For a guy who is used to 4 eggs with a couple pieces of bacon or sausage, not to mention a few slices of bread every morning, 28 spams doesn't go very far. Murphy's Law dictates that you're likely going to get more than your fill of Spam after saying that.

We tried that - Kevin and I didn't dare say anything for the two days last week that there was no spam. You can see how well that worked LOL! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds excellent. What do you do with the chard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After flying way out of range, @Quiscalus quiscula will need to rest and replenish enough energy for the return flight home. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I chop some garlic and onions and sauté them in a little bit of oil. Wash the chard and leave it dripping wet to add some water as it cooks. Chop the chard stems and put them in to sauté with the onions and garlic. I chiffonade the chard leaves and add them to the onions, garlic, and stems in the pan and continue to sauté. Season with salt, pepper, and my favorite mixed herb blend (hey, it's early in the morning LOL!) Add a little bit of homemade vegetable broth when it gets dry. When the leaves are tender dig in! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(You can use water or other kinds of broth if you don't make veggie stock.) (And it works with turnip greens, amaranth greens, spinach, or other soft greens too.) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds good, can't say I have ever had chard like that before, but beet tops cooked like that, with a little cream.... I can eat a whole lot of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spread Duke's Mayo on two slices of white bread (Sunbeam or Wonder, preferably). Put two to four slices of fried Spam on one piece of bread. Add two 1/4 slices of Velveeta, and cover with the second bread slice. Put the whole sandwich back in the lard and fry on both sides until the Velveeta is gooey. Redneck heaven. Mind you, I don't eat white bread or Velveeta, and have never used lard. Edited October 18, 2022 by Charlie Spencer 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a result we grind our own wheat(we don't grow our own, tried, and it didn't do too well, so we just have to be happy with 50 pound bags), and mom bakes it. Cut you a slice, use some fresh home made butter from the cow, throw it on the skillet(no toasters for me thank you), and toss on some fermented cranberries, and your good to go. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live on Tuscan bread. That's EXACTLY what it does. If you eat a sandwich with it, the upper piece will stick to your mouth in a semicircle where you bit it. I haven't touched it in decades. I'd rather have no bread at all. EDIT In the '60s they had ads showing one of them was so soft, you could tear it evenly from top to bottom. I didn't understand why this was considered important, then or now. Edited October 18, 2022 by Charlie Spencer 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HamRHead Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Spam used to have a recipe on the can for a glaze--brown sugar mustard and vinegar. It's delish. Spam is also good cubed, fried and added to potato soup or made into gravy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
