fandandy 3,311 Posted May 14, 2020 No. I had a customer come in yesterday looking for Spam, I knew I had some outdated that I had pulled off the floor months ago so I went to get it to just give the guy but when I saw how old it was I didn't offer it to him. I didn't eat it. I have 5 unopened containers of outdated SPAM. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

People that never had spam and people who have spam a lot. If You ever had it fried with eggs, it would become a regular part of your breakfast routine. well, probably not regular part due to the unhealthy nature of eating too much of it, but definitely something you would have more than just the one time. I have introduced so many girlfriends and buddies over the years to spam and I'd guess it's about 12 to 0 as far as the ratio of those who love it and those who don't.

You know what, you're probably right about having it fried. Well, at least back in the day anyway. I've virtually removed deep fried foods from my normal eating. There was a time that I'd eat anything if it were fried, so I most likely would have tried and like it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sometimes I purposely throw a word or two into my posts just because I know they drive certain members absolutely focking bonkers. And then I sit back and wait to see how long it takes for them to blow a gasket. Every now and then, a minute doesn't even pass before I catch them in my little net. I won't name names though.

Funny, I do the same thing and just post something and watch you blow a gasket. Always angry with all your replies pretending not to be upset by adding smiley faces to every post. So in your head.

My son had some mac and cheese at a friend's house a while back that he really liked. It had Velveeta in it, so he made my wife get some at the store. We used it and it does make mac and cheese pretty good if you blend it with a nice sharp cheddar. I looked at the box afterwards and the "best by" date on it was 6 months prior. No big deal because it isn't really food. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
