I like the canned corned beef better, meaning I like it once in a great while. Before I eat it, I take it out of the can and bake the loaf on a sheet of foil to melt out the grease. Once that’s done you can make hash or eat it with scrambled eggs, but it ain’t gourmet fare for sure.
Pretty sure the stuff they sold when I was a kid was a lot better. I used to eat that cold. Now it all comes from South America and seems a lot mushier.

WHO lists processed meats as cacogenic as Plutonium. No Way for me or even my dog.
You should definitely keep listening to the WHO.
WHO,,, after the genocide those bastard help to perpetuate, they're lucky not to be hanging from the gallows. If the western world ever regains it sanity, they may well.

Used to keep corned beef in my truck, mostly because it wasn't unusual to get tied up on docks for hours. Often, after not eating since the previous day.
Spam fried with brown sugar and sliced potatoes is still in my top 5 breakfasts I've ever had. I was hiking in the Porcupines with a few other Manito-Wish campers in the mid '80's. Our counselor made it up on day 3 of a week long hike. Actual hunger makes every thing remotely qualified to be called food taste great.
I carry some in the boat, just in case, it's cooked.
I carry Original Vienna sausage cans for emergencies in my boat and truck in case I get stuck in the backcountry and miles from well traveled roads overnight.
If I have to overnight in the boonies miles from the boat ramp or in the bush I don't want to spend the night puking dinner up.
Another plus for dog lovers is that you can help out starving strays on many occasions with a couple of cans of Vienies.
I've seen dogs who wouldn't eat spam (or dead carp for that matter). They will however roll in the dead carp after a few days. They won't even roll in spam.
To me it's best sliced and browned in a skillet or over a fire in the grill Sandwich with extra sharp cheddar and mustard, or diced up in a pot of white beans with onion
Supposed to have been the military emergency ration or something like that
RHClark, I strongly recommend you believe and follow everything that WHO says.
The rest of us can get along with our lives not cowering in the corner. And we'll be around to write your obit, I bet.
Your obit will be "Says WHO?"
All that Spam making you testy? Gesh guys, I was trying to keep Ya'll from getting cancer. I didn't know Spam was among your core beliefs. How about I don't hope you die before me but wish us all a long healthy life instead.

Well, the starving strays i feed never seem to mind, but I agree, a few minutes sitting on a hot manifold improves the feast immensely.
PS. Always keep packs of crackers with cheese in the truck too.

I made Reuben’s with it once. All the traditional stuff - marbled rye, Swiss, thousand island, sauerkraut. Just subbed out SPAM for the corned beef because I had it and not the other. It was friggin awesome and I recommend highly.

Been keeping a couple of clif bars in the truck for uh-oh times. Haven't ever found much of anything durable enough to keep besides those and the peanut butter foil packs

There ain’t a damn thing in the world that doesn’t “cause cancer”.
If you’re eating enough spam to get cancer from it, I’d bet a dollar to a processed ham loaf you have a lot more to worry about.
Probably right at this point, since we have put poison on our crops that has drained into our water for generations. Lots we just can't avoid, but I do avoid what I can.

Nitrates and nitrites are added to keep processed meat fresher longer
WRONG, this is not why Nitrites are added to meat. The article doesn't even know what Nitrites are and what they are used for, sooooo.
OH and.
Vegetables particularly rich in nitrates include green leafy vegetables such as spinach and lettuce as well as fennel, rocket, radishes, Chinese cabbage, and parsley
Don't forget to remove these from your diet as well.
...and one last thing.
Background (Significance/History)
Sodium nitrite is similar in name and use to sodium nitrate. Both are preservatives used in processed meats, such as salami, hot dogs, and bacon.
Sodium nitrite has been synthesized by several chemical reactions that involve the reduction of sodium nitrate. Industrial production of sodium nitrite is primarily by the absorption of nitrogen oxides into aqueous sodium carbonate or sodium hydroxide.
Over the years, sodium nitrite has raised some concerns about its safety in foods, but it remains in use and there are indications that it may actually be healthy.
Sodium nitrite was developed during the 1960s. In 1977, the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) considered banning it but the USDA’s final ruling on the additive came out in 1984, allowing its use. Studies in the 1990s indicated some adverse effects of sodium nitrite, for instance the potential to cause childhood leukemia and brain cancers.
In the late 1990s, the National Toxicity Program (NTP) began a review of sodium nitrite and proposed listing sodium nitrite as a developmental and reproductive toxicant, but a report in 2000 by NTP proposed that sodium nitrite is not a toxic substance and removed it from the list of developmental and reproductive toxicants. It is now believed that it can help with organ transplants and leg vascular problems, while preventing heart attacks and sickle cell disease.

I hear ya. I’ve gone out of my way to eat better, cleaner food. Sure not going to quit the occasional spam sandwich, store bought bacon, or lettuce picked by some ‘Cans.
Hell, the water coming out of most folks taps is pretty suspect.
But still, folks still live longer every year. Except the last couple maybe.
SPAM is the national commercial meat of bush Alaska. I prefer the hickory smoke version and the bacon after that. The other flavors I've not really taken much of a liking to.
Grilled SPAM and cheese is THE schitt. I've diced it up and dumped it into a crock pot of navy beans, made omelets with it or just a plain sammich out of the can.
1 (12-ounce) can SPAM with Bacon, cubed 1 (16-ounce) loaf Hawaiian bread, cubed 8 eggs 1 cup half & half 1 cup coconut milk 1 cup crushed pineapple, well drained 1/2 cup sweetened flaked coconut
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Heat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. In large skillet over medium heat, cook SPAM® with Bacon 2 to 3 minutes or until lightly browned; set aside to cool.
3. Spread bread cubes in prepared pan, sprinkle SPAM® with Bacon over top.
4. In large bowl, beat eggs, half & half and coconut milk. Stir in crushed pineapple and half of the sweetened flaked coconut. Pour evenly over the SPAM® with Bacon. Press bread down slightly to absorb the egg mixture.

I'm making that! Looks delicious and I love spam. Also love vienna sausage. Thanks for the recipe.

In the late 70’s when living on a sailboat in St Thomas, I made lots of one dish meals from Spam or canned corned beef, eggs, onions, peppers and potatoes. No cancer yet so the WHO predictions aren’t for me.
I eat a can about once every six months or so. It IS awfully salty, and makes my BP race a bit.
However, a couple of times a year ain't gonna kill me, and it's tasty stuff. I usually put it on a biscuit with an egg and some cheese, and a little mustard. Two cans a year is about my limit, though. I buy the bacon-laced variety, usually. Good stuff.
Fact #1: Sodium nitrite reacts with the protein in meat to create nitrosamines, which can cause cancer.
Fact #2: I have worked as a contractor in the Hormel - Austin, MN facility that produces Spam and studied the process. Spam was originally made from shoulder cuts that were difficult to process or lower demand. The product was very high quality. Over time, with the huge demand, the product has only increased in quality as more whole cuts of meat have been added to the grind to increase the volume.
Fact #3: There is plenty of true demand for the bits and pieces of pork for the various sausages so that adding it to Spam would be stupid.
Subjective #1: I like Spam, I like sausage, I like hot dogs, I like lots of stuff that might not be the best for me. I'll take the risk, which is probably a lower risk than the Spit Factor at the fast food drive-thru.
I must admit that, while I like the concept, I have never been able to cultivate a taste for it. I still keep several cans, as they constitute animal protein and fat in a long storage form. When they expire, I feed them to my dogs. Only rarely, when I've surprised myself by being out of bacon, sausage, or corned beef hash, do I actually open a can and fry a slice or two of it to serve with my eggs.
I must admit that, while I like the concept, I have never been able to cultivate a taste for it.
Hawk, Under "Stuff you can't make up", I was going to suggest trying a different flavor and providing you a link. This is what my search found - douche flavor:
Slice it, fry it, melt American cheese on it and put it on white bread.
I love my grilled meat and cheese sandwiches. However, to me, this combination has always been better on non-toasted and non-grilled white bread. I'm a fan of wheat bread and it will work. However, once again, to me, the grill the spam and melt the cheese and use white bread is the way to do it.
I like it and eat it about once every three months or so... I prefer it with eggs, etc... I love making breakfast burritos with it, eggs, cheese and potatoes...
#1... why would I ever trust WHO...
#2... I am going to die at some point anyway, I might as well enjoy what i like food wise till then
I've had six cans in storage for twenty years...looking forward to that EMT so I can justify cracking them open. Hoping the whole can has turned to jelly.
