Dude......

Cooking with an even thickness insures you don't have any rubbery bites.

Chula, man, I'm really sorry to let you down like this. In my defense, as of just a few short hours ago, I was a spam noob. Now I have the experience to guide me forward. I thought at the time that I could tear the 1/4" thick wedges by "eyeing it," only to find out that they don't tear evenly. I also thought that if that didn't work, then I could make them into patties, just like you do with ground meat. I was wrong.

Step 8: Buy some goddamn potatoes.

Yes, thank you. I usually buy about one potato a week, but it's the ready-heat ones. Just so happened I didn't have one on hand this week. While one potato is not a burlap, hopefully this is a step in the right direction.

Forgiven.

Seriously though, cutting it into uniform thickness makes for perfect cooking and eliminating any rubbery texture. Don't let your first ****ed up Spam experience screw up your world view of Spam.

That would be sad.

I didn't want to say anything but i saw all this going downhill when you added peas to the pasta.

And i can't believe you topped it all off by drinking chocolate milk, you must have an iron stomach.

The spam burger looked alright but apparently he didn't like it much.

Aux in don't give up on spam yet, try it for breakfast it goes good with eggs.

You just have to have a very flexible definition of good.

It wasn't bad, it's just that there are better meats to choose from that are around the same price point, although I'd have to check prices next time I go to the store. For example, two 6 oz. cans of tuna could do the same thing in cheese pasta and taste much better. Spam was somewhat tasteless, airy, slightly rubbery, but I didn't cook it properly due to my inconsistent cuts, and the burnt parts stood out more when I was eating it.

Kind of a good point, as spam might work better with a breakfast food such as [scrambled] eggs.
