I saw a segment about it on CBS This Morning, I think. They're nuts about it and have all these fancy recipes. It's a holdover from WWII, when there was a lot of it around. They regard Spam like Southerners do country ham.
For my part, when I was about 12, I went to an amusement park and rode the Tilt-a-Whirl right after eating a big Spam salad sandwich. Bad move; never got over it. Similar to what happened to me with my first dose of Scotch.
I like it because Annie Wilkes put it in her meatloaf.
