Spam is a well-known tinned meat made mainly from pork and ham.
Short Review
Taste:
Salty and savoury with a strong ham flavour. When fried, it develops a crispy outside which improves the taste a lot.
Texture:
Soft and slightly dense straight from the can, but firmer and more enjoyable when pan-fried.
Uses:
Good in sandwiches, fried with eggs, diced into fried rice, or added to noodles.
Pros:
Long shelf life
Quick and easy to cook
Versatile in many meals
Cons:
Quite high in salt and fat
Some people find the flavour too salty if eaten plain
⭐ Overall: Convenient pantry food that tastes best when cooked rather than eaten straight from the tin.

Have recently started consuming Spam and the kids like it. I cook it Asian style (pan fry/sear with sauces) and put in sandwiches for lunch boxes. Very tasty and affordable. Makes for a quick meal when one is short on time.

We always buy spam once our pantry doesn’t have any! As a mum, I’ve always chosen this brand- it’s just a classic. Very easy to cook on a fry-pan, the salty flavour is unbeatable and my kids eat all of it!
