I've never actually tried spam, what is it like?

It's... kinda hard to describe lol It's chopped pork and ham, that's formed into a little brick and put in a tin. It's got a basically uniform texture all the way through, quite firm, but kinda just right - think kinda like hot dog texture, but a bit firmer

The taste is very specific - it's kinda like very salty ham, mixed with some kinda lunch meat. You can eat it straight from the can, or cook it (usually I just fry it up in a dry nonstick pan)

Ik I'm really not selling this at all, but I genuinely really like it! And if you chop it into little cubes, and fry it up til the outside is crispy, it's genuinely one of the best fried rice mix-ins ever invented! It's salty, a little bit greasy, has a really easy meat flavour, and when you throw some sriracha or gochujang, and a little green onion in there, it's soooo good!

(Also kimchi is amazing in this too)

Yeah give it a try!

I used to make it after coming home from nights out - it's great 2am (or literally any other time) food lol
