I never thought I was a Spam kind of guy, but I have to say that by the end of this I developed a major appreciation for it. As much as it hurt to grind up a wagyu A5 steak, this was one of the most fun experiments to date!

[@wacotexas3011]

Am guessing cause Hawaii is more of a import so spam is the cheaper meat that import

[@incredible5587]

@@wacotexas3011 no and yes, the reason why it became so popular is because during WW2 they brought for the GI's and then became popular among the locals and yes it lasts and cheaper. they dont do a lot of agriculture in that state because they dont want to disturb the land. Teriyaki and Portuguese sausage flavors are manufactured specifically for Hawaiian people!! would be cool if he gave a little 30 second history lesson on it.

@@wacotexas3011 It goes back to WWII and is also cause of practical reasons. Across the Pacific Islands there are different people groups that live there to this day. But there is only so much land and not a lot for agriculture. Some islands are just atolls or super small. Spam became popular because Americans going from island to island during WWII brought the canned goods with them. For populations that were starving because of the war, some American planes would drop cargo onto islands (I believe even as far west as Papua New Guinea) with canned goods to eat.

@@Garvin285 Possibly. But, you can't get the same flavor, texture, or taste from those gross ass things, that you can from spam. Obviously not every person alive is gonna like spam, or Vienna sausages. But, spam is more versatile than Vienna sausages, and can be thrown together in almost anything. They've also got several different kinds, and flavors. Each flavor going great with eggs, on some toasted bread with melted cheese after being grilled, or even in ramen noodles. Try it with gross ass Vienna sausages (of which has a fraction of the flavors spam does) and people wouldn't be such a fan of spam, Let alone Michelin star chefs like Gordon Ramsay. Spam is a staple of several down home, comfort meals. Just because don't enjoy it, you haven't tried it, or you just have no intention doing so. Doesn't mean everyone else has to agree with your incorrect and asinine opinion on anything. 🤷🏻‍♂️
