Spam
August 12, 2014
I ended up with 4 cans of Spam, how is not important, why… photos of course. I opened one, it was the first time in decades I had been that close to Spam. The smell is overwhelming, I refused to touch it, it is not an inviting food and within 1 second of being placed on the board (outside)… a fly landed on it. It is if it came out of the can with it, I heard the slurp as it left the tin and there was the fly. My son asked, with the perfect tone “Is that greasy meat <pause> in a can? Why?” I had no answer, but even looking at this photo I can smell it, that is not a good thing. To those who enjoy Spam, never fear, I will not be taking your share. Here is some info on Spam from Hormelfoods. No mention of flies.
