On a lighter note, does anyone know why it's called 'spam'?

Legend says it derives from an old Monty Python skit, "Spam Spam Spam". Two customers in a cheap café trying to order from a menu that includes Spam in every recipe.
MENU: Egg and bacon Egg, sausage and bacon Egg and Spam Egg, bacon and Spam Egg, bacon, sausage and Spam Spam, bacon, sausage and Spam Spam, egg, Spam, Spam, bacon and Spam Spam, Spam, Spam, egg and Spam Spam, Sausage, Spam, Spam, Spam, Bacon, Spam, Tomato and Spam Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, baked beans, Spam, Spam, Spam and Spam Lobster Thermidor aux crevettes with a Mornay sauce, garnished with truffle pâté, brandy and a fried egg on top, and Spam. Here is a quotation from some Q&A column: As to why unsolicited email is called spam, it's because its ubiquity is reminiscent of the meat mentioned in Monty Python's "Spam Song" |

I like old-fashioned Spam: sliced, fried, with mustard on rye.
I'm not a fan of the online SPAM. |

Or have the toast on the side and serve it with tater tots.
For people who worry about the salt in spam, see this: https://joshmitteldorf.scienceblog.c...tanding-error/ |

Spam was introduced to South Korea during the Korean War. They are the second largest consumer of Spam after the US. It is also a top selling holiday gift.

I still recall being introduced to spam musubi and spam loco moco while on vacation in Hawaii. More of those times that "interesting" was the word to use.
