeze it because this is a large recipe and as I said, I do not pressure can it, I cook it sous vide, so it will not keep very long in the fridge.

I lived in Germany for 6 years and one of the first time I had eggs they tasted fishy. I asked why it was and was told that the farmers feed the chicken ground fish bones with the pellets to the chickens and that's why they have a fish flavor. You get used to after a while and it is my guess that is what is going on with the second Canadian meat product you tasted.

Fun fact: I've been to the Japanese island of Okinawa that was occupied by the US until the 70s, and Spam is a regular ingredient on the island. For example, they put it between rice and wrap toasted seaweed around it, similar to Japanese rice balls, the onigiri. It tastes surprisingly good, ironically one of the meals that left the biggest impression on me during my Japan trip.

Hey we in Germany practice something similar. Dosenwurst (eng. canned sausage), is sausage filling boiled in a can. And as the greatest sausage civilization, besides maybe the Italians (from whom America got its ground up meat in a sock), I think it is safe to say it’s a bit better than spam (especially since we have a large variety, Chunky with Sülze, Chunky with spices, Smooth ground with spices, horrible liquified chicken reconstituted with starch into something apparently solid, fat chunks in smooth ground, coarse ground, course ground with spices, ground Innards (/Organs) with, without, Sülze, coarse, smooth, different ratios between different meats and organs to fit local custom (also coming with conveniently packed legal disputes over what can be called what where and what the exact requirements for regional protection of a certain good is). TLDR: Germany got a lot of sausage and at some point we thought: “Why not put it in a can?”.

I went to one once in Philadelphia ("Net Cost" I think) which had a sausage collection, the glass counter must have been thirty feet long... you needed a consultation! It made me want to move there. It was sorted out by nationality, so the first question was where are you from? Where are your grandparents from? Like that. Discounted stuff and packages of "ends" were on top of the counter.

You're right about those canned meat metal keys on them! In fact, my mom saved two of those from full sized ham containers to use as "keys" to unlock a couple of the doors in our hallway that could lock because they were the 1950s doorknobs that required a long bar to unlatch them. So those keys sat atop the door jambs!

Larry, it is strange nobody sent you a can of TULIP (the 2nd best selling luncheon meat in the World behind Spam) from Denmark or one of the private label brands that Tulip makes (est. DK 65 EF). Here in Puerto Rico we have both Tulip brand (at ~ U$2.50- 3.00 / 12oz. can) and a few private label brands that Tulip makes under the same factory code (nearest to me is Supermax pork luncheon meat at ~ U$1.67-2.10 / 12oz. can) competing against Hormel Spam (~ U$3.20-3.50 / 12oz. can). BTW, I understand Tulip also makes under license from Hormel the Spam sold in Europe as well. Other luncheon meats are "fine", but the inclusion of CHICKEN, either exclusively or in combination with PORK / HAM makes them (like Treet) different products than either Spam or Tulip.

I’m realizing, if God forbid, I have to resort to the stockpile, I’m gonna get pretty tired of eating the same old thing day after day. Howbout doing a series on recipes made from “Apocalypse Pantry” type foods that can keep us excited about eating Spaghettio’s and canned corn for the 300th day in a row? I mean it would come in handy even if WW3 doesn’t break out cuz eventually I’ll be eating it all anyway, right? Thanks!

What you really need is a good range of herbs and spices. Corned Beef, Spam (if it's the leaner stuff), fish be it salmon, tuna, mackrel., pilchards or any of the others in olive oil are good and mixed beans are good sources of protein. That's a different source of protein every day. Rice pasta cous-cous, and quinoi are good sources of carbs as is ships biscuit (which if made correctly stores for centuries). There are loads of different veg and fruit that are tinned. You could easily have a different main meal every day for a month.

My family tried total off grid living in the White Mountains in Arizona. Spam made it's way into our diet seeing refrigeration and freezing wasn't in the cards. We used it not only for sandwiches and breakfast sides, but meals where we would use meat in it. One of which we created was "spamghetti", which was spaghetti made with spicy spam. It's much more versatile now that there are more flavors, like spicy, teriyaki, smoked and so on. Not all stores carry an assortment of different flavors of Spam. I've only seen one Walmart in a small town called Show Low that had every flavor Spam has made. Where we live now (after we had enough of that crap and limped it back to civilization) there's only smoked, original, and lite sodium spam at the local Walmart.

Tulip brand "Bacon Grill" tends to be my favorite. One thing to note is that food production and packaging rules outside the US are very different to our own. Specifically, processed meats must identify the exact content and percentages of ACTUAL MEAT in the product. I like knowing what percentage of my food is gelatin and other filler.

I liked your video and I like SPAM. Many canned products had keys like a lot of your viewers pointed out especially coffee so you could put the lid back on to keep it fresh, or at least as fresh as you could. What I remember most was when they started using the cans that needed an opener a plastic lid was included on the can when you bought it and was advertised to keep the coffee fresh. I lived in NAVY Housing in Long Beach, CA. where my dad was stationed when I was a little kid and everybody in the neighborhood drank coffee and us kids would collect the cans with the plastic lid and used them for everything from drum sets (different sizes had different tones and flip them upside down and you had kind of a cowbell symbol cross) to marble containers to June Bug collectors to stash cans. I'd stash coins in one and marbles in another. I still have a metal FOLGERS can with 16 penny nails in it that I carried in one service truck or another for thirty years. The plastic lid finally met it's demise but the can is still going strong.

Ma-Ling is a Chinese food manufacturing conglomerate that was originally founded 1930's, in Shanghai China. That's why the luncheon meat has a flavor profile that's tuned more towards Chinese appetite, especially southern China where Shanghai is. I'd only buy it if it's made here in North America (usually Canada in my neighborhood stores). This Holland version maybe acceptable too. It tastes better and has lower sodium, what my doctor wanted :)

I like cutting the spam like in the spam slicer, but then slice it again into sticks. I then stick them in the air fryer and cook them that way. Crispy exterior and the soft meaty interior. I also like rolling them into a panko bread crumb and deep frying them into crunchy spam sticks/fingers.

2:09 Yes, I have that exact SPAM slicer. It's wonderful; each slice is one oz.

There's a Dutch canned meat called Smac that's also very similar to Spam, I'd like to hear your opinion on it.

I recall a desert cake or pudding in a can that had the key opening system. My folks liked them.

As a Canadian I can confirm Compliments is the budget store brand of Sobey's grocery stores. Their meat products in general are questionable quality :-( I used to eat Kam and raw onion sandwiches years ago. But I have an intolerance to raw onions and such now. Was my go-to after school then though. Haven't had it for over a decade though

It's the generic store brand of IGA in Quebec and a bunch of other mainstream to budget grocery stores too. Most places that aren't carrying President's Choice/No Name tend to have Our Compliments or (drawing a blank)... there's a third big "store brand" (outside the the Walmart/Costco store brands).

I’ve always found that I actually prefer the other Canadian brand ‘Klik’ from Maple Leaf. When I go camping I really like fried Klik and beans. Kam always had a weird taste I did not take to.

Literally everything, canned or otherwise that comes out of sobeys is of questionable quality. Especially the meat. You couldn't pay me enough to eat it and I won't even touch it without gloves on
