I just *love* to "complain" about SPAM Singles. I claim that: "This is the end of Western Civilization as we know it. SPAM is supposed to come in a CAN!"
Actions speak louder than words. I used to buy the singles at WalMart, until WalMart was either constantly sold out of them, or stopped carrying them (I am not sure which). Now, I order them from Amazon in bulk. The fact of the matter is, the singles are just so convienient.
Special Processed American Meat (SPAM) is an American icon. It has served through two world wars. It is a staple in the state of Hawaii. It inspired a skit and a song from Monty Python's Flying Circus (did you catch the headline at the top of this review?).
Essentially, SPAM is pork shoulder and pork butt ground up, smooshed into a cube, and cooked in it's own can. If you never tried SPAM, go to your grocery store, pick up a can (or if you are lucky enough to find the singles, pick up a single) and try it. SPAM can be eaten right out of the packaging, as part of the processing is that it is pre-cooked. However, many people love fried SPAM. Some people boil slices of SPAM, to remove some of the sodium, before frying it up.
If you purchase by the can, Amazon sells SPAM slicers (I use Amazon ASIN B0824Q1HYP). But as I stated, the singles are just so convienent. Just tear open the package at the top, slither the SPAM Single out of it's package on to a slice of bread, slap another piece of bread on top, and you got an instant SPAMwich.
I have recently tried frying my SPAM Single before putting it between bread slices. I have to admit, for someone who is used to eating SPAM "cold," heated up SPAM is a treat. I'm not sure if I am frying it enough, however, as it should have a crispy outside, and a soft inside. I have not gotten it very crispy, so I may be rusing to eating my SPAM Single.
For people who know SPAM, all I can say is: "This is the SPAM you have always known, it is just bread-shaped." Literally, whoever the person is at Hormel foods (that came up with the idea of making SPAM to fit bread) is a genius.
Convienent. Convienient. Convienent.
