Another reason for the popularity is the shear amount left behind after the war. It was free, filled the stomach, and if you think about it, exotic. When I was in Ireland, people were pounding down Budweiser, and Coors, and paying extra for it because it was an import. People consume odd stuff if it is in limited amounts, or not from the area. Spam is not bad anyway, it is just pork shoulder and ham. Unlike the Hotdogs or lunch meat which are allowed to contain ANY part of a cow, pig or chicken, and only has to list it as Beef, Pork, or Chicken. I love when I am enjoying some Spam, and my Spamophobic friends come up eating a hotdog and say "god, do you know what's in that stuff?" and I say "yeah, pork shoulder and ham. Do you know what's in that?" |
