Dollar General SPAM vs. Dollar Tree TREET - WHAT ARE WE EATING?? - The Wolfe Pit

[@clutchcargo666]

Mr Wolfe. I was in a 99cent store the other day and like you, I am fascinated by the frozen food section. I noticed what looked like your standard cheep tube hamburger (normally $3 for a 1lb tube) and was curious how they could sell it for $1. I inspected it and it contains the same ingredients one of your recent hamburger patty reviews contained. Beef, beef hearts and textured vegetable protein! A whole pound of it for a dollar! You MUST review it. I would, but it scared the hell out of me.

[@stevenzehfu3915]

Probably much older beef from geographically farther location, with far less health and safety standards - worse cuts ranging from gross to questionable pieces. 10 cents for the plastic wrapping and you've got BEEF

[@clutchcargo666]

Remember on "Cheers", Norm took Cliff to The Hungry Heifer and mentioned how good the BEF was. Cliff corrected him and said "you mean BEEF". Norm said no, BEF is HH's trademarked.... meat-like substance. When Cliff looked at him in disgust, Norm said "I dunno, you seemed to really enjoy your LOOBSTER."

[@genocidejoe523]

[@wandaoneal131]

I like potted meat on crackers once in a while. I like the salty taste.

[@leonardpearlman4017]

@@TheWolfePit It's funny, I liked potted meat a lot when I was a kid, we used to carry it when I was in the Boy Scouts. I got to a certain age and was able to understand the label and got grossed out and stopped eating it! I think now (fifty years later) I could face it again and judge it on its merits. For the record I think a few slices of SPAM fried up and eaten while they're still hot are something I'll eat with real enthusiasm, TREET seems sad and questionable, getting closer to stuff like canned vienna sausages (say) that are edible but just seem like emergency food, or something you might like if you were on a camping trip.

[@avabethmcghee3048]

So... it's edible, even enjoyable, if you fry it up & serve it alongside some eggs, toast and some honey-dew, just like regular spam. Only it has lower sodium, so you have more palate-space for spices? I guess I'm stocking up next time I hit Dollar Tree. Thanks for this video, stuff like this makes living humbly much easier.

I like to shred Spam on a box grater and make "ham" salad out of it. It's very tasty that way.

My local dollar stores sell the cloverdale brand for within a dimes price of what the big grocery stores sell spam for on sale. Food lion in my area regularly has spam 2 for 3.

[@WannabRockStarZ]

The reason why there is a production date on the Danish spam is because it required by Danish law, just to let you know, by the way, I've never seen the clover brand anywhere in Denmark.

[@cosmotippy]

Good to know about the $1 brand meat in a can. Can get into the Danish product. Thanks.

[@danielg6542]

fuck off

[@TheBigWolle]

The Clover Valley stuff is actually Spam, Ive worked in the factory in Denmark where it is made and we made just the one recipe for the potted meat, but it was packaged in about 100 different containers, one of which was Spam brand Spam. The lack of salt you noticed is probably due to Eu regulations

[@wildbilltexas]

Great review! There's a well-known Spam clone called "Tulip" thats made in Denmark. Now I wonder if they made that Dollar General version?

[@TheWolfePit]

Hmmm interesting?!! Maybe I will find a can of the Tulip? Thanks!

[@antrazitaj5209]

I wondered the whole time what the name was and didn't have any Tulip to check. I really like their version

[@syxepop]

Most likely the Clover Leaf (the Danish pork-only luncheon meat) was either made by Tulip, which is the largest luncheon meat name brand over in Denmark and most of Europe, or by one of their competitors over there. The Bristol (the mixed-meat American brand that could've been made by (I do believe) "est. P-4247", which makes most of the American luncheon meats and vienna sausages I see on the supermarket, OTOH, has a different consistency and more color. Where I live the no-name American brands (incl. Walmart / Amigo's Great Value) would cost anywhere from $1.67 (smaller-scale brand on sale) to $2.29 (pork-only), the name brands starting at ~ $2.50 on sale to slightly > $3.00. The Danish-made brands would go at the higher range as do the American name-brands like Spam or Treet. In Puerto Rico supermarkets there are usually at least 10-15 brands of luncheon meats available, along with 5-8 brands of vienna sausages and a few brands of potted meat (we love that stuff, although we're not as obsessed as the Hawaiians with those...).

[@OneUponADime]

The dark one looks terrifying

[@darkthoughts1688]

I've found the Bristol brand to be mostly water and filler. When you fry it, the water just boils off, not frying properly. Actually, the taste isn't far from the cheap dollar-pack hot-dogs I use to eat way too many times back in college. How could you cook this stuff to make it taste palatable?

[@5roundsrapid263]

I used to work at Walmart and unloaded trucks sometimes. Their store brands came from the same plants as the name brands, in the same boxes, just with no logo.

[@Girruuth]

Just an FYI, but those two meat products were very likely actually Spam and Treet, just repacked or rebranded for sale overseas or just for a discounter here in the US. For example, many grocery stores, like Kroger or Safeway, have their own discounted "store brands". All these big chains do is commission some amount of another company's products, like frozen veggies or cocoa puffed cereal, repackage with their own brand and sell at a discount.

[@jared5021]

A couple weeks back you gave a PO box address for someone to send you something to review. There is a local chow main mix that I think you would get a kick out of if you would re-post your PO box. It's called Hoo Mee and as far as I have found, is only available in Southern Massachusetts.
