Some of you may know that I plan to enter every cooking competition for the State Fair next year. One of the competitions is for Spam. I have never, ever, dealt with this product!
Any suggestions for what I can do with Spam would be appreciated. I don’t want to go buy a bunch of cans of this stuff without a game plan in place…I AM on a budget
Seriously, I would appreciate any thoughts that anyone may have;-D - November 4, 2013 at 1:20 pm #444939wilbe95I don’t use Spam, it just kind of grosses me out anymore. My Dad on the other hand lives on the stuff, lol. Think of it as sort of a ham.
He will use it is omelets, just fry it in a skillet and eat it as a sandwich, on salads like you would steak or chicken, works well with Ramen noodles. Hope this helps you a little. Good luck on the competition.

Wilbe! My friend…how are you!?? Thanks for the info on how your Dad eats Spam.
I will view it as canned ham and experiment from there! lol! maybe you can get your dad to try out recipes that i can come up with and let me know how they work.(i still can’t believe that they are actually having a competition for this! lol!) you would think that they would focus on home grown products…well…since you said to think of it as ham…we do produce a lot of pork here…
i’ll keep you posted! what comes to mind is breakfast recipes, but i’ll think on it…
thanks, my friend… - November 10, 2013 at 8:54 pm #445080MrsPaws
My Hubby absolutely LOVES Spam! Sooooo…here’s some of the ways I’ve used it:
fried spam sandwiches
fried spam (as the main dish protein), with sides
dice it and saute-add to egg dishes, top baked potatoes, spam, onion, and potato hash, add to fried rice or stir fry, add to mac and cheese-hm or commercial. I’ve even seen recipes for spam sushi, but haven’t tried them.lol - November 11, 2013 at 12:23 am #445084mos
Ham sushi…isn’t that a contradiction in terms I mean an ultimate processed product as a ‘raw’ product?!! giggle…
I’m trying to think of spam as a canned-ham product as my good friend, Wilbe, suggests.
I particularly like your ideas with eggs, hash potatoes, or stir-fry.I’m really thinking that I should shoot for a breakfast/brunch kinda recipe. I’m going to buy my first can of spam this week and will let you know.
Here’s a question for the ‘spam’ experts…do I use the whole can or spread the can out for a number of recipes? What a question, eh?!!
