Seems like it's been about forty years for me, too, since my last serving of Spam. The stock must have tanked about then. I used to like it just fine, but then there was a rumor about what was actually in it that was going around in the late 70s. That kind of turned me off. Seems a bit silly, considering all the bologna sandwiches, hot dogs, sausage biscuits (Murrican kind, not cookies) and so on that I have eagerly consumed over the years. I still buy pickle & pimento loaf, old fashioned loaf, olive loaf and things like that from the deli. It's probably no better than Spam.
Mom used to buy Deviled Ham when I was a kid. That makes a good sandwich. I like it for camping, traveling, and taking to work because it comes in a small can so it doesn't have to be kept cold. I seldom take it to work anymore though, because it freaks people out. Apparently it is not well known these days, but some people are familiar with something called Potted Meat Product, which is generally considered nasty and comes in a similar can. I'm not kidding; some people are offended. Wankers. The deviled ham label says it contains ham and spices or something like that. Anyway, it has gone up in price in recent years, Ms Popper doesn't care for it, and I haven't done any solo camping in quite a while. Dinty Moore beef stew used to be great for camping, but years ago the chunks of beef were replaced with unappetizing spongy meatball bits. Yeah, no thanks.
