That is timeless poetry. :)<br /><br />DKDanielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02388302796031288076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37886248.post-89318504108183665992009-05-15T08:25:00.000-07:002009-05-15T08:25:00.000-07:00I've been to Hawaii a few times and noticed the sp...I've been to Hawaii a few times and noticed the spam thing.

Do they even sell it in most supermarkets? I imagine that it IS possible to do some good things with it, but I'm not sure that I ever really want to find out.Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17133232352924060797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37886248.post-5772269734344284962009-05-11T18:25:00.000-07:002009-05-11T18:25:00.000-07:00Did you know that the increasing popularity of Haw...Did you know that the increasing popularity of Hawaiian cuisine is one of the reasons that spam sales are trending up? The economy is, of course, the other contributing factor.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37886248.post-39388623243196601012009-05-11T18:01:00.000-07:002009-05-11T18:01:00.000-07:00Spam is by far the yukkiest of yuks in my book.

A long time ago my Mom made it when we needed to stretch a dollar but the resulting hue and cry caused her to drop that little item from all future menus. Hooray! But still I enjoyed reading about a real Spam festival.pixelgalnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37886248.post-73951941856514891202009-05-11T09:31:00.000-07:002009-05-11T09:31:00.000-07:00I remember my mother making us sliced spam fried i...I remember my mother making us sliced spam fried in butter & brown sugar for breakfast on occasion.

I could try musubi at any one of my local "Hawaiian" (*snicker*) takeout places, but am more tempted by an Australian friend's use of it, diced, in fried rice. Seems like it would be great.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12439733116558336290noreply@blogger.com
