Yikes my older relatives that went through the war loved this stuff and made it when we stopped by to visit. It has a distinct taste no matter if it is served cold or fried. Not my cup of tea.
I've been through Austin, MN, the home of Hormel and SPAM - it has a distinct odor as well. SPAM isn't one of my favorites but my wife loves it fried. I've always described it as "Ham that didn't pass its physical"
