A brief history of Spam

A short but fun history of everyone's favorite canned meat, Spam.

My grandfather loved Spam. He got it in the war as a ration and would have it fried and topped with cheese as a sandwich. He called it "Spam and Cheese". Eating it reminds me of him. He passed away when I was just 7 years old from bone cancer.

If it isn’t for the salty level, I can eat this everyday.

6:13 Spam, spiced ham, popular in Saudi Arabia. Yeah right.

prob should credit steve1989mre in the description for the footage of his used

6:13 even in Dubai, pork/pig products are available only in one closed-off corner of only one supermarket chain, with a big sign that says "for non-Muslims only"... so showing Spam being popular in ultra-conservative places like KSA and Iran seems a bit ignorant, no?

Spam is just great, especially when fried with some rice, and some kimchi all wrapped in some iceberg lettuce

There is nothing better than a fried Spam sandwich 😋

Did Steve give you permission for his mre clips. Haha

1. It'd be nice to credit other content creators when you use their footage in your videos. @Steve1989MRE, for example.

2. 6:13 I really don't think pork-based Spam will be big sellers in Saudi Arabia and other Middle Eastern and North African countries. Turkey Spam, possibly- assuming it has halal certification.

3. No mention of the connection between spam, the meat, and spam, the unwanted content in your e-mail inbox.

Musubi is not pronounced, "ma-SOO-be" it's "MOO-SOO-BEE" (emphasis on all 3 syllables)

Jollibee’s spam sandwich. Or even better.. go to Hawaii and get one there. One of life’s indulgences - mouth is watering just thinking about it 🤤
