| Dear Mike: |
According to the The Amazing SPAM Home Page, the ingredients of SPAM are as follows: - chopped pork shoulder meat with ham meat added
- salt (for binding, flavor, and firmness)
- water (to help in mixing)
- sugar (for flavor)
- sodium Nitrite (for color and as a preservative)
And here are some other interesting SPAM-related facts to consider: - In the United States, 3.8 cans of SPAM are consumed every second.
- Hawaiians eat an average of four cans of SPAM per person per year (this is the highest SPAM consumption rate per capita in the world).
- Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia eats a SPAM and mayonnaise sandwich three times a week.
- Nikita Krushchev credited SPAM with the survival
of the WWII Russian army. Quothe the Krushchev: "Without SPAM, we wouldn't have been able to feed our army."
