Time to get your party hat on!
Spam just turned 75!*
In their wildest nightmares,
who could have ever predicted that a
"ham-like nodule amalgam
encased in a quivering gelatinous coating"
would last longer than the marriage
of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes?
Did anyone ever jump on Oprah's couch and proclaim their love for a hunk of Spam on Wonder bread?
The answer to that my friends is a big fat no.
Spam has survived scorn and a bevy of failed taste tests
to celebrate 7 decades plus a fiver
despite a profound and well earned lack of respect.
(The army liked to call it
"ham that didn't pass it's physical".)
So get on out there and celebrate
So get on out there and celebrate
with a tender morsel of Spam wusubi.
Or,
you can just eat a Vienna sausage,
which is neither from Vienna, or a proper sausage,
but a Spam cousin, once removed
molded into a flesh-toned cylinder of horror.
Bon appetit!
