I agree SPAM is way too salty, I won't buy them again no matter the price.
Pffft babies….I want more salt and a cheese infused option!
I need salty food to help my brain function correctly.
You know they actually do make a Spam with cheese version!

Can't really taste the cheese but it's even saltier than the normal version, you might like it
@underscore: even saltier than the normal version
Funny typo on that page indicates that it's more than 100% sodium haha
Serving Size: 2oz (56g); Servings: 6
Calories: 170 ; Total Fat: 15g ; Saturated Fat: 6 ; Cholesterol: 40mg ; Sodium: 720g ; Total Carbohydrates: 1g >; Dietary Fiber: 0g ; Sugars: 1g ; Protein: 8g ;
So, in a can of 336g (6 servings of 56g each), there's 720g of sodium lol
I find this a bit dry for my liking, spam otherwise are much salty but it is not as dry as this.
Really - its 26% fat!
50% less version is tolerable… Sodium is 1018mg for SPAM normal, and 994mg for this. Difference negligible
Should have bought more during the last SPAM 50% sale in March
reported for spam
reported for counterfeit spam
man that has aged badly…nostaliga still got a grin out of it though
Anyone care to review? I love SPAM, will I love this?
Spam and egg with rice … yummy.
A bit less salty from regular spam.. my daughter couldn't tell the difference.. she still called it spam when we had it.. i'll try to buy at 3 or 4.. we make spam musubis at least twice a month..
I'll buy a few then, thanks.
This vs SPAM:
2.4% less salty
8% less protein
3.5% more fat
Contains Potassium Chloride
Contains Sodium Nitrite (Colour Fixative)
So its like SPAM but better!
You do realise that Spam stands for SPiced hAM?
I didn't, now I do.
Learn things everything, thank you.
That's what it's rumoured to stand for. The people who originated the name are weirdly coy about it so it does not officially mean spiced ham.
This product has a more 'real' meat taste and texture vs. Spam.
I'm sure you'll like it
stock up for lock down
yup thats what im doing. Sydney lockdown imminent.
Don't bother. Melbourne supermarkets, although empty at first, are still getting lots of stock.
Waiting for a joke from Jv
I'm waiting for years, for a good joke from Jv….
^ this is also true
Waiting for a joke from JV
I dont think it matters much but the on the tin, it states that it is "Produced in the USA" while on the web page it says "Made in Netherlands" either way it is good value @1/2 price :D
Well spotted.
You'll get a gold star when playing "where is wally?" :D
The Frankfurt cocktails are made in Netherlands. The rest are from the USA I think. Can't see the labels for hot dogs.
Who eats this crap?!
Non-vegan
I haven't tried this yet although I have a few cans but I find their leg ham a lot nicer than spam. There's chunks of meat and it's not as salty
Yo OP, I ain't interested in fake SPAM.
Can someone please explain what this or spam actually is? I've never tried it, how does it compare to ham off the bone?
Honestly, it is better if you don't know.
Abattoir floor sweepings!
chicken crests
Pork meat, little bit of ham, salt, water, potato starch and preservatives
Into a tin can, add heat and pressure to kill everything inside and outside
Label and profit since the WW2 with very little changes
Fav food in Hawaii
Mmm, Spam Musubi. Worth going back to Hawaii just for that! ;)
pork shoulder
It's made of the parts of ham off the bone you usually throw away.
It's made from the snouts and ears that chew toys and frankfurters reject.
Spam compares to ham off the bone much the same was as sausages compare to steak.
Perfect analogy!
If you like cheap SPAM, check out Aldi's version, tastes the same to me. Just don't accidentally grab the corned beef next to it - its horrific!
Any salt reduced version at Aldi?
I'm pretty sure it just the one variety - full strength! - nutritional info here https://www.myfitnesspal.com/food/calories/spiced-ham-816734…
Brazilian corned beef is amazing if you don't like how your pee smells because it'll smell so much worse after it that you'll be happy to go back to original.
Yeah nah, I'll wait half priced Spam.
Nice username!
Asian spam is way better. It got very little salt because its served with fish/soy sauce. Also there're so many variants: spam made from beef, pork, chicken, fat added, pork ear added, mushroom added, cinnamon (spice) added … Time to ditch canned food don't you think ?
http://www.lionbrand.com.au/blog/what-is-cha-lua-vietnamese-…
you are comparing asian fresh hams to canned. Different price range.
no stock at all my local woolies
I only eat steamed hams.
is this as salty as SPAM? personally I like SPAM but just too salty (even the reduced sodium ones)…
