It’s time to get your SPAM™ cooking hats on!

What was I saying about enterprising people from Solihull. I've now found out that the SPAM® Cook Of The Year Midlands and Anglia regional finalist 2008 was Gerardine Sykes from Solihull who came up with a SPAM® and Vegetable Parcel recipe.

I must confess I've not had SPAM® for a long time. It was much favoured by the school cooks I seem to remember. I've had it in batter at a fish & chip shop, but our local one isn't in to that sort of thing. I will certainly try Gerardine's recipe.

Monty Python had a thing about SPAM®. It put the product right in the forefront of the public's imagination. The fact that it is still going strong must be some testament to the endurance of brand image. It has sold over six billion cans and is over 70 years old. With SPAM® you are either a fan or not, it seems. And the fans make good use of it. Apparently it is very popular in Hawaii. I wonder if Barack Obama is a fan of SPAM®?
