Cooked in a wide variety of ways he said if you wanted meat it was usually SPAM or SPAM.

By the end of the war the island was awash with it, along with powdered eggs and milk. All of which were delivered in great quantities by convoy because they shipped and stored well and, being in tins, held up even if a cargo hold was flooded. Liberty ship could still deliver much of their cargo after limping into port decks awash. Even sunk in port of near to shore the cargo was often salvaged.

Beef, on the other hand, was a rare treat.

I got sick as a dog. For many years I could not contemplate eating Spam. I’m now in my 70s and will occasionally buy a small can of Spam. I fry the slices. the first one or two taste not too bad, but then I don’ t want anymore. Here in Austin, they have Spamarama where Spam is eaten, crafted into sculptures, thrown at people, etc. I’ve never been there.

But I am hungry now . . .
