spam: truth or myth? nklr
Posted: Tue Apr 18, 2000 3:11 pm
-I heard that Spam stands for "spiced ham".
-I recall that in Canada, there's a product called "Cam", which
presumably stands for "canned ham". I remember the slogan, "Kids &
Cam, you never see one without the other." Now isn't that cute...it
almost rivals that kid fishing and singing about his bologna.
-I heard that Hawaiians are the greatest consumers of Spam, so much
that it has an RDA value listed on the Nutrition Facts label. Kahiau
?
-I like it sliced & baked with pineapples and marichino (sp?) cherries.
