Oh my God...

There's no WAY this is edible.

Ira,
have you ever heard the tom t hall song about fried bologna and jailhouse gravy?

Now, the recipe above isn't one I'd try ordinarily, but I bet it's an acquirable taste.

(the worcestershire sauce will make the spam taste a little fishy)

As much as I dislike spam... there are worse things.

The worst recipe.....EVER
I don't make these things up. I don't have to.
This is from Kraft Foods' website. No link. (I can't bring myself to link to it.)

Elvis's Favorite
Peanut Butter Sandwich

2 white bread slices
2 Tbls. creamy peanut butter
1/2 banana - very ripe, peeled
2 Tbls. butter OR margarine

-Spread 1 slice of bread with the peanut butter.
-Lay banana slices on peanut butter.
-Top with the other slice of bread.
-Melt margarine in a skillet over medium heat.
-Fry sandwich until golden brown on both sides.

Notes: Elvis would eat this greasy thing with a knife and fork.
No wonder he got a bit PORTLY in his later years!

This stuff kinda reminds me of Dennis the Menace

When I was a kid a Dennis the Menace Special was:
Peanut butter & liverwurst on raisin bread.
(I think maybe this was a joke? I never ate one.)

EEECHHH!!!

And Earl, never heard of that.

The one dish I HAVE always wanted to try, even though it sounds weird, is that sandwich that Elvis Presley used to love:

I think it was white bread, peanut butter, bacon and honey.

It seems like those ingredients WOULD go together okay, but I've just never been able to bring myself to make one.

How the heck do you write that with a British accent??

I believe that like the PB & banana sandwich, it was fried.

Dutch oven spam pizza, It goes without saying this recipe did not win any awards at the Spam Cookoff, side note the winning recipe that year.... Spam on the half shell.

Here's a sandwich for you rocknroll fans

one slice marbled rye bread
one slice white bread
one slice white American cheese
one slice sharp cheddar cheese
one slice cooked salami
one slice baked ham
one slice oven roasted turkey
one slice dry salami

lettuce
onions
tomatoes
diced avocado

Lay the bread down on a cutting board and shave off the outer crusts. Now mash the edges together with a fork to make a pocket on one long and one short side. Break the slices of cheese in half and stack them, alternating flavors. wrap them in the turkey, then the ham; wrap this in the salamis. Slice the rolled fillings into quarters like a jelly roll.
In the pocket of the bread lay a slice of filling, a little shredded lettuce, a little diced avocado, a little diced tomato and a little diced onion. Repeat ending with rolled filling. Carefully close the remaining sides as before, and toast very lightly on a hot buttered skillet (about 1/2 minute per side).

Spam... because you're poor, and there's nothing else in the house.

I've been known to cook up some spam on occasion. I look at spam as being hot dog filling, and treat it as such. Consequently, the spam rueben:

1 loaf rye (or sour dough) bread
1 quantity of cheese (swiss or any hard white cheese)
1 can spam
1 can sauerkraut

Take the spam out of the can, slice into 1/4" patties. Fry them up until they are somewhat browned on the surfaces. Now add the can of sauerkraut continue frying until the kraut gets a bit browned and starts to pick up some color (not much, just a little).

Scrape everything off the pan and into a bowl.

Grease up the pan with just a smidge of butter, oil etc. Put bread on with cheese and start making a grilled cheese. Once everything is good and melty, remove from heat, scrape in some spam and kraut, add mustard and discover an entirely new reason to wonder why you didn't buy knockwurst.

Note: This is what we in the industry call a "potent" recipe. If you are not used to ethnic german foods such as sauerkraut, much less fried kraut with meat this is undoubtably NOT FOR YOU.

But if it is your thing give it a shot!

Can of Spam
Large jar baby food apricots
flat can crushed pineapple
Small bottle maraschino cherries
2 chipotle peppers + 1 Tbsp adobo sauce
1 Tbsp ginger juice (peel & slice fresh ginger and squeeze out juice with lime/lemon squeezer)
Rice
Water
Butter

Put the pineapple, apricots, peppers, and stemmed cherries plus their syrups in a molcajete (or a blender) and chop/mix. Pour this into a sauce pan and heat until edges bubble, stirring constantly; add ginger juice and adobo sauce, stir well, reduce heat to low and let simmer, stirring to stop sticking/scorching.

Meanwhile cook enough rice in water with 1 tsp butter per 1/2 cup raw rice to feed 4 persons; rinse the spam under hot running water (you want all that gooey jelly gone) and score it diagonally at about 1/2 inch intervals, not quite all the way through.

In a deep pie plate, spread cooked rice; drizzle with melted butter. Set sliced spam atop rice and pour hot sauce over; set under broiler on high for 3 minutes to heat spam through and serve.

At the Spamboree in Oceanside last year (my 1st), I was blessed with a second place ribbon for my first-ever SPAM D.O. dish - it was the only dish (of about 20 SPAM cook-off entries) that I saw cooked in a D.O..
It was a derivitive of a green chile - chicken enchilada recipe that I adapted to SPAM.
If I can find my notes from last year I'll post the recipe.

...back me up here, Rocky!

I knew a Fillipino who made fried rice with spam and it was really good!!!

But then again, his favorite saying was, "You can eat anything if it is boiled long enough???" Is that a fillipino thing???

You are right, SPAM is somewhat of a delicacy in the South Pacific. It has been blamed as a big contributor to the overweight population especially in Hawaii. Having been born and raised here, I have Southern food to blame. My mom would make fried rice with SPAM chunks in it too, it was really good. Just fry up some day old rice, add garlic powder, frozen veggies, scrambled egg and diced SPAM. Mom made it look easy but who knows, there might be a dozen more things that I might have missed.
Corned beef hash (in a can) with rice is also popular.

Don't know about the boiling thing, but come to think of it, mom did boil a lot of things.
