Spam heists in Hawaii prompt retailers to put the wildly popular canned meat in locked cases

WTF are the people from Hawaii smoking that volcano dust? who the **** would even eat spam but these people are stealing the stuff.
Spam is only good for one thing and that is a MP sketch.

Well....fried in butter, spam is pretty tasty.....salty, but if you are used to salty food it's quite good. There are corners of the nation where this is daily fare. Of course we could wax philosophic about oh......haggis. Which I would be happy to try.

We call it hurricane food. When a storm is coming, it's amazing how fast people stock up on spam, and potted meat.

potted meat with mayo.....yummmm! I never did want to know what kind of meat was thrown into that pot though.

I was at a all spam party in July! Everything they made had spam in it. Everythings edible when cook correctly!! It all tasted good to me! A couple of dishes were even excellent!! Spit and ham is good!!

who the **** would even eat spam but these people are stealing the stuff.

Probably the same folk who deep fry Mars Bars in batter.

In Germany Fleishkäse (meat-cheese) is hugely popular. And when we first returned to the UK - my mum gave us SPAM fritters with beans (was cheaper than sausages). Been a while - but I feel I must try again.

During Chuseok ( a harvest festival) in Korea, I was ...er... somewhat surprised... to see people give each other Spam gift packs. I kid you not.
Spam spam ... spam... spam

Spam spam ... spam... spam

Like you would need any more oil and fat with it
Apparently a Korean dish is a big thing in Hawaii as well. Yum Yum!

Korean Spam stew called 'budae jjigae' which means 'Army Stew'
