I always remember having spam fritters at school.

 

[grovesy]

I used like spam fritters at school, but then again I am not or have ever been a fussy eater.

 

[Stitch147]

I used to enjoy them too, and I'm like you grovesy, not a fussy eater at all.

 

[Lindarose]

I think spam can be used as fishing bait!

 

[Robin]

You weren't allowed to be a fussy eater in those days, the rule was, eat everything on your plate unless you'd got a note from your Mum, and no way was my mother ever going to write a note for anything, as an ex teacher she sang from the same hymn sheet as school. I just remember having to steel myself to wade through the grease. I think at home, we didn't get served a lot of fat ( I remember my mother scraping the butter on to the bread with the edge of the knife...and scraping any off again if she thought she'd overdone it, and a '2 biscuit maximum' rule) so my stomach rebelled at a sudden ingestion of fat. I could eat one now, though.

AAArgh! Just had a flashback to school lunch spam fritters! Now, I like spam on its own, but enclose it in a batter which seals all the cheap spam fat in, so it's swimming in grease when you cut into it, then deep fry it in more cheap fat? 😱

Spam fritters were a favourite of mine at school! 🙂

 

[Ljc]

I used to love spam fritters, haven't had any for years though. My schools never served up spam for dinner.

One of my Dads favorite memories was when (before they were married) Mum invited Dad home for a meal with my Grandparents.... They were mortified as they were having Spam Fritter that night & she had given them no notice. My Dad enjoyed it as it was a regular, no frills, family meal, something which had been in short supply as he had grown up as an orphan since his parents were killed in the war.

Day 22 - Beondegi, Korea (pretty disgusting - be warned! 😱)

Read more: Yuck!

Mmm, lovely, lovely silkworm. Simply boiled or steamed and lightly seasoned, this is popular snack all over Korea and usually sold from street vendors. Apparently they taste like wood, if you’ve ever tried wood...😱

 

[Stitch147]

I'll skip that one thanks. Pass the Spam fritters.

Not even a little tempted? 🙂 😱

Well, folk are quite happy to wear silk scarves and ties from the silk that comes out of the arse end of those creatures, so surely it's not such a great leap to eat them. I would actually give them a go.🙂

Would one's poo be silky too?🙄

On second thoughts

Day 23 - Starfish, China 😱

Read more: Yuck!

Served dry and covered in hard and spiny armour, this isn’t a snack you want to bite into. According to online accounts, you want to break off a leg and peel open the skin to get at the green coloured meat inside. Hopefully it won’t regenerate in your stomach…😱

 

[Stitch147]

Sounds gross, but im kind of intrigued by the green coloured meat!

 

[Ljc]

I would give it a try
