SPAM Fries - Fab Food 4 All

The official SPAM® Appreciation Week starts on 5th March 2016 and to get the party started there will be a SPAM® Can Tour (fresh from a successful tour of the US) which will start in Liverpool and go on throughout the summer. Fans of SPAM® Chopped Pork and Ham can bring the whole family to visit the specially designed eye catching airstream van and sample the increasingly popular SPAM® Fries which are appearing in popular restaurants across the country. Regional chefs and special guests will also be on hand at some of the venues to show just how versatile SPAM® Can be!

As well as eating there’s lots of fun to be had with family and friends! How about having your photo taken in the Giant SPAM® Can or even playing the specially created SPAM® Can Alley game at the more family orientated events. Fans can round off their day by bringing home a free commemorative tour lanyard that shows the various ways SPAM® Can be enjoyed, from the ultimate breakfast fry up to traditional favourites such as SPAM® Hash, plus a free branded trolley coin that can be used in all major UK supermarkets.

    I hate the stuff but my Dad loves it cold with salad, cold with boiled potatoes (yuck!), as spam fritters, spam pasta bake, spam omelette, spam hash… he lives on the stuff and he’s 82 but looks 50. I’m starting to think it might be some kind of wonder food!

    SPAM satay. A funny little place in Hong Kong used to serve it and I often stopped in for some while I was shopping, and I’ve made it at home a couple of times. I really ought to put a recipe on my blog!
