LOL i always hear Monty Python's spam, spam, eggs and spam skit in my head when people talk about spam.
I really need to try spam. It always turned me off all gel covered and greasy looking. But maybe it tastes like heaven? The fried spam with lettuce and mayo on a Flax seed muffin/bread sounds good.
It is kinda gnarly looking right out of the can, I'll give ya that. ;-) But fried up? Oh yeah. And it would be delish on flax bread, but is just as good in an iceberg lettuce wrap.0 -

I bought a Spam "single" - a slice in a foil package for under $1 at Walmart. No gel or grease. Tossed it into a frying pan, browned on both sides, cut it up and ate with a bit of dijon mustard to dip it in. It has a hammy salty flavor.0 -
Dan - I actually randomly decided to try Spam today. I'd never had it before. The scary thing is, as much as people rag on it...the ingredients were better than some of the ham steaks at the store! It's not bad.
Just the word SPAM has bad connotations from the e-mail thing. I hadn't eaten it since about 30 years ago (then the Fat demonization began). I don't eat it every day, its just like most foods, some days you have a hankering for something, and some days you don't. I like just a slice of cold Spam or in eggs (Like iBetty suggested).
It is really cheap meat and that's whats under consideration in this thread.
It even has a nice little tin can that I wash out and put knick nacks in....

Dagnabbit. Anybody know of a cheap tuna that DOESN'T have soy in it?
Ditto that. And you can't get it packed in oil anymore (more fat demonization). (I did see some in olive oil, but that's not the same as the original oil they used to put in it 30 years ago.)

Um um. Fried Spam and eggs
Yup. I'll admit to being a Spam lover, too. ;-) I like to eat it BLT style...fried, slather w/ mayo, tomato slice and lettuce. Mmmmm...
And a blast from the path for any fellow Python lovers:

OMGosh! I loved it! LOL!
I guess I never saw that one (I thought I had seen all of Monty Pythons Flying Circus' before.)
THANKS Tru3one for sharing!

It does stick with egg. I haven't baked it yet - half my chicken was still frozen, so I'm quick thawing it. Will report back after we eat.0 -
Chicken turned out pretty awesome. I put cooling racks on the cookie sheets (and put foil on the cookie sheets -don't skip that step!). Chicken tenders were dipped in egg, then the Kraft parmesan in a green can mixed with Italian seasoning and a bit of salt, then put in cookie sheet. Baked for 55 minutes at 325F, then took out and put a thin layer of spaghetti sauce and grated mozzarella on top & stuck back under the broiler until the cheese started to brown. It did stick to the racks a bit, so I will probably spray down the racks before I do it again. Kids also approve. Hubby does now, but might not after he cleans the racks...0

If you have a dollar store in your area check there. We have dollar tree that sell farmer johns link sausage and armor pepperoni. I also so get salami, sugar free caramel syrup, pork rinds and reduced sugar Heinz ketchup. I always check the date. It has help with my budget. I don't spend money on organic and grass Fed unless it's cheaper or the same price. I prefer Tillamook unsalted butter over kerrgold. If it fits in my way of eating and falls in my budget that's all I worry about.0

You can, but all the ones I've seen are packed in soybean or canola oil.
(I'd rather add my own fat source, anyway.)0 -
We are on a tight food budget for five people. I find that it is easier to maintain the budget with low-carb rather than other ways of eating (maybe because we don't eat out as much?). I purchase meat and eggs in bulk at Sam's Club, we don't eat organic, I purchase our other ingredients at a discount grocery store (Aldi around here usually has the best prices). We participate in a CSA during the spring-summer, but the produce isn't always low-carb friendly (but really, did squash cause me to gain all that weight?). I try to prepare everything we get from the CSA every week, and if I can't use it that week, try to preserve it for later (canned or frozen). We eat mostly frozen produce during the winter. For the kids, I make their tortillas, bread, and rice dishes from bulk ingredients. I find that it is mostly about shopping the ads if needed, shopping discount, planning, and prepping. If I don't do this, our food expenses could easily be over $1,000 a month. The amount of milk consumed by the kids could easily suck up my entire paycheck!0
