I'm very happy to say my mom didn't like it, hence it was only in other people's houses we had to suffer it occasionally.
So my favourite way of presenting it is still on a shelf in a supermarket !

I've always liked it grilled and then put in a sandwich with lashings of brown sauce - often had that as a child 🙂
I only discovered Spam when I left home for college. I then found a cafe in the town serving spam fritter and chips, and I ended up sneaking off there to eat them when no one was looking. Not sure if I was awfully well controlled blood sugar wise then.......

Ah well - all that fat and the remains of some protein along with the spuds and flour in the batter - at least the carbs would have hit you a bit slower. LOL Shame you're T1 though …. !

Ever looked at the ingredients of Spam? Only 6 - pork, ham, potato starch as binder, salt, water and sodium nitrite as a preservative. It’s mainly protein - nothing wrong with it. Bit processed, OK. You can tell it’s natural because of the gelatine in the tin, like you find in a pork pie. It’s not added.
So there you are - health food.
It must be healthy - spam fried slices aren’t a normal part of a full Scottish breakfast. I like em, with brown sauce just like Northie, specially in an oven bottom muffin and 8 units of insulin. 🙂

Day 17, from 2014 when the theme was healthy foods (not!) - a Gregg's steak bake 😱 🙂

We were out a couple of weeks ago and went in Gregg's café where I had a sudden desire for one of their hot sausage rolls. It was 'orrible - not even flaky pastry, let alone any taste in the sausage.

Well, if you're daft enough to order anything but a steak bake from a Gregg's then it's hard to feel any sympathy for you Jenny 😱 😉

Me eat a steak bake? Far too much. The sausage rolls are too big anyway - but used to be so more-ish. Fat virtually dripping out of the flaky pastry and ditto the sausage. Now the pastry has no 'layers' and there was a completely empty space all round the dried up circular length of what they claimed was sausage - like they'd used a length of that horrid skinless sausage.
