Before ‘SPAM’

[Tom Dunlap]

Even tough Horrell has been making canned Spam in Minnesota for decades I haven’t found many Minnesota ns who like it

Here’s my question

Before Monty Python co-opted Spam for their skit and that was co-opted to be what is something else when the Internet was hatched.

What was the name of all that before. spam was. Co-opted agzin

My Dad was a Letter Carrier. Third class mail was called ‘scultch’ but I’ve never heard any use outside the USPO

SPAM isn’t bad it’s just not good. I used to pack that on extended camping trips as a treat of “fresh” meat. Hawaiians seem to love it.

Not sure what you mean, spam has been around since the 30s. Don't you have the museum of spam over there to peruse too?

Backpacking in the Philippines, stopped at a ‘restaurant’ (far from electricity). Ordered pizza. The toppings were Spam and eggs.

They sell bacon flavored SPAM. Sister lived in Guam and said the Guamanians loved it.

There are a number of flavored SPAM's; None are particularly good.

However, Hormel makes a "Corned Beef" in the same shape & can style, which I like.

I met one year's Spam Queen from Minn, the outfit for fairs sounded rough in the heat with kids smacking it

I did t ask the question right

There is canned Spam and we have Internet clogging Python-esque spamm

What word was used to name this stuff before someone did a new mashup

‘Junk mail’. Comes to mind

Spam spam spam. I love spam.

And more so, I love Monty Python’s flying circus. So much so, my wife and I had a Monty python themed wedding. With a spam decorated cake!

Couldn’t get a good picture before it was mangled haha

Haven't touched that stuff since my early teens.

I dislike all forms of spam. Green eggs and spam I am.

But I don't like Spam. Haven't you got anything without spam?

summer of ‘68 Ann’s I’m on a wilderness canoe trip. One of the guys worked the grill at a diner and made good food over wood fires. He slow grilled the Spam and used the drippings with some pancake mix and spices to make the. Power for the next days paddling. No leftovers. Never have had Spam either
