What is SPAM for exactly?

12 years ago

Spun articles are used for link juice. Some spammers are to stupid to realize that their crap doesn't even contain a link. Bots are usually used for forum and blog spamming.

You'd even see recipes of SPAM in your Gmail accounts intermitently. :p

Mostpeople spam because they want to make a quick buck. Nobody spams you to inform you about anything, even if at first glance it might seem that way. The end result is always to make some dinero.

Spam is pre-cooked pig byproducts smashed and held together by a gelatinous glaze that makes it look edible. During rougher times, mom would sneak it into your meal without even asking you if you wanted it. When you happened upon it in some mashed potatoes you'd be like "What the heck is this?" Once in a great while it was good. But most of the time it should have been outlawed.

I think you are being overly generous in its description.

But I am even MORE disappointed with Wikipedia. They don't even describe what the "by-products are.

It is so disgusting, it would not even qualify for military rations.

Actually , if you pre-formed Dog and Cat food to the shape of spam, and put them next to each other, animal or human would choose the Dog and Cat food the majority of the time.

I think they put more care and chef skills in animal food than spam.

Hmmm, let's see, by-products, you mean like veins, skin sores, tumors, eye lids, anuses, boils, skin ruptures, ground up toe nails, pancreas and kidneys, eye-balls, hair and snot..., I'm sure I'm leaving some stuff out.

Hmm Hmmm good. Make's your mouth drool? Saliva seeping out the side of your mouth?

Such a salty, over-processed wonder of the world. How far are we willing to stretch the definition of the word "food"?

Spam is close to Soylent Green, some draconian future science tech society type food.

But I am saying Hmmm Hmmm good like Andy Griffith, with that and some Ritz crackers has all the USDA vitamins and minerals so you can grow to be the biggest oaf you can be.

Spam and developing brain cells, ooohhhh yeah.

Methinks "Andy" forgot the SPAM with his crackers:

The really STUPID STUPID STUPID email that looks like it was written by a squirrel trying to piece together sentences by picking random clauses and words to try to make sentences is often created by idiots following a method to try to destroy the ability of spam filters to detect such garbage. My apologies to squirrels, BTW!

Hmm...all these definitions of spam, and all this time I thought it was pork shoulder and ham.

Actually Hormel has a quite an elaborate site for Spam. It's quite popular. Spam | 75 years

According to their website, the ingredients are: pork shoulder, ham, water, salt, potato starch, sugar, and sodium nitrite. I don't have a can on hand to see if that matches the label. All I know is it's pretty tasty fried!

Thanks

If you consider that gelatinous , decomposed carcass tasty, I would not want to be around you in a famine.

Supposedly, almost everything taste like chicken, so cannibalism is a wink away from spam.

If tuna is chicken of the sea, then spam is chicken of the zombies.

Have you seen documentaries of how sausage, wieners and baloney is made?

They don't have to list everything.

For instance, the FDA allows so many rat hairs/droppings per pound of meat or something to be considered safe and acceptable, just for starters.

Think they'll list that on the can?

People can do what they want, but let's not be too much in denial of certain realities is all I'm sayin.

Sorry to piss on your spam dude, though it might improve the flavor and mineral content by accident.

Just hope the next month's $5 Subway special ain't spam, zombie food.

  Nope, but I'd bet a lot of stuff would be repulsive if we knew what all it went through to get to us. Ever heard about migrant workers urinating on crates of fruits and vegetables?

  It's not just meat, the same allowances apply to peanut butter, breakfast cereal, and any food you buy. Unless you grow your own food you're already eating that kind of stuff whether you eat spam or not.
  
  Think they'll list that on the can?
  
  Nope, don't list it in flour, sugar, or any other product you buy either. Sorry 13th, but singling out Spam for that is disingenuous.

13th - I know, that gelatinous goo is not very appetizing. That's why I haven't had it since I was a kid. Of course, that part was always washed off, but I don't care to mess with it. When mom made it I didn't have to see it, and it did taste good then.

Kid's will play all day in the dirt and put it in their mouth but you can't get them to eat broccoli, especially when broccoli comes from dirt, go figure, dumb kids.

You probably know this, but there are adults who intentionally eat dirt. It's called pica or geophagy.

Yep, too funny.

Let's see, let's go by pure linear logic....., if we eat herbs, fruits and vegetables that have the nutrition we need, and these same botanicals get their minerals from the dirt, well, duh and voila, let's cut out the middle man and get the minerals directly from the source, we don't need no stinkin plants.

What they and others don't realize is that THAT is one of the things plants do: take oxide's and turn them into digestible substances that grow flesh. You can go to any iron ore deposit and grind it up to molecular size particles and ingest them, your body cannot and will use it.

Dirt, real food man.

Can't buy it.

Any idea from those in the know? I'm curious

watch the dark knight rises freeonline .Cue Joseph Gordon-Levitt, the baby-faced star of His Dark Knight Rises role as police officer John Blake can be Robin's daytime identity -- a minimum of, that is what Mark Hughes' Forbes piece claims. nonetheless Hughes' contentions are on but solid ground. Among alternative things, he believes the bat-shaped chalk symbols shown within the featurette are drawn by Gordon-Levitt's character; and, owing to their imprecise resemblance to the Nightwing emblem (another of Robin's identities) and therefore the indisputable fact that, when flipped the wrong way up, the chalk appearance slightly sort of a robin, John Blake so should be Robin. Mind. Blown.

If you're actually from Kenya, then you probably have a rich Uncle that is the king of the village you live in that is now dying from eating a can of Spam. I suggest that you email everyone you know in the United States and ask for assistance. (Of course you'll pay them all back with your Uncle's riches of course)
