STRANGE QUESTION? CANNED SPAM

[midlf]

The FIL hates Spam because other than combat rations it was about the only thing they had to eat, for weeks on end. Usually cold, well as cold as it gets on Guadalcanal. It reminds him of a time he would prefer to not remember. He has never talked about it with his family (all girls). He and I were on a motorcycle camping trip and he did talk about it. I had read a lot about the campaign and considered it to be ****. My understanding was way short of reality. It was a real **** for a 17 year old Marine (any Marine) and I still doubt that I understand completely.

I like it, but when my father was still living he would not touch Spam. He was in the Pacific campaign of WW2. His transport plane was shot down and they were in the jungle for over 20 days with nothing but Spam and water to sustain them. He was in the signal corps and had a rifle in one hand and a roll of communication wire in the other. He was up a pole stringing wire when a Zero ran a strafing run on him. He pulled out his climbing spikes and free fell to the ground but on the way down he hit a steel spike step and ripped his throat open from the center to his ear. They stiched him up and sent back to the front. He was a tough feller but he sure hated Spam.

Baked with pineapple is one of the recipes I remember from way before I ever heard of a microwave oven, much less owned one. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Fried SPAM on toast. Good stuff. Don't like it cold.
