Spam Curry recipe

Has Gransnet checked to make sure this isn't

Thanks for that crazyH ??️?
No not vegan. Love dairy too much.
Looking for and experimenting with different spices will keep me busy this week.

You can use mixed frozen veg, if you don't mind frozen. If not, potatos and peas/green beans ...aubergine. You can use hard boiled eggs (Ofcourse, not if you're a vegan )

I'll try the veggie version but first have to buy some of the spices.
What veggies will work best with it? ?

Quick,Curry
2 tbs coriander powder
3/4 tbsp Cummin powder
1 tsp (teaspoon) chilli powder
1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp Garam masala (recipe below)
1 tbsp ginger/garlic paste
2 tbsp chopped tomatos
Heat oil, add chopped onions, fried till transparent, then g/g paste, chopped tomatos, fry for about 2 mins on LOW HEAT, then all above ground spices with 1/4 cup hot water and fry for another minute or two. Add your meat or if you're a vegetarian, add vegetables. Coat well with the 'masala' in the pan and stir well for another couple of minutes. Add 2 cups hot water, cover and cook on low heat till done.
Enjoy!!!

Not my type of food but all power to his elbow as he certainly looks after himself properly and appears to like cooking.

No, maybe Mick is trying out various dishes to use up tins of food he's bought during lockdown.

WHY would anyone want to eat that? There isn't a shortage of food anywhere, is there?

Wish I could remember the number of the house. There was some open ground to the left of it (as you faced it) but further up the road.
Sue Smith and Margaret Corlett were my housemates.

My hometown.

Yes, I do indeed. Garston, Liverpool.

GabriellaG54 I concur re Monty Python's Spam song.
As an aside, do you refer to Garston, the place very near to where the BEATLES emerged? I'm intrigued.

Yuk!

'Spam spam spam', as Eric Idle would say.

Nope, just looked but a shop us still in same place. We lived in 3 storey red brick with an odd 3 digit number and front door to the left of the window and mosaic tiled path. ?

In my meat eating days when I was a student nurse sharing a house with 2 other nurses, we used to often buy Spam , cut thickly from the round (4) on a machine.
We'd fry it and have in barm-cakes with brown sauce or ketchup. It was nice to have a choice.
I wonder if the shop on Whitehedge Road, Garston, is still there.
We lived at (I think) number 68.
Police used to call there a lot...to play cards. ☺️??

Oh yuck, chick pea and spinach curry for me!

Oh no...nonononono...?

Hmm, sorry Mick. I prefer Missfoodloves recipe.

??? Oh Missfoodlove, that is so entertaining!

As a real food lover and thoughI say it myself a pretty good home cook, I would like to offer an alternative recipe.

Open tin of spam taking care not to cut your fingers.
Place the spam in the centre of piece of newspaper ( preferably tabloid, I find the Daily Mail best for this recipe)
Now top the whole spam with as many used tea bags as possible, now carefully wrap and place the package on a second sheet of newspaper.
To this add as many vegetable peelings as you can find and if you are unfortunate enough to have any add some tripe at this stage.
Wrap really well and immediately place in. bin closing the lid as quickly and firmly as possible.
This recipe also works well with chopped pork and anything Mattesons make and create into a sausage shape.

Spam was one of my dearly departed husbands favourites, spam sandwiches, spam egg and chips spam mash and peas. He was brought up in a household of 4 brothers they were quite poor so I assume it was cheap and cheerful for his Mum. Mind you he didn’t ‘do’ curry so even he would of given this one a miss.
Oh! and it had to be Spam from a tin ‘round’ Spam wouldn’t do.
YUK!!! I haven’t bought any since he sadly died ?

Had a sneaky liking for spam fritters....at school but when our local chippy did them as a one off they were of course not as good as nostalgia thought.

Me too Lucca.I liked spam as a child but only when it wasn't actually refered to as spam ?. As an adult, when I hear it mentioned I think yuk! Sorry Mick I think I'll leave that one out.
