Spam is cheap? Where I live (Wisconsin) there are plenty of fresh meats that are cheaper. I just assumed that''s the way it is everywhere, Maybe not?

Has there ever been a lunch meat that so grievously failed to capitalize on its zeitgeist? Unlimited free advertising through its conceptual linkage to the web, yet not one cable tv ad to prod the masses to the supermarket shelf?

The cost of vegetables are not on the rise. It is not expensive to be a vegetarian.

*************************Obviously, you don''t live where I do! The cost of vegetables has risen exorbitantly. Even potatoes are over $1 per pound.

During my student years I had no money and no where to go one Thanksgiving so I cooked a can of spam with a pineapple ring on top and studded with a few cloves. Tasted great.

Spam is good....it cleans out the pipes and slides out of the can easily. The perfect combo.

Spam and other canned meats would be great if they would just get rid of the nitrites in them
