I’m still not sure why there is vegetarian Spam, but…

Apparently this is a soy and wheat gluten loaf and is made in the Phillipines.

Maybe! Idk, I used to like mock duck. Soy based lunch meat is pretty good too. Alas, I’ll never be able to try this company’s stuff as it all has wheat in it.

Sounds like its essentially seitan, and frankly you can do amazing things with wheat gluten. My personal fav is the hilariously named WTF method (wash that flour).

For spam I imagine they just salt the hell out of it. 😂

Neither! SPAM is cheap fatty salty protein. What’s not to love? It’s isn’t worse than a hot dog.

Does Spam need meat to be great? Feels like an easy swap to me!

Totally agree. I love SPAM but I’ll bet a non-meat version is totally doable.

They’re pretty shitty vegans because they eat seven million cans of Spam per year.

TIL that Hawaii is a country…

And don’t they rely on fishing? They have a severe lack of farm land…

Real talk though. My vegetarian wife struggled to find good vegetarian meals in Oahu that were Hawaiian themed. Not that they didn’t exist. Just that they were lacking compared to most major cities in America.

Me as a BBQ eater though… Gimme dat pork butt.

For that price I’d happily try it.

However good or bad it is. It can’t be worse than luncheon meat. Treet meat and it’s offbrand variants.

The price of spam is just criminal nowadays. Costs more than corned beef.

There’s a vegan sushi/ramen place near me that makes something between musubi and onigiri with vegan spam and they’re crazy good. So that’s one use for it.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
