When I logged into the forums this morning there were 3 PAGES of...Spam, Spam, Spam....

I like the schematic!  I think I'll just hold off reading too much about the ingredients, although I haven't had any Spam in *thinks* at least 20 years.  Amazing it's still around.

You can avoid the 3 day update hassle by going into SL once every week or two, as I do!

Spam Sushi

Amaze and impress your guests with this gourmet treat that's easy on your budget.  It's the electrical tape that makes it taste extra good. 

1 can of spam

2 cups of 3 day old leftover cooked white rice

Crisco Shortening

1 roll of electrical tape

Remove Spam from can, reserving can.  Slice into 10 slices, discarding end slices.  Saute spam lightly in Crisco.  Drain on paper towel and put in refrigerator for 30 minutes to cool.  In the meantime grease can with Crisco and mash 1/4 cup of rice into bottom of can to mold it into the spam shape.  Turn can over on plate and tap bottom to release rice cake.  Repeat until you have eight cakes.  Remove spam from fridge and top rice cakes with it.  Cut off a strip of electrical tape and wrap it once around the spam topped rice cake making sure the ends meet at the bottom of the cake.  Arrange on plate and serve with soy sauce on the side.  Serves 4

 

*/wonders if duct tape can be used instead if you are out of electrical tape..\*

Very clever!  Who is that btw?  Love the baritone voice.  For some reason the first part of the song reminded me of this:

Being an opera afficianado, I LOVE this commercial - regardless of the topic I love the mixing of the dramatic voices.

I am sure you realize the "electrical tape" is actually seaweed.  Spam is consumed extensively in Hawaii, especially in sushi.  I love spam.  The ingredients are chopped pork shoulder meat, with ham meat added, salt, water, modified potato starch as a binder, sugar, and sodium nitrite as a preservative; very pure in ingredients compared to a lot of other prepared meats such as hot dogs, potted meat, etc.  The interesting thing about spam, and what makes it have an incredibly long shelf life without refrigeration is that it is mixed, placed in the can and heat sealed (cooked) under a vacuum.  My favorite is just white bread, Miracle Whip and 2 slices of spam for a midnight snack.

Thank you for taking the "scary" out of Spam, Kenbro, and I mean that sincerely.  I honestly did enjoy Spam back in the day.  It's honestly something I just haven't thought about except when it is brought up as part of a joke.  Judging by the ingredients you listed, it definitely is more pure than hot dogs for sure. 

Oh, I honestly didn't realize the tape was seaweed.  I used to add "sea vegetables," as my instructor called it in a macrobiotic cooking class I took, to soups and loved them.  I've been hearing a lot lately on some radio shows I listen to how iodine has been largely taken out of the American diet and that it is a much-needed mineral.

Kenbro's comment reminded me of a song which has almost NOTHING to do with your topic (although it does mention spam: once and once only).  It's by a group called 'Little  Village' and is from their only album. Four really good musicians. Ry Cooder, John Hiatt, Nick Lowe, and Jim Keltner on drums. One of my favorite songs.

I rather like Spam. It was almost a treat when I was a child. My mother did the cooking and while she did NOT like making meals out of things that came in cans, once in a while she'd relax and fix us something that wasn't bought fresh (those of you who think I was really lucky to grow up in a regime like that are absolutely correct). I still buy it now and then.

Not only that, I've been to Austin, Minnesota. I've even danced with a girl who lived there. She might be a one-time Spam Queen. No kidding. They have one or at least they once did: http://kalecollective.wordpress.com/2011/09/07/queen-of-spam/

Oh, the song. I was stalling, hoping that there would be a spammer attack while I was writing so that this might serve the intended purpose, rather than just amusing me. Oh well.

Thank you for the song, Dillon.   It helped mellow me out so I can settle down and go to bed.  Very nice song and I loved the island-type rhythm.  Reminded me of Jamaica.
