  I agree w/hambeak. If you like tongues, eyeballs, assholes, and snouts eat away my friends.

  I had my fill when I was a wee girl. Cheap food from the WW2 time and my parents didn't have much. We had tomatoes from the garden and spam almost every meal.

     • In Korea, SPAM is sold in stylish presentation gift boxes of nine cans each. SPAM stolen from army PXs can be found on the Korean black market. And there are Korean imitations called Lo-Spam, Dak, Plumrose, and Tulip, to ensure that no one need go without.

  Filled up on some SPAM tonight. Oh, was it good. I find that most people who dislike it, either never had it or never had it prepared right for them. There is so many ways to eat SPAM. With eggs in the morning, oh that is good stuff there.
