Do you buy/eat Spam?

We haven't eaten Spam for years, but it was a midweek staple when the children were younger, at home, and could eat the hind legs off a donkey.

No, can't stand the lumps of fat in it. Not keen on corned beef for the same reason, though can tolerate that about once a year.

Does anyone eat it now, I have never seen it in the shops?

Not now. Used to cos the kids liked spam fritters as Prentice describes.

I don’t eat meat either but don’t think I ve eaten it since childhood even when I did eat meat

My husband uses it for fishing the fish are supposed to love it.
I remember it from school days yuk but each to their own wouldn't do for us all to be the same.

Not for years, but my son knows how much I love military humour so he sent me this.

I do confess, I love it. Battered and fried and served with fresh chopped tomatoes and peppers.

no I haven't even ever tried it

My husband likes it. It’s not my thing though, too much fat.

Not regularly but it is certainly on my enjoy list.

I don’t because I don’t eat meat, but wondered if it is a popular food item?
