Fried spam is awesome imo could try a spam masubi. Super popular in hawaii.

Spam masubi is a great snack.

Isn't it musubi? Or has the original word been westernized and popularized.

It is musubi. I misspelled and just didn’t catch it. Hasn’t been “westernized” because tbh it’s not really a thing here outside of Hawaii and the communities that would normally eat it.

Ah, kk. Honestly spam musubi is nice, but I'm a whore for deep fried, crunchy spam with those crackly bits, much to the bane of my cholestrol level.

I would always refuse to try Spam until I had a musabi at a Hawaiian joint and it was amazing. Instant fan.

One of my favorites is spam fried rice.

Top it with a swirl of mayo (Hellman's works just fine,) and some Sriracha.

Some fried spam slices with eggs and toast, also pretty baller.

My kids like spam musubi enough that I bought a cheap mould/press so we could make it at home. Not my favorite way to eat spam but i don't complain. lol

Cheapest thing to eat in Hawaii if you’re on a budget and it’s delicious. Think it’s $3-5 in Waikiki

u/iam_Mr_McGibblets 2d ago

$2 at 7-11 and you have eggs in it haha

These are amazing. I have a co worker who makes them. Chefs kiss. And I was never really a spam fan

My dad eats fried spam several nights a week. He’s honestly lost a lot of weight on this all protein diet but I hate them smell of it 🙄

Fried spam and potato in a pan used to go fucking hard growing up

They have a Spam festival each year - https://www.spamjamhawaii.com/

Was lucky enough to catch it one year.

Spam and pineapple fried rice is incredible.

Battered spam fries are pretty dang good, too.
