Spam Sushi

Rate: 39 Flag
hawaii-spam
 
 When I lived in Utah, a co-worker whose wife was Hawaiian would always bring spam sushi to potluck parties (standby while I vomit in my mouth just thinking about it).  I thought this was some crazy dish he invented.  To my surprise, and yes horror, this is a common treat in Hawaii and other places.  There are websites which feature it, and it's even in Wikipedia.  To each his own, I say.

 No matter how gross spam sushi is, it's not nearly as bad as OS spam.  OS spam sucks.

~R~

Rated...
i rated you from a '3' to a '6', ha.

os spam sucks big time, sure. but, well...you know, they (someone)
gotta make money off of our thoughts. That is Capitalism.
I dont much like Capitalism, i prefer Plato's
Republic where the philosopher
kings (and queens!) rule.
absolutely.
cuz, well,
they know.

spam? i gag. due to horrific childhood memories.
Algis, I don't even think champagne would make spam sushi taste good!

Matt -- Sorry. :)

nilesite -- probably not, but let's keep trying!!!

M.C.S. -- Agree!

Steel -- To each his own, hahaha! Knock yourself out.
James -- I'm so glad we didn't have to eat spam when I was a kid. I think we were too poor for even that. Thank God for small favors. I wonder what Plato would think of spam?
All I did was post a rant now we've gone completely insane!!!

Foul and awful. But it's quite popular in the Pacific, particularly for Hawaiians, believe it or not. Spam Musubi is particularly popular over there. Dunno how come. Must be some reason, tho', that so many like it.

Oh yes, Spam is good...the kind you eat,
not the kind you read!
Getcha sum!!!
The kind you eat,
Not the kind you read,
And by sum, I mean,

SPAM!! SPAM!! SPAM!! ":D
Camping out as an eleven year-old, Spam is your friend. You can heat it up, pretending to cook it or....not. Your point, well-made.
I hear it is one of Obama's home faves, it's called Musabi. Spam is a main food ingredient allover the Pacific rim, I have seen asian stores with upwards of 10 varieties. I even saw a Pacific Island art instillation with Oceania made out of spam pieces. At the De Young, so we know it's good art.
We did it! Every single 4 Hour feed post now has Spam in its title! Go see!
Now that's creative there, sushi spam. Haven't had that before, if I had a serving of Spam about once a week for ten years growing up, which still is a warm fuzzy, all the shapes one can make.
Oh gawd, spam sushi???
There's one of those moments to say you're vegetarian even if you aren't!
too funny...
Let's be honest here -- advertising spam is even more disgusting than Spam in a can. That's saying something since the original consists of compressed animal parts not otherwise fit for display, as well as sawdust and other fillers, and a federally mandated amount of fecal matter aka rathshit.

Say maybe we should start calling advertising spam ratshit.
I was so hoping that was really smoked salmon.
SPAM is BIG in the Hawaiian Islands. I even saw a SPAM Roast Pig at a Luau. Can you imagine? No! Don't even try. It'll give you Spam Nightmares.

SPAM was one of those canned meats they appeased the islanders with during the Second World War and like all other fatty things, it stuck.
--r--
Its a spam-o-rama!

now I'm kinda urpy
It's popular in such elegant Hawaiian eateries as MickeyD and BK...
Doesn't get any more all American than that...
Rated for the Spam of it!

Wonderful. Though I wish I could illustrate as does Algis Kemezys!
What's up with the Hawaiians and Spam anyway? Give me fresh seafood!!!

Fire, I will second ""No matter how gross spam sushi is, it's not nearly as bad as OS spam. OS spam sucks. ""
But I have the reciρe of sρam musubi and it is quite tasty!!!
Spam sushi - it's for real, just like the spam museum. Gods.
i have heard tales of this strangeness. perhaps those that doubt Obama was born in Hawaii should ask to see his cupboard.
SPAM SUSHI????????????/

Plato came to me in the netherworld of my dreams last night.
" hi, plato"
"hey, jim."
"firechick asked what u think of spam"
"what kind?"
"either the food or the computer stuff"
"the food ? It is a pale reflection of the Idea of the Worst Food Ever. Does firechick know what i mean by 'Idea' "
"yeah, archetype"
"Ok, now the computer stuff is the Internet's freudian death wish."
"aha. so we osers are his eros?"
"you bet."
Given that I don't eat fish because it doesn't like me and I did eat SPAM as a kid and liked it, though not for quite a few years now, the eating, I mean, I read the ingredients. Really shouldn't do that if you like something. Anyway, given all of that, I would try the SPAM sushi. What do they dip it in?
I missed this. Darn. Dang. O Sushi.

No chow down on rubber duck Sushi.

Maybe the editor likes tofu `Sushi?
Does anyone know if Kerry is well?
Maybe he sip bad CHAMPAGNE?
`
He sit in TP and cook catfish`Sushi?
You take spam sushi and dip it in spam OS and you have the most disgusting food in the world.
yaknow.....sushi....never understood the idea of payin someone to NOT cook my food.....missing sumthin here....gimme 25 bucks and i WON'T cut your grass.....hmmm..
Spam outnumbers us in the feeds right now. Time to get out the heavy (and humorous) artillery!
Let's go get 'em!
LOL
Wish I could rate twice....

Oh, wait! I CAN in my other persona, PWRD! Be right back!
Woo-Hoo! Another rate to keep ya in the 4 Hour feed!
:)
My mom used to give that nastiness to us alongside severely watered down tang.
That is the stuff of which nightmares are made.
