Lmao this guy is so wholesome. He's like that uncle you love more than your Dad.

[@lesleyadams4279]

We love spam fritters and corned beef fritters too. My husband doesn't like the batter on these. We make them ourselves and have them with fried or new potatoes, and with loads of grated cheese on top.

[@alunjones4427]

Remember going out lunch times when at senior school in the late 60s to the local chip shop to get these. They used to sell 2 Spam fitters in batter with chips & mushy peas for around 4s 6d.😋😋

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

bring back some memories

[@Lizzard-t]

Cooooooor back in the 1970's they were part of a meal my mum would knock up . Tried thease and thought not as I remember. Still good for be a cheap meal . The more I watch your videos the more I'm loving your whole persona . Down to earth and funny. Keep up the fantastic videos!

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Thankyou very kind of you to say. All the best.

[@iainreid9822]

We used to be served them in the Army. To be honest they were delicious with chips and beans.

[@IamBATMAN2024]

And egg!

Spam fritters are good but the Iceland ones are revolting

[@papaslippers9780]

Loved spam fritters when i was young my granny used to make them for me

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Lovely pal 😋👍👍

[@ilovecats1472]

Definitely can't beat making your own and so easy.

[@yamahonduki]

so, there was me enjoying the review, thinking "he probably paid about £2 for these, which works out at 50p each, not too bad", and then you go and say 10 bob each! and i thought, "my god, he's right!, thats flipping expensive for a bit of spam!". then i realised just how old i was, , , so thanks for that LOL.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Haha brilliant comment👌all the best, Gareth 👍

Not had these since primary school- usually followed by concrete cake and mint custard🤣 will have to try them again for old times sake.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Hope you enjoy

[@unicornpuffy8656]

This one just turned up on my recommended page this morning, I don't think I've ever had spam fritters before but I imagine they would be great with chips or mashed potato and mushy peas, I think some chip shops do them but spam is actually really popular in South Korea too they often dunk it in egg and fry it then serve it with kimchi which is like fermented cabbage in chilli paste type stuff, no also lots of rice and noodle dishes over there, they love their spice over there most dishes have some form of chilli paste in them xxx

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Cheers

[@madisonbarlow9256]

Brilliant video again hun. Had to play it to the hubby. Iv been ordered to go and get them! Air fryers are fantastic but don't do what I did, I prayed some of that one call spray on some peeled potatoes that I made into chips. You can never get if off, you can't scrub the inside cos they are non stick. Lost it after a while and binned it but really want another one. X

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Thanks Madison, yes they were tasty, thanks for the heads up with the air fryer 👍😋👍

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Yes scrubbed then too must of missed some paint lol. I'm real messy. Yes sorry I didn't show them, I started showing all the nutrition and ingredients from now on. It's important to know what's in food we eat. I never used to care before I started recording what I eat. Cheers pal

Only recently discovered you and your channel, so playing catch up. Loving everything so far. Noticed this one & one with the Tesco own spam. Have you tried PEK chopped ham and pork? It knocks Spam into a cocked hat. Mom always bought this brand and I still do today. Great cold on s'wich and even better fried with an egg. But it makes the BEST ham & cheese toasted butties!! As you say SPOT ON!!!!😁

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

welcome to the channel. Yes hadcthat its lovely. I will have to review it. All the best, Gareth.

Hi Peter, oh sorry I couldn't remember your name. I never know anyway if people like there name being called out or not. I remember you saying but I got hundreds of comments backed up. Sorry. Anyway yes they were spot on. They set me up this morning for the day. Cheers😋😋👍

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Cheers Neil, yes Iceland do ok food up to now, cheers pal 👍

[@luvuforeverjames]

Hi Gareth, they don't look too bad at all them! When we had them at school dinners though they were horrid....they were always fried and swimming in grease, so we would go for the meat and gristle pie (as we would refer to it) rather than have the fritter lol! When my son was little I would buy a tin of spam and grill slices to have with eggs and toast for breakfast...couldn't afford bacon back then and this was a cheap alternative.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Yes spam is lovely. We take a tin away when we go camping, you can't beat it yum

[@suesmith4930]

Not a cheap alternative now - disgusting price 😮😞

[@brianherring6393]

It's brought back memories school dinners spam fritters dripping in Greece is quarter inch better but you had it or starved keep up the good work all the best pàl

Cheers Brian yes it does do that doesn't it, thank you very much, Gareth, 👍👍

[@mickpeat6351]

I loved Spam Fritters from the chippy when I was in my teens (30+ years ago). When I saw these in Iceland I got so excited. They tasted nothing like they used too.

[@matty1597]

Times have moved on since them haha

[@robertlower6212]

Might try these for a bit of nostalgia! School dinners ... it'll be a first in 60+ years!

[@stevemee6640]

Great to hear someone else use old money. Ten bob a pop! Yeah!!

[@davidmacgregor5193]

I remember over fifty years ago when I was at school, Spam fritters were on the menu, unfortunately they were greasy and tasted awful. I've never forgotten how bad they were.

[@oldfatbastad6053]

anything spam and im shipping it green. bloody awful stuff.

[@stuartmccloud307]

Lol, thats what I thought, I remember school dinners in the North East in the 70's and we had Spam Fritters....basically survival food as opposed to a nice kids meal :)

[@MarkBrennan]

They used to sell them in Iceland and Tesco 5 or 6 years ago. I bought some then and wasn't impressed. They were a regular school dinner with mash and tinned spaghetti when I was at school in the late 60s/70s

[@stephenguppy7882]

Just seen this. I haven't seen these since I was at school and the school doctor got them banned (she was a spinster with no sense of humour so that says a lot) but I loved them with chips & beans. Hope they still sell them. I'm off to Iceland tomorrow. Yay!!🥂🍾👍Oh, and when you said about clean hands you reminded me of Fanny Cradock "I have washed my hands my darling" lol. 🤣

[@michaelaustin6877]

I love my spam... I usually pan fry but love the idea of batter like at the chippy. That's it, I'm off to Iceland looks really tasty. Thanks for the review Gareth 😋🙏

You very rarely get any air fryer cooking directions on food packaging so it’s a guessing game lol

Why not do a comparison of how it's cooked on the packaging instructions against the Air fryer? That would be good buddy. Keep the vids flowing.

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

Good idea Paul, I will do. Can do that with most of the food. Cheers bud😋👍👍

[@Yvonneb_]

I always get spam fritters from the chippy and they are lovely but then my son saw these and bought me them. They were lovely the first time but then he bought me a 2nd pack, they were rubbery and horrible. It's not turned me off the chippy ones though, even my son tried one and said oh yuk they are really rubbery and horrible. Xx

[@Dave.Thatcher1]

I first had spam fritters when working at Waterloo Stn in 1961/2. Although we had a staff canteen which served up decent "cheap" grub, myself and a workmate used to go to a small Italian run Cafe in Lower Marsh (runs alongside the Stn.) at least once a week, and we used to have these regularly with chips.....God! how I miss the way they did them....absolutely scrummy!! They also did what was called "Vienna steak" Heaven knows what was in them, but they tasted great.....always made us laugh after taking our order, we could hear her shouting to the cook in a thick Italian accent.......Vienna steak anna chip two time-ah.

Cheers David, many moons ago 😋👌👌

I am not a fan of too much salt so not sure if they will be for me. I also don’t think I have ever been to Iceland. I walk a lot and Iceland seems to be boxy frozen stuff which is heavy to carry. Also you get into a routine or I do of going to the same supermarket, although differs with where I am living. I prefer my spam with “spam, spam, egg and chips or spam, spam, spam, spam and spam.” 😁

[@BaldFoodieGuy]

haha Monty Python class

[@alisonmckinney2278]

You should get an Air fryer it’s a lot cheaper than turning on your oven. Air fryer is about £45 I couldn’t live without mine. It’s like a frying pan when your using it all the time the tefal non stick surface wears off and eventually you’ll just buy a new one but that’s 5 years or so down the road. They’re brill , but I can’t do chips et in them but everything else it’s brilliant

On the other hand I tried some of their crispy chicken nuggets and thought they were good with a real flavour of chicken breast.
