As someone who spent much of my youth at my Grandparent's place in Spam town USA I take umbrage to anyone calling Spam mystery meat lol. It's actually all from pretty decent cuts of pork, which is weird considering how cheap it is. That Monty Python skit is a classic by the way.

Taste you can hear

Pork - life balance

Hey, no offence intended. I used to eat it sliced and fried as a kid - cheers

Gave me a small smile in movie 'Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris' when Spam made a cameo appearance. Was/is that a common food in Britian?
