Bites, Spam Snacks and Jennie-O Turkey Breast Sticks. Executives of the Austin, Minn.-based company discussed the three new product platforms during a presentation with investors on June 11 in Minneapolis. “Our founder, George Hormel, said it best: ‘Innovate, don’t imitate,’” said Thomas Day, group vice president of Hormel’s Refrigerated Foods unit. “We continue to live up to that mission every day by providing new products to meet the demands of an ever-changing consumer base.” [/quote] [quote]A similar product comes from Hormel’s iconic Spam brand. Made using proprietary technology, Spam Snacks are [b]dried meat bites in classic, teriyaki and bacon[/b] varieties with 8 to 10 grams of protein per serving. “These fun-to-eat Spam brand product snacks are a perfect complement to the fast-growing dried meat snacking category,” Splinter said. “Spam Snacks will be available in limited geographies this summer as we are now in the process of introducing this to the marketplace.”[/quote] [thumb]http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-JEkGq4BWH9s/VUWbmChLj4I/AAAAAAAAELg/o5blp-9FpEs/s1600/Spam%2BSnacks.jpg[/thumb] image from [url]http://www.travelpro.us/2015/05/honolulu-holds-13th-annual-homage-to.html[/url]
I could sustain myself on just Spam
That looks disgusting.
[QUOTE=matt000024;48002354]That looks disgusting.[/QUOTE] looks like jerky to me, I'd try it
All though I'll eat SPAM every once in awhile, it's not something I'd stomach without other ingredients.
It looks like something I'd find in a ration pack.
[QUOTE=Agent Fedora;48002380]looks like jerky to me, I'd try it[/QUOTE] That looks like red quartz what are you talking about have you ever seen beef jerkey before.
It looks like these cubic, wrapper less crayons I always wanted to eat these
I never really had spam until I dated a Filipino
Spam is disgusting but I love it anyways.
My dog has been needing some new treats
[QUOTE=LSK;48002422]That looks like red quartz what are you talking about have you ever seen beef jerkey before.[/QUOTE] by jerky I mean the bits at the bottom of the bag, they look JUICY to me all I'm saying is if one of these was offered to me as a free sample I might take a nibble, I don't know man I'm only human

[QUOTE=Awesomecaek;48002347]I could sustain myself on just Spam[/QUOTE] You'd probably die
never forget [video=youtube;ODshB09FQ8w]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODshB09FQ8w[/video]
To this day I still have no idea what spam is, and can't even imagine its taste
Bite-sized spam musubis?
All i know about spam is that it was so terrible that people named garbage e-mails after it
Someone send one of these to Ashen effective immediately! I want to see his reactions.
I didn't know this until yesterday but apparently e-mail spam and such is named after Spam, the product.
This one time I grabbed a tin of spam and a fork and didn't stop until it was all gone good times
[QUOTE=Laserbeams;48003334]To this day I still have no idea what spam is, and can't even imagine its taste[/QUOTE] I'm assuming it's like a homogenous, more solid tushonka.
[QUOTE=maxumym;48003693]I'm assuming it's like a homogenous, more solid tushonka.[/QUOTE] It's canned pork, it look like dog food, smells like bacon and tastes something that can only be described as "Amplified ham" In any situation where several types of pork can use used interchangeably spam works very well, for example it's REALLY good on a pizza. It was also popular during post ww2 times because it was fairly cheap, lasted forever and resembled meat enough that the destitute families of post war Britain, at the very least, would eat it. it was versatile in that it could be used in sandwiches, soups and stews, with breakfast in lieu of bacon (bacon was hard to get back then) and with dinner as a replacement for sausages when having bangers and mash. Fish and chip shops began selling Spam fritters (battered and deep fried) and it just rooted it's way into our nations culture as a result. To put it bluntly, the United Kingdom is a land of downtrodden, grumpy, foul mouthed, perpetually depressed alcoholics who have taken beatings year in year out and the only comfort we can properly find is in tacky cheap entertainment because dear got the reality of the situation is that everything is terrible. Our Empire is gone, Our navy is a shadow of it's former self, our government is so retarded that they thought it was a good idea to sell off the companies that make out tanks, one of the few things we were actually good for, to an American corporation. Our Prime Minister is such a massive cunt he needs his own tampon every now and then and our economy is so far down the shitter that it's no longer a job for the plumber but the national water company. But at least we can dip into a can of spam every now and then, and enjoy the dirty cheap little pleasure it gives.
[QUOTE=maxumym;48003693]I'm assuming it's like a homogenous, more solid tushonka.[/QUOTE] The product itself is processed pork shoulder, a bit of ham and some other preservatives (both natural and otherwise), cast into a small loaf of meat product (so yes, more of a homogeneous variant of meatloaf, made in a factory). It's not exactly tushonka, since it's not stewed, but it can be eaten and prepared in a myriad of ways, plus it's apparently still very much edible even a few years after the best before date, making it the kind of food that we'd probably ALL be eating this in the months following nuclear armageddon. That said don't expect to wander the wasteland 200 years hence and find an edible can of the stuff, since even sodium nitrite can't preserve it as long as Cram would have you believe.
