The makers of Spam, saying that their “special relationship with the Hawaiian community spans decades,” have donated over 264,000 cans to aid the disaster-relief efforts on Maui, the company said in a press release.
Pacific Islanders are crazy about Spam. I believe it comes from WWII. But they have all kinds of Spam recipes and they’re way into it, so good for Hormel.
I knew a lot of people from Hawaii love spam but I never knew why…

If you have it prepared correctly it’s actually quite good. But prepared badly and it’s really really bad.
Spam is legit delicious when done right
How does one mess up Spam? Unless you eat it straight out of the can?

I would say yes.
Oh… oh god that sounds awful.
Next time pop it out of the can. Slice into 1cm or so slices. Eat on a slightly toasted bun with cheese, a nice strong mustard, and onion.
Or cut it into 1.5cm cubes. Toss in hot oil with some seasoning and stir fry rice into it.
The secret to spam is to brown it up. It’s still salty, but that’s part of the point. Spam musubi is a common thing, too.
Slice and fry. I make fried rice with it fairly often - the rice helps with the salt.
I usually eat with carbs - like bread or some sort of rice. LOL They have the “less sodium” version now.
I’ve met someone who swore it was terrible. They didn’t realize that people fried it up first. They’d been trying to eat sliced spam sandwiches straight from the can.
Never thought I’d read the phrase “beloved canned meat” but here we are
It’s pretty popular in Hawaii.
Dare I say - beloved?
Korea, too. It’s a fatty processed meat full of salt; if it’s not ruined it’s pretty tasty.
People in Hawaii are deadly serious about their Spam. It is a high-theft item so places like Walmart typically lock them up.
Spams decades
Comment I was hoping for. Missed opportunity on their part XD But Spam being bros either way.
The Filipino in me is going crazy rn
Uhhmm this could be one of two scenarios…
they are spamming their product… for a good cause of course
good on them - but there’s probably 4x more warehouses chock full of spam on that island alone. Hawaiians LOVE spam
