I’m still not sure why there is vegetarian Spam, but…
Apparently this is a soy and wheat gluten loaf and is made in the Phillipines.
Sounds delicious.
Maybe! Idk, I used to like mock duck. Soy based lunch meat is pretty good too. Alas, I’ll never be able to try this company’s stuff as it all has wheat in it.
It does. Honestly SPAM is a good choice for unmeatification.
Sounds like its essentially seitan, and frankly you can do amazing things with wheat gluten. My personal fav is the hilariously named WTF method (wash that flour).
For spam I imagine they just salt the hell out of it. 😂
It could be better, from my experience.
Unless you’ve Celiac disease.
Sarcasm.
I know. 😁
Probably Hawaiian/Filipino diaspora. Those guys love spam, to the extent of innovating fusion dishes centered around it.
From Hawaii. This isn’t Spam, this is luncheon meat. Or veggie luncheon meat. Sorry to be so snobby about canned meat products, but you can take my Spam from my cold, dead hands. I’ll give you all my luncheon meat.
I have a Chamorro coworker who had a whole rant on how Hawaiian pizza should have spam instead of ham and how awesome spam is. I think it’s safe to add the people of Guam to your list.
I mean now that I’m thinking of it, that’d be absolutely right, only way to make it more Hawaiian would be to find a way to get some tarro on it too.
My guess is the only reason ham was used is because it was made up before spam caught on.
Also the guy who did it was Canadian, so non zero chance he was just pulling the recipe out of his own ass.
What it a “wanted mail”?
I doubt the original is legally meat either.
Maybe I’m crazy, but that actually sounds kinda dope. Spam is underrated, IMO.
Spam is literally like one of the most delicious things on the planet. I have no clue how anyone sane can dislike it…i bet the people saying it’s gross have never even had it and just assume it’s gross because it comes in a can.
You sure you don’t just really like salt?
Though we’ve just met I’m already ready to un-meet UnMeat.
For that price I’d happily try it.
However good or bad it is. It can’t be worse than luncheon meat. Treet meat and it’s offbrand variants.
The price of spam is just criminal nowadays. Costs more than corned beef.
Ooh I wanna try this. I used to eat a lot of spam, but then I moved and it wasn’t available anymore.
Whilst both forms of processed meat, luncheon meat and spam are not the same things.
I’m still not sure why there is vegetarian Spam, but…
Because there are Hawaiians who don’t eat meat.
There’s a vegan sushi/ramen place near me that makes something between musubi and onigiri with vegan spam and they’re crazy good. So that’s one use for it.
Vegan spam?
There is a Monty Python gag somewhere hidden in front of our eyes.
Cue Terry Gilliam and Graham Chapman in drag “talking to each other on the phone”
Spaaaam, you say?
No, no, my dear! This isn’t Spam, it’s Vegan Spam!
Vegan Spam? Whatever for?
Well, the doctor said we have to cut back on our meat intake, but you know how stubborn Martin can be.
Well does it taste good?
Umm, well, it doesn’t taste like spam, more like an intelligent flan
Cue the giant killer flans attacking both of them
Spam, spam, spam, baked beans, esh and spam. That’s not got much spam in it.
Tbh I’ve tried it and its not great. It’s made of Glutens and has a sort of nutty texture.
This stuff is great. Not a vegetarian but I eat plenty of protein alternatives because of family. Un-Meat Plant Based Luncheon Meat Style (you have to say the whole thing) is actually preferable to spam.
