A Spam blocker...

Hi, ya'll,

Just a quick food-spotting tale:

My mom, my little sister and I drove to Alpharetta, Georgia, to see family this weekend. On our way down, we stopped at a Chevron in Georgia that, according to the gas station attendant, was "in between Ringold and East Ridge" (don't ask me how we were in between two cities but not actually in a city; 'twas the Twighlight Zone, methinks). My mom and I went in to... ahem, check out the water closet. While I was in the store, this caught my eye:

It's a snack pack ($1.97) that contains some sort of Spam salad, crackers and a handy spreading device. This might be old news to you, but I was intrigued. I toyed with the idea of buying it just to have it on my desk. A conversation piece, if you will.

I've never eaten Spam, but I must admit I have what could be considered an unhealthy fascination with people who do. Apparently, Spam is "crazy tasty" so I might be missing out. I think I'll take that chance...

I try not to be a food snob, but I can't be sold on canned luncheon meat, no matter how yummy or portable Hormel says it is. Besides, I just don't like the idea of any snack of mine hanging out less than a foot away from a bottle of Valvoline.

So tell us if you're a Spammer or a Spam blocker? And Spammers, tell us your favorite way to (gulp) eat it...

Best dishes,

Nicci
