Broke out the can of SPAM I bought for camp. 🥫

It was fine for lunch along with the pasta I cooked up but it sure was salty. I’m not sure I’m much of a fan of SPAM. I generally avoid things in cans, if I can avoid it, because cans don’t burn up at camp and you have to save them up and bring them to recycling center. But the thin is canned foods don’t have to be chilled and I was concerned that things wouldn’t stay cold. And truth be told, I thought the SPAM was pretty darn gross — and overpriced to boot. I don’t think I’ll be buying any more Shoulder Pork and Meat any time soon.
