Do you eat spam?

I was wondering how many people eat spam? I know some people find spam nasty, which I don't get, because spam is process meet that comes in a can, while deli meat is also process meat but it comes in a plastic wrap. I love spam, but I try to limit myself since it's not the healthiest of food. I could eat my spam with white rice, fried rice, sandwich, ramen, i could just go on and on with the ways I eat my spam.

A few years back I remember a family friend went to Hawaii for honeymoon, when they came back as souvenir they brought back a can of spicy spam. It was then that I learn how popular it was in Hawaii. Over the years I have had people that visited Hawaii tell me how almost every fast food restaurant serve spam, and they have a whole aisle in markets dedicated to different type of spam you could find, and some that's only sold in hawaii.

Once every few years I eat it for a bit of nostalgia. I have made general Tso's spam which isn't bad with rice.

I don't know if it's an East Coast thing, but SPAM-in-a-can sounds completely and utterly gross. People tried to dare me to eat on a camping trip once, but just the sight of that processed meat completely grossed me out. I heard the same thing that Anna said about SPAM being big in Hawaii while watching one of the travel shows on the Travel Channel and learned that it was introduced during World War II when the government issued SPAM as part of the food field kit to soldiers stationed there and became a instant hit with the locals who still love it to this day.

They make turkey Spam...never even thought about trying it until one day in the supermarket there was this incredibly fit human being putting cans of turkey Spam into his cart..so I asked...you eat this..he said it was really good, low sodium..so I tried it..it was good but don't eat it anymore, even though there is a can of it in my cabinet.
