I have probably sent this link off to at least 4 people I know. Ad Hoc looks unbelievable! Thank you so much for putting this entry in :)

Comment on Desperate Times Renew Demand for SPAM by Arnold

I wonder if it’s because the Chinese have their own canned luncheon meat made by Ma Ling. It looks like SPAM but doesn’t taste quite like SPAM..not as salty.

The Koreans, on the other hand, have budae jjigae, a.k.a. “Army Base Stew” that features hot dogs and SPAM among other things. It was something the Koreans made up using leftover, black market or stolen Army rations during the lean times after the war. I’ve had different variations of this stew and it’s really good.

I’m in New York, specifically on Long Island, where the population is largely caucasian. I do go into and work in Queens everyday though, where the Asian population is large, but primarily Chinese, and they don’t seem to approve as much of SPAM as Filipinos and other asians ethnicities do.

As the grandson of a WW2 veteran, I was given accounts of SPAM as a rubbery sort of… substance, mass produced from ground-up cats somewhere. But it doesn’t look that bad here, honestly. Reminds me of labercase.

Ryan, SPAM and eggs is a classic and that’s garlic fried rice underneath. I’ve always looked at SPAM through a Filipino/Asian lens, so it’s always interesting to see what other cultures do with it.

Where are you exactly?

Well, this is interesting. Where I live, SPAM is nearly non-existent, and has always had a tendency to stay on the shelf. I always thought this to perhaps be because the food lasted so long and since no one was eating it… There always had to be a can tucked away from 1942 somewhere, right?

But I never actually saw what was inside those dusty cans until now. It’s actually less scary than I expected. And now that you mention it, I have been seeing more cans of the stuff in shopping carts lately. Apparently it still serves it’s role as a staple of hard times.

In reading through the recipie for the above, when I went to the sauce recipie there was a book in the upper left corner of the page. “Italian Cooking” I had a copy of that many years ago and lost it. Do you know where I can locate a copy?

Thank you.

@Chaime: If you’re around on New Year’s Eve, you might want to consider going to brunch then. Last year’s was ridiculous: http://www.inuyaki.com/archives/122

That looks delicious. Thank you so much for posting this! My coworker and I have been arguing whether it’s worth the drive to go up there on a Sunday morning, and this just solidified my answer!

I think I’ll have a piece of that chocolate lavender cake. And since you say it’s not too sweet, maybe I’ll have another one after that. LOL It looks absolutely divine.

Love this stuff. So hard to find calamansi in Chicago but when I do, I think of bistek.

I’m always afraid of overdoing things with kalamansi, but I’m definitely going to have to give your version of bistek a try. My mouth is watering!
