Miracle in a Can...

To what am I referring? Do you remember long ago in a land far, far away, when some excited people began an amazing adventure? Their journey took them to farms and rivers, fields and Austin, MN? Yes. I'm referring to our visit to the Spam Museum. There we learned all about Hormel Foods, the many varieties of Spam and Spam's contribution to the war effort. "Miracle in a Can" was their war time slogan.

Spam Selection

In that post so long ago, I promised that we would one day have a Spam tasting. That day came as we sat by a river in British Columbia. We all pitched in side dishes and Craig got out the grill. We felt grilling would release the special flavor of the Spam. 

Looks Yummy?

We chose 5 flavors to taste and Ms. Paula Moore prepared them for cooking. She may not eat a lot of Spam, but she is a dauntless cook, as we've learned on this trip. We had Black Pepper, Chorizo, Bacon, Teriyaki and Portuguese Sausage Spam.

Craig threw them on the grill and the smell of canned meat was everywhere.

Thankfully, no fighting as there was enough for everyone to have a slice of each type. We gorged ourselves on Spam and then finished off with a yummy banana pie made by Joan.

One Happy and Satisfied Group!

No Spam tasting would be complete without a survey of everyone's favorite. Drumroll please.... There was 1 vote for Black Pepper Spam, 2 votes for Bacon Spam and the runaway favorite was Chorizo Spam, with 6 votes. We say "Go for it!"

So grab yourself a "Miracle in a Can".
