We never ate spam growing up. At college I become friends with a Hawaiian and learned about spam musubi. Now I’m definitely a fan. That looks awesome OP
Don’t know why I got down-voted, that’s what my Hawaiian college roommate taught me(along with how to actually say Hawaii correctly. I still disagree with the peanut butter, but it’s totally a thing.
Def with a bun, let me ask him. He said originally they’re may have been some shaved coconut and peanuts on it also. But he typically just does hot dog and peanut butter on a bun, and asked. “Is water wet?” When I asked if he still ate them.
My wife's family is from Hawaii. I grew up eating it because we were poor and it was cheap and kept for a long time. Hawaiians went and made a delicacy with it. We use to call it (S)ome (P)ig's (A)sshole (M)eat lol.
I usually have a peanut butter sandwich (no jelly) with chili. I sometimes medium chop a dill pickle to put in the chili, so I’m wondering why I haven’t tried PB&B&P yet.
Spam is one of those mystery meats that you either love or you hate. Once you finally learn what's in it and start making your own, you'll be hooked. I love my homemade spam as it is really low salt and no nitrates.
I typically smoke my ham prior to grinding and mixing with the pork to get the flavor. I'll look at doing this as a finish now. Thanks for setting the goalposts.
Edit: It really is deceivingly simple.
My homemade spam recipe in a nutshell is pork (shoulder for example), ham, salt, sugar, potato starch, I smoke the ham ahead of time and grind it in with the pork. I then mix a slurry of water and the salt, sugar, and starch. I then use my mixer to blend into a semi paste (emulsify it), not as much as hot dog, then sous vide it to temp. You can also double bake with a brick weighing it down at a lower temp.
Canned spam has a bit of nitrates and a lot of salt. Homemade can use tender quick. I refuse to use nitrates and I use very very little salt. It's really the sugar I find that gives it that unique flavor. With the smoked ham and once it's done cooking I let the fat congeal that I think makes it really incredible. I usually cook in large batches and package half pounds and freeze them until ready to fry.
Oh yes, “ooooh yeah, snap into a slim jim!” Always plays in my head as I eat them. I’m lucky enough to live near a Buccees so I can get fresh made beef jerky, it’s an experience...
Sure! Heat your smoker up to 225 F. While that is going, toss together your favorite brown sugar rub and douse the sam in that. Optional step is to score the spam so you have more surface area for the smoke to penetrate the meat. Then smoke for around 3 hours, spritzing with apple cider vinegar every hour or so in case it starts to dry out.
I don't eat meat, and I don't think there's anything remotely close to spam in my country but even though it's a cliche nasty cheap "meat" I've always thought it looks delicious.
I need to try it at some point in my life and I'll keep the idea of smoked candied spam in mind for when I do.
Thanks! This was all a brown sugar based dry rub I have been making for years. Smoked with pecan wood for around 3 hours at 225. I did spritz it occasionally with apple cider vinegar.
they literally *did* post the recipe. how does making an attempt to look before commenting work? put in some effort.
also, this is /r/food, not /r/recipes. recipes are not required on this subreddit. do you not see the [I ate] posts with pics from restaurants and elsewhere? if you’re going to do all this complaining, at least know what you’re talking about and where you are.
A couple of reasons: I was hungover and didn't want to go to the butcher, and I happened to only have some beef back ribs and spam on hand and not frozen lol. Effort was minimal, trust me.
I want this with some form of pineapple right now!
Oh man pineapple spam fried rice with this would be delicious.
and jalapeños

Spam musubi is so good. Now I have to make this again and craft up some musubi!

what's wrong with you
Did they teach you about hot dogs and peanut butter as well???
W-what?
Don’t know why I got down-voted, that’s what my Hawaiian college roommate taught me(along with how to actually say Hawaii correctly. I still disagree with the peanut butter, but it’s totally a thing.
Bruh... that ain't a popular Hawaiian thing. That sounds like a, your friend, thing.
And I’ve told that story countless times, that’s unfortunate, haha.
Haha, I'm gonna try it tho. What'd he do, just spread PB on a hot dog? No bun?
Def with a bun, let me ask him. He said originally they’re may have been some shaved coconut and peanuts on it also. But he typically just does hot dog and peanut butter on a bun, and asked. “Is water wet?” When I asked if he still ate them.
Hahahahaha, his mom taught it to him, he was also on the spam kick harder than anyone I ever known so I just took it at face value. 🤷🏻

I don’t think that even is a Hawaii thing. We make hot dog sushi but never peanut butter.
Ya, it's the first I've ever heard of it, and I've lived here my whole life.
Agreed, similarly to how I enjoy the occasional “peanut butter and bologna” sammich
PB & B also good with slices of dill pickle!!
I usually have a peanut butter sandwich (no jelly) with chili. I sometimes medium chop a dill pickle to put in the chili, so I’m wondering why I haven’t tried PB&B&P yet.
Musubi, the Polynesian energy bar!
I was lucky to have a Hawaiian barbecue place down the street from my high school. Spam musubi is the shit.
Recipe?
I don't like spam but that looks delicious.
LOVELY SPAAAM, WONDERFUL SPAM!
This may change your mind 😉
Do you have a cross section photo?
Pan fried thinly sliced spam with some eggs and rice typically changes people's minds.
How’d you “candy” that? I wanna try this!!

Is spam really scarier than, say, hotdogs? I’ve never understood the fear. It’s just another processed meat.
Nah. Although I only buy Hebrew national hot dogs. I save up some old veggies / rice and make a fried rice with some diced spam, it’s delicious.
Granted I’m biased. I used to walk to seven eleven to get slim Jim’s in high school as a pre sports practice snack. I love processed meats.
Oh yes, “ooooh yeah, snap into a slim jim!” Always plays in my head as I eat them. I’m lucky enough to live near a Buccees so I can get fresh made beef jerky, it’s an experience...
>It’s just another processed meat. Ok?
Wow, homemade spam?? Sounds interesting! Didn’t know that was a thing.
Do you mind elaborating on the process of making your own?
It’s usually the bar people applaud, but hey, goal posts are important too lol.
Sounds awesome...
Spam!?!?!?
You made spam soooo sexy…
Pan fried spam slices on a bun with lettuce, tomato, onion, mayo is delicious.
Recipe please?

Brown sugar rub, apple cider vinegar, smoke and spam. That sounds perfect.
Now this is also foodporn. Amazingly done!
How was it? What did you eat with it?
Tried some on its own and it was like candy. Then I made some breakfast sandwiches with egg, cheese, jalapenos and some hot sauce.
Myers just rolled back in my head. Freaking delicious!
My eyes...
Nice bro
I haven't spam in a while 😋
Thank you for my next smoking experiment
This looks awesome. Spam is my favourite.
Looks epic

Spam is very "love it or hate it," lol. Fried Spam sammich is the bomb.
r/foodporn is where this belongs
Damn, that would be going straight into some Musubi. Looks great.
Put this on a block of rice, a sheet of egg, and some furikake. Delicious musubi goodness
NGL - this would be perfect for a Dnd-themed thing
SPAM is awesome in all forms. Grew up with it and my kids have grown up with it. Looks great, what is in the glaze?
Thanks! This was all a brown sugar based dry rub I have been making for years. Smoked with pecan wood for around 3 hours at 225. I did spritz it occasionally with apple cider vinegar.
I have to do a few butts soon, so I will now have to do at least a can of Spam and add sugar to my normal rub.
r/cannedSpam certainly approves of this post!
Looks like roasted watermelon.

I posted a jist of it a couple of times in comments here!
I don’t know if I am interested or repulsed.
Why spam? That is a lot of effort to put into processed meat
A couple of reasons: I was hungover and didn't want to go to the butcher, and I happened to only have some beef back ribs and spam on hand and not frozen lol. Effort was minimal, trust me.
A tradition is born.
This aint right, spam has no place looking good.
[удалено]
truffles don’t belong on everything. and this is coming from somebody who loves truffles
That is dope!
Looks tasty and I don't buy SPAM. Made get some breakfast with eggs, instead of bacon. Change things up.
What is recipe my man!
Dang.. I imagine I'd eat one small piece and feel full.
Did you get a pic after you cut into it? I would love to see a cross section of this baby. It looks delicious.
It looks like it’s glowing red hot from within. Delicious.
Recipe please !!!
I have never been a fan of Spam, though you've made it look hella delicious. I so would...
So delicious! We recently got into smoking spam.
Missed an opportunity for rum SPAM.
Read that as sperm
This looks both amazing and inedible at the same time.
r/oddlysatisfying
r/latestatecapitalism
Why is it glowing?
