Spam is a delicacy... if you're a Filipino or Polynesian.

No, spam is shit. Only tastlets, ladyboys, and filthy peasants find it appetizing.

I heard that some Polynesian puerile eat it because it tastes close to human flesh, and eating people it's frowned on these days. Or was that tinned corned beef? I forget. Anyway, I don't like spam. It's minging and it reminds me of horrible fritters from the chippy or lousy school dinners.

Island types always stocked up on non-perishables for the offchance a hurricane wiped out the power grid for a couple of weeks. They also had to eventually eat the canned foods before expiration the rest of the year. Ham is really an American craft food, and it's pretty much the reason the chinese bought out Smithfield ham.
Spam is never going to be anything but congealed pureed ham product. It's not country ham, or a roasted fresh ham, not gonna come close. It's just going through a "retro" phase. It's never going to any damn good. It's a novelty that some people are just discovering it, when their grandparents stopped buying it long ago.
You know what IS delicious? Baking a ham and then doing fun things with your leftovers, like cuban croquetas with a golden browned cracker crust, and soft rich, and warm filling, oh so cozy. Cold ham salad, with your yummy pickle relish, and some nice dense tea sandwich breads, yum. Saltyass no texture Spam is not even coming close.

It's just an ingredient. Musubi is kinda dope, spam works best in something where it's more of an accent -- it is not something I like as a main. Not bad julienned in tacos or green beans but you really have to get it crispy otherwise the texture is kinda awful.

Spam, hot dog, vienna cocktail sausages and any other american pink """meat""" paste products are all really tasty if you slice them thin and fry them up in the pan. Breading and deep frying them would probably be delicious as well

Doesn't posting stale copypasta get old? I mean, do you giggle yourself to tears every time you do it? It seems like such a waste. Why not do something original, or have you no personality of your own?

I think it's because of the influx of Korean culture in the West. Spam is quite popular in Korean cooking afaik. I even saw fancy gift boxes of Spam when traveling there.
