Before you offer, remember that it will be my dinner. It will either be put on a roll and slathered with brown mustard and relish, or I will dig into it with a knife and a fork. In either case, I will then sink my teeth into it, chew it into mush, and then swallow it...
Now I've probably gotten you all hot & bothered, haven't I? Oops....
My brother is a salesman for Hormel in CA. He has to put on trade shows all the time up & down the coast. I don't know how well it's known that SPAM is Hormel's biggest seller & profit margin item. The most SPAM is sold in Hawaii. It's so revered over there it's included in every wedding & all gatherings in Hawaii. You can't go anywhere without seeing SPAM. So my brother is up in San Francisco at a trade show. Now, my brother never took any SPAM to any of the shows, until this incident. A Hawaiian came by the booth browsing & asked my brother where the SPAM was. My brother laughed & said we never show it around here. Well the Hawaiian took offense & raised a stink about it. He was some restaurant owner as well. Lets just say SPAM has a prominent place in my brothers shows now. He was educated, so to speak.

Yeah, I saw SPAM more than I expected to in Hawaii, that's for sure. Even saw some sort of dish made with it on a restaurant menu. Now THAT blew my mind. (Edit: a fairly nice restaurant, not some fast-food dump)
Think I'll leave that site alone, myself. If anything, I'd rather know <i>less</i> about SPAM, not <i>more</i>.

It also gives me plenty of ammunition to use against my Brother. Believe me I use it on him too, he's Family! Like the SPAM collector can set they've issued in Hawaii! I told him I wanted a matched set!! After all, a High Powered Salesman for SPAM should be able to pull that off, don't you think?
