Book Description
From Publishers Weekly
Dating from the 1930s, featured in the Smithsonian, rocketing to unimagined heights of success and staying there for 60 years who would have guessed that "shoulder meat left over from the pork industry," blended with ham and
canned as a luncheon meat would enjoy such glory? In SPAM: The Cookbook, Marguerite Patten (Marguerite Patten's Post-War Kitchen) offers 20 recipes (Thai SPAM Cakes; SPAM steaks in Port Wine); a concise history of SPAM (the visionary Jay C. Hormel beat
the odds when he sold his brainchild to his father and then the world; by 1944, 90% of Hormel canned foods "were exported to various theaters of war"); quotes and excerpts from Nikita Kruschev, Monty Python and fan clubs; and much more world-wide
SPAMiana. Pop-culture lovers will drool. Photos.

Book Description
If all the cans of SPAM(r)...ever eaten were placed end to end, they would circle the globe ten times. Residents of
Hawaii eat an average of 4 cans of SPAM(r) per person each year--more than any other place on earth! It's retro, it's fun, and it's about lunchmeat! Just think of how many friends you could give this to! And be sure to keep a copy for yourself, because
you don't want to miss out on the fun, the lively anecdotes, and the merry memories of SPAM(r) dinners. From the giant SPAM(r) can on a building to the fastest SPAM(r) can on earth (it's a car) to the hilarious SPAM(r) song intoned by the Monty Python
troupe, this is an irresistible treat. Packed with drawings and photos from the nostalgic to the wacky, and with 20 recipes that will redefine your idea of the SPAM(r) meal, this scrapbook of SPAM(r) treasures is one delicious treat! "Without SPAM(r), we
wouldn't have been able to feed our army."--Nikita Khrushchev.
