Grossness!! According to Wikipedia: Spam luncheon meat is a canned precooked meat product made by the Hormel Foods Corporation. The labeled ingredients in the Classic variety of Spam are: chopped pork shoulder meat with ham meat added, salt, water, sugar, and sodium nitrite to help "keep its color".

The word comes from wartime compression of pressed ham.

Spam, is a portmanteau of shoulder pork and ham, it's original ingredients. The owner of hormel foods had an excess of said pig products and did not know to get them off his hands. Thus, he mixed them together with some prservatives and put them in a can, negotiated a government contract so that a can of spam was included in every American soldiers care package. The soldiers did not like Spam and only ate as a last resort. When the people of Okinawa surrendered, they were starving, and the soldiers gave them Spam. Since then Okinawans (and Hawaiians) love Spam

We ate a lot of Spam during WWII as it was an easier meat to get because most of the good meat was sent to the troops. My mother would fix it like a ham putting some spices probably oregano and thyme I remember she would put cloves in it as well. I guess it was from those days during the war but I never thought Spam had that bad of a taste and like fried Spam yet today. If it just wasn't so full of fat! We did a lot of things during the war people today would never think of or put up with doing. But we had a good life back then even with rationing and red/orange tires!
