Product Description

If all the cans of SPAM(r)...ever eaten were placed end to end, they would circle the globe ten times. Residents of Hawaii eat an average of 4 cans of SPAM(r) per person each year--more than any other place on earth! It's retro, it's fun, and it's about lunchmeat! Just think of how many friends you could give this to! And be sure to keep a copy for yourself, because you don't want to miss out on the fun, the lively anecdotes, and the merry memories of SPAM(r) dinners. From the giant SPAM(r) can on a building to the fastest SPAM(r) can on earth (it's a car) to the hilarious SPAM(r) song intoned by the Monty Python troupe, this is an irresistible treat. Packed with drawings and photos from the nostalgic to the wacky, and with 20 recipes that will redefine your idea of the SPAM(r) meal, this scrapbook of SPAM(r) treasures is one delicious treat! "Without SPAM(r), we wouldn't have been able to feed our army."--Nikita Khrushchev.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly
Dating from the 1930s, featured in the Smithsonian, rocketing to unimagined heights of success and staying there for 60 years who would have guessed that "shoulder meat left over from the pork industry," blended with ham and canned as a luncheon meat would enjoy such glory? In SPAM: The Cookbook, Marguerite Patten (Marguerite Patten's Post-War Kitchen) offers 20 recipes (Thai SPAM Cakes; SPAM steaks in Port Wine); a concise history of SPAM (the visionary Jay C. Hormel beat the odds when he sold his brainchild to his father and then the world; by 1944, 90% of Hormel canned foods "were exported to various theaters of war"); quotes and excerpts from Nikita Kruschev, Monty Python and fan clubs; and much more world-wide SPAMiana. Pop-culture lovers will drool. Photos.

history5
I had no idea, that SPAM had been around for a long time. This book tells about the history of Spam, going back into the 1930's. If our Economy stays in the shape it is at the present, We all may have to buy some SPAM. Also included is some great recipes.

This was a disappointment. Guess I was expecting more of a cookbook and less of a history of Spam.
