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.

It would be a bit salty if you don't put any other things with the tinned meat. I usually put this tinned meat into fried rice with onion and vegetables which makes the rice more tasty without adding extra salt.

"Classic Ham" can refer to different products, so feedback depends on the specific product you are asking about; for example, a 2024 CHOICE blind taste test found the Seven Mile Premium Double Smoked Leg Ham from IGA to be the best Christmas ham, while Coles brands scored the lowest. For generic "classic" or "traditional" ham, feedback is highly subjective, but it's generally praised for its smoky flavor, tender texture, and suitability for sandwiches, while some find it too salty or the texture can be tough.
General Ham Feedback
Flavor:
Many consumers enjoy the rich, smoky flavor and appreciate its versatility for various meals.
Texture:
The texture is often described as tender and moist, though some users note it can be tough or dry if not cooked properly.
Smell:
A classic ham's aroma is often pleasant and savory, contributing to the overall dining experience.
Saltiness:
Some consumers find the salt content too high, while others prefer it for its savory profile.
Examples of Specific "Classic Ham" feedback
Seven Mile Premium Double Smoked Leg Ham (IGA):
Awarded the best tasting Christmas ham by Ritchies and CHOICE in 2024, praised for its flavor and texture.
Woolworths Smoked Sliced Ham Off The Bone:
Described as tasty with a nice, non-overpowering smoky flavor and a fresh quality suitable for sandwiches.
How to Get Specific Feedback
To get accurate feedback on "Classic Ham," you need to specify:
The brand name (e.g., Coles, Woolworths, IGA, a specific butcher brand)
The type of ham (e.g., sliced, leg ham, pre-cooked, smoked)
Where it was purchased (e.g., a supermarket, local butcher)
