hi, dennis:
    my father used to just fry up the spam in a skillet and then add doctored
up baked beans.  the baked beans have brown sugar (or molasses, or maple syrup)
mustard, ketchup, onions and bits of cooked bacon.  he'd let the beans simmer
over the spam for about a half an hour before we sat down to eat.  he'd serve
it with just bread and butter or some type of roll and a salad.
   it's very basic, filling and CHEAP!!!!!!  i fix it all the time just for my-
self as my kids think it's "disgusting"...  i figure it leaves more for me.  it
also makes for a great midnight snack - cold.
                                    enjoy,    shannon

HI,

MY MOM FED US A LOT OF SPAM WHEN WE WERE KIDS:

BREADED FRIED SPAM

SLICE SPAM INTO 1/4 INCH SLICES
COAT BOTH SIDES IN BEATEN EGG
COAT BOTH SIDES IN BREAD CRUMBS OR MASHED SODA CRACKERS
 (I USUALLY ADD SOME SPICES TO THE BREADING LIKE GARLIC POWDER, ITALIAN
  SEASONING, PEPPER, ETC.--YOU DON'T NEED SALT, THE SPAM HAS ENOUGH IN IT)

*IF YOU LIKE A HEAVIER BREADING, REPEAT THE EGG AND BREAD CRUMB STEPS

FRY THE BREADED SLICES IN A SMALL AMOUNT OF OIL--I USE OLIVE OIL.


IT MAKES AN EASY, CHEAP MEAL WHEN SERVED WITH PACKAGED MACARONI &
CHEESE AND A SALAD.

*******************************************************************

I HAVE ALSO HAD SPAM SLICED INTO THIN SLIVERS IN A CHEF'S SALAD, AND
MY MOM USED TO GIVE US COLD SPAM SANDWICHES FOR LUNCH--A COUPLE SLICES
OF SPAM ON BREAD WITH LETTUCE AND MUSTARD.

HAVE FUN!

KIM

On the third day, or more, of backpacking, it tastes real good sliced
and pan fried.

I also recognized it as an ingredient in a good whole-meal soup I ate on the
north side of Kuaui.  Other ingredients were chicken stock, thick spaghetti
noodles, sliced green onions, and minced carrot.  The spam was in 2"-long
thin slivers.  You could probably recreate this by starting with a package
of chinese noodles that come with a seasoning packet.
