I can understand that .. its sort of a delicacy for me too. It can be

so when one lives in a country where the only pork available is imported

from Germany and costs around $8 for enough to make one ham sandwich.

 

I chop up Spam and cook it with scrambled eggs. ;-)

I haven't been to Okinawa since 1963 .. but back then they had some

pretty good bacon and sausage. Maybe they just like Spam because its

imported. Folks in Pennsylvania oughta try to develop a market there

for their Kielbasa and Scrapple. ;-)
