The Magical, Mystical World of SPAM

When it comes to food, I rarely turn down a dare. Whether the food in question is haggis or headcheese, tongue tacos or tortoise soup, I'm usually up for a challenge. Even so, there is one food that I have studiously avoided for my entire life.

Spam.

I am like you.  I'm very adventurous with food, except in the case of canned meat.  There's just something about meat....in a can??  I think I've had spam once, and that was all it took.  Ditto those hot dog things that come in a can.  Gross.

I think Christopher Moore would be amused at his novel is being used as an historical source.  While he did a lot of research about cannibalism and cargo cults, he freely admits the large amounts of artistic license he took in Island of the Sequined Love Nun. 

Having lived in Alaska, I can tell you the Great White (American) North is near-equally obsessed with Spam.

Sounds like the title of a musical. Dancing cans, smiling meat costumes, anti-vegetarian lyrics...

A musical version of Dante's Inferno, I might add

That was my first thought, too.  I didn't realize right away that the thread was started by Lyric herself, and was looking forward to seeing the original message in the staff folder (some of them are just absurd - being able to see them in their glory has been a sort of perk for me ever since I joined the staff).

I think we all must be being extra annoying lately, and have inadvertently activated Lyricfox's spam reflex.

Or I just haven't had the chance to post many SPAM recipes lately.
