Spam - The Cookbook

Spam the cookbook is a really delightful read with excellent recipes that use Spam. During the 2nd world war Spam and frozen concentrated orange juice from the United States were real treats in the UK. At the same time, American soldiers who were accustomed to a much more varied diet back home came up with many disparaging names and poems for spam. And then there is the Monte Python skit about the diner that sells everything it makes with generous helpings of spam along with what is ordered. The author addresses the time, zeitgeist, and history that spawned the Spam skit. This little gem of a books includes the history of Spam, how it got it's name, and recipes from around the world. I love this little book. It really has a bunch of tasty recipes: Spam kebabs, Hawaiian Spam, deep Spam Pizza and many more.

I THINK SPAM WAS CREATED TO FEED OUR TROOPS DURING WORLD WAR TWO. SOMEHOW THE HAWIANS CAUGHT ON TO THIS PRODUCT AND ARE THE WORLD LARGEST USERS OF SPAM. WE JUST GOT THE COOK BOOK FOR SPAM. NEVER KNEW THERE WERE SO MANY WAYS TO USE SPAM.

Good cookbook for someone who grew up eating Spam. Very versatile product for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Good additional information about the background of Spam also. I would guess that soldiers from the world wars would already be familiar. Certainly helped bring them needed protein. Try a can, worth a try. You may end up like me always having a can in my larder for surprise visits (before covid). Everyone I made a stir fry or fried rice with Spam really liked it.

I wanted a COMPLETE cookbook. This tells the history of SPAM. Then recipes r 1/3 of the book, but the book is well written and fun to read. Lots of pictures. I read some interesting things of how it became so popular. Did u know it is big in ENGLAND? Read why.....

Got this for my dad & he loves it. Not only is this a funny gift, it actually has substance, including the history of spam. Very interesting read, & there are even some good recipes in there.

Great recipes and great history of canned meat from Hormel. I bought it as a gag gift for Christmas and it was a hotly desired gift. Great piece of nostalgia.

Full of great Spam facts, history and recipies.Bought this cook book as part of a White Elephant gift exchange, to go with the can of actual Spam of course. Both were a great success! Thank you to the the Hormel Company for creating such a culinary treat!Thank you also to the creators of this cookbook and, to the person who went home with it, may it serve as a template to #winning at dinner parties.

would recommend. nice new ideas in it.

Very good book. I've ended up buying 2 copies as I showed my brother my copy and he insisted on me sending him a copy. A must for Spam lovers

Great fun book. I bought as a joke with some tins of spam for my son. But, actually is a book with great recipes. It gave me so many ideas of how to use spam. Tried a few recipes and are simply delicious.

Some interesting stuff in this book with some fascinating recipes and some I'm not sure I'll ever try.

Sent to my daughter in Australia, she loves it.

arrived in excellent condition .as a paper back it was mint and no wear which is always nice given the life some have.
