I'm reading this thread with total fascination yet know that there is noooooo way I plan to ever allow the following food stuff to touch my mouth again:

Spam
Vienna sausages
potted meat in a can (I'm fine with cretons though)
canned salmon
Hormel's corned beef hash
Manwich or it's partner in crime, Sloppy Joes
Any kind of canned spaghetti product.

I still loveeee sardines, canned or fresh. And and canned smoked mussels. The occasional grape jelly (no not Welch's cuz the Flintstones glass boosted the price too much but goodness how I envied childhood friends who had an entire collection of the glasses!)and American cheese sandwich. NOTHING can stain the cheese purple like grape jelly:D.

Good grief what do you eat?? At least you didn't put grits, fried okra, or biscuits and gravy on the list!

Oh don't be silly.......:D.
'Course the biscuits should have red eye gravy on 'em and a side of buttered grits but noooooooo chicken fried steak from IHOP. Gotta know up close and personal who is making that dish....

Spam hash is easy, quick and good if you like spam. I cut spam into 1/4" squares, a potato of about the same volume that same way, and an onion equal to about half of either of the other two and fry it all. Top it with and egg and you're good to go.

A couple of music ties to Spam:

Back in the 1960's, just after the Beatles from England had invaded the U.S., a reporter asked a person from England why they sent the Beatles to America. His response: it was payback for all that Spam that America had sent over during WW II.

And here's Weird Al Yankovic singing his parody version of The REM song Stand as Spam:

Mmmm pickled herring for breakfast ja Ole I tink dats da best

Grand Ma's Mother was from the Sweedish colony in Gruetli Loger, Tn or probably from even before. Sardines and saltine crackers was a treat to here. I got to kinda liking them myself.
You cannot find the same Sardines as she use to buy and we bought for her later on.
I like them with the oil drained off good with onions and tomatoes on a samich. Add peach or especially pear preserves or cinnamon pear preserves and cheese and tomato and leaf lettuce, or dandelion or any of the wild greens and you are in for a treat. the pears in the prserves retain a certain texture and the taste accents everything. I've thought of putting some on grilled meats.
First we have to make it. No one seems to sell it.

Put some onions, cheese, peach or pear preserves on it and tomato and you got yourself a samich.
