I’m still not sure why there is vegetarian Spam, but…
Though we’ve just met I’m already ready to un-meet UnMeat.
Next time grab a photo of the back with the ingredients. That’s the most important photo to capture

fucksknows how to vegetarian
Apparently this is a soy and wheat gluten loaf and is made in the Phillipines.
Sounds delicious.
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. 😂
Unless you’ve Celiac disease.
Sarcasm.
I know. 😁
It could be better, from my experience.
It does. Honestly SPAM is a good choice for unmeatification.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Tofu be better
Right?
I had my mum try some fried tofu recently and she said, it tastes like spam. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yeah, it does. But the texture is better.
spam, spam, spam, eggs, spam, spam, unspam, and spam
I don’t like spam
I’m still not sure why there is vegetarian Spam
For the same and only reason that there is regular spam, surely? For musubi.
Musubi or fried with scrambled eggs and mayploy. Only way to eat spam.
Why is there regular Spam?
For spam musubi?
I blame the Danes
SPAM is great. I will hear no slander.
/signed.
Does Spam need meat to be great? Feels like an easy swap to me!
Totally agree. I love SPAM but I’ll bet a non-meat version is totally doable.
That’s a good question.
I went on a date like that.
I’ve seen one that comes in a bag, pre-sliced and frozen. Feels like over fancifying something that’s supposed to mimic something cheap
I feel this way about packaged sliced cheese
With their fancy plastic bags?
I can imagine this tasting like actual spam since I find the vegan hot dogs and vegan Bologna actually taste just like the meat ones. It gets harder to replicate the meat taste as you get into bed m ground beef and steak substitutes
I found plant burger patties that were damn near meat flavor wise, but they were hard for me to get cooked right. They were a little mushy.
Impossible whoppers are pretty good. Impossible burgers from the store are too salty for me and leave a weird taste. I like the vegan chicken burgers though
Agreed. In my experience, the more processed the original product is, the easier it is to replicate.
