A Taste of Halloween

Shoulda renamed it "Kit (Black) Kat".

Ugh! SPAM! The true acronym- Special Parts And Membranes.

TAKE IT BACK!!!  My wife found me loathsome when she discovered I was particular to SPAM. Then I challenged her to the following. You thin slice some SPAM and cook it on a frying pan (I like it crispy like bacon) and your life will become a better place.  Better yet, add some Kraft Macaroni and Cheese as a side and all your worries will be swept away. She is a SPAM fan now (and I cannot emphasize how unlikely that is).

As to the composition of SPAM I would take that over sausage or hot dogs if your being picky (and I will happily eat all of them). I have been eye witness to the process for both many, many times and prior to being formed into the hot dog shape, hot dogs have passed through a long conveyor belt of ALL the nasty pig parts getting discarded from the ham, bacon, pork chops, even the sausage. The hot dog is made from the sludge that is left over from all of that (kind of like Danny DeVito in the movie Twins.  Add some food coloring and run it through the hot dog shaper and there you have it.  The hot dog.

SPAM, it's what's for dinner.

Ugh! SPAM! The true acronym- Special Parts And Membranes. 

"The primary ingredient in Spam is chopped pork shoulder meat mixed with ham. About 90% of Spam is pork from a pig's shoulders. The remaining 10% (or so) comes from the pig's buttock and thigh, better known as ham."

It is held together with a little potato starch and the meat's natural gelatin.  Sugar and salt added.


Better than more highly regarded chorizo.  It has "lymph nodes, salivary glands and misc. meat bi-products".  Ymmm.   (I read that off the label for some that a roommate offered me many years ago.  I declined.

Halloween requires decadent munchies, if it's your favorite holiday...

'Stocked-up on bags of candy for tonight & noted Hershey and other brands are going for
a GLOW-IN-THE DARK wrappers theme.

Happy Halloween to all

My grocery store has already stopped stocking Thomas' Pumpkin Spice Bagels.  Nuts.  I am really gonna miss them.  I've been making killer ham sandwiches out of them. 

Yeah, I know.  Ham on bagels isn't really kosher - but delicious.

These look to be "Halloween" candies by dint of food coloring rather than flavor.  Still, these are kinda neat.

They are available from CVS Pharmacies and Ralphs Groceries in my area, so they shouldn't be TOO hard to find.

EDIT:

I see Target carries them, too.

Is Ralph's a regional chain?

Interesting how many manufacturers have moved from the traditional orange and black to purple and green for Halloween packaging.

Walmart makes a good Pumpkin Cake Roll with Cream Cheese Filling.

I was ordering my groceries and saw this listed, so I tried one.

Mike's right:  "Walmart makes a good Pumpkin Cake Roll with Cream Cheese Filling."
