The Spam Museum - A Celebration of Canned Meat - Austin, MN

[@DanaBrady-h9m]

M y 91 year old Dad was a Spam salesman 70 plus years ago living in Austin cannot wait to show him this video Thanks Jacob glad Jenn allows u to eat spam

[@bobknobbe3561]

what? a Spam " salesman"? that doesnt even make sense. Do you mean sold it in a grocery store?

[@horseplop9]

​@bobknobbe3561 In fairness he did say 71 years ago so maybe in the 1950s they did. Who knows Either way Spam won't exist soon. It's gross and the younger gen won't eat it

[@elf5012]

My late father served in WWII as a DC9 mechanic in Samoa. All of our childhood, Spam was not allowed in our home because Dad was so sick of eating it as rations during the war.

[@therealpatricklyons]

It probably took him back to horrific memories, as well.

[@niksalubayba6714]

Adding to the tocino comments (pronounced “toe-see-no”), tocino is sweet marinated pork belly in the Philippines. Spam is huge in the Philippines along with other canned meats like corned beef and vienna sausages.

[@Cre80s]

Probably the most amazing part of the Python SPAM skit is how trapped the woman was in being forced to eat SPAM because she couldn't order any of the dishes sans SPAM because it wouldn't be that dish if you took the SPAM out, so it would become a dish they don't offer. A crowning achievement in alternate universe bizarre nerd humor.

[@kookiemonster9222]

I’m amazed. I’m considerably older than you, C’bagger, & I thought those younger than me would never had heard of Spam. I ate & loved it as a child but not thought about it since 😊

[@angiemurphy2423]

I didn't know that there were so many different flavours of SPAM. Here in England we only get plain original SPAM, we like it. SPAM = SPECIALLY PRODUCED AMERICAN MEAT.

[@AKayfabe]

they make Figgy Pudding SPAM limited edition last Christmas and I assumed that was a UK flavor?

[@angiemurphy2423]

@@AKayfabe I don't think the SPAM figgy pudding came to the UK. It's what is known here now as Christmas pudding, which is a British christmas staple. We have one every year. I Don't make it from scratch, thought many do, our goes in the microwave for a couple of minutes.

[@ichtyophobia]

Wow. I am from Sweden and I had no idea that spam came with different taste and forms. When I was a poor student I bought spam and canned food. I had no idea how to bake spam I thought people only ate it cold as it was.😅 Thanks for posting this. Today I have learned something new.

[@cindyrice490]

Tocino is a pork-belly product common in the Philippines that's been cured in a sweet marinade and is frequently served for breakfast. Spam's take on the dish definitely captures that sweet, bacon-y flavor, so much so that it makes us want to run out and buy the real thing for a direct

Spam was always great in family camping trips 😊😊😊😊

First time I had SPAM was on family camping trip (50+ years ago). Cooked with some canned baked beans in a cast iron skillet over an open campfire. One of my best meals ever!

I love how Spam rhymes with so much. Who'd-a-thunk that Spam could get funnier than the memes.

OmyGosh! I was there at the same time as you! I was part of the tour that was going through. It's so fun to see you go through the museum because I wasn't able to try out any of the interactive stuff!

I’m not a big Spam guy, but I would go to that museum. Monty Python’s Flying Circus made me want to sing the song.

[@silverghostcat1924]

It's similar but I prefer Treet. My mom used to bread it and fry it, yum. Another way I like Spam/Treet, cube it, fry it til it's really brown then put it in a bowl of cooked 🍚 rice 😸

A story regarding Spam that sticks in my mind is of a Sailor who survived the sinking of the USS Indianapolis.
