So my parents like to give me joke presents every year, and this time they "spammed" the tree with pic related.

The problem is that I've still got 7 cans of the stuff lying around, and no clue what to do with it. I've browsed Google for recipes, but pretty much everything I find is some disgusting concoction only popular in Hawaii.So I come now to you guys hoping that someone might know a recipe or two involving spam that doesn't leave me dehydrated or at risk for a heart attack.

Fry two slices so they are crispy on the outside but still flexible. These will be your 'bread'. Use them to make a sandwich with kraft cheese, bacon, another slice of spam(this time very crispy), and plenty of mayo.

My mom used to pan fry it, like you would fry ham. Some days I put it on a sandwich with fried eggs and mustard.

You can make fancy ramen, add an egg, etc. There's good recipes online to jump off from.

It's been only a month since the holidays.....those cans will be edible about 4 years from now. Just shelve them until you're in the mood again. It's good ice storm/hurricane/emergency power outage/in bed with the flu/drunk late night pantry food. Just calm down. You're right, it's not that healthy, so space it out. Wait until you get invited to a potluck and share the wealth.

Cubans make bocaditos at parties in Miami. It's basically a deviled ham, pimento, cream cheese, pickle kind of spread. You take a tray of King Hawaiian bread rolls, or those soft little slider rolls, or potato rolls, whatever you find at your grocery. Halve the whole slab of rolls, put the spread inside in a thin layer, Cut into bitesize portions with a breadknife, and voila, finger sandwiches. Delicious if chilled and made a couple hours ahead.

I wouldn't use Spam for much more than dips or spreads. It's such a high fat content. You can buy an entire ham roast on sale for like $8 several times a year. This stuff was only for value for island dwellers and emergencies, since it's invention.

I've tried pan frying a couple cans. Turned out ok, but I'm thinking of experimenting with spices or something. I've heard that oregano rubbed into the slabs before frying tastes good, same with thyme.

Croquettes,ham.
Panfry cracker crumbs coated croquettes, which are a mixture of crumbs and ham, formed into a little roll. You can fry them, and then freeze the whole batch to recrisp later by oven or panfrying.

the problem with storing it is that I'm in a shithole of a campus apartment with two vegetarians (who luckily don't get on my ass about meat). Our kitchen is tiny, so I'd like to go through them at a steady pace so I don't hog the cupboard.

In Hawaii we usually pan fry it, then hit it with soy sauce and sugar.

>inb4 extra sodium - we also eat it with two scoops of rice doused in soy sauce

[Anonymous No.5143713]

Take it out and lay it down and cut it that way. Also, use a cheese slicer, it'll get you even slices, because this shit is a bitch to get right. Then you can pan fry it or bake it. If you're like me, you like it a bit browned.

[Anonymous No.5143725]

Eat it right out the can, slightly chilled, in one sitting, with a tea spoon.

Drizzle each layer with some dark soy sauce for extra sodium goodness.

I love spam. One of my faves is:

>Cut spam into c. 1cm thick slices
>Carefully cut right though the slice halfway through it's thickness, but without cutting to the ends, so you've got a kind of envelope.
>Carefully insert a thinly sliced piece of your cheese of choice into said tasty little envelope
>Breadcrumb whole using flour, whisked egg and breadcrumbs
>either bake, fry or if really feeling fat, deepfry
