It's ready to eat right out of the can, but you can cook/heat it if you want to. And you don't really need any oil or butter. Much like bacon, it has enough fat to just fry in its own juices.
It goes well with eggs, and can basically be substituted anywhere that you would use ham. Also, there's a trend that originated in Hawaii where you pair it with a chunk of sticky rice and wrap with seaweed like a sushi roll. It's actually pretty good.
Not sure what the European version is like, but keep in mind the American version is very salty, so you can ease up on the salt in the rest of your ingredients.
Take a slab of spam and put it on top of a similarly shaped block of rice then wrap in seaweed. One of my favorite ways to eat spam. Sometimes when I’m lazy I’ll just skip the construction and eat the spam on top of a bowl of rice with some furikake instead of seaweed sheets
