Spam

I have just learnt something that I am not too sure I am altogether happy about. Spam (the sort you that clogs your arteries, not what clogs up your email) was first introduced into this country in 1941, which makes it the same vintage as myself.
I have memories of the product regularly being served up as greasy fritters together with equally greasy chips for our school dinners with mushy luminous green peas. Yummy! What amases me now is that it seems to be having a revival in this country with quite a big TV advertising campaign at the moment.
I have just found a Spam web site for its fans, but I just couldn't stomach delving too closely into the benefits of incorporating it into the diet. Does its revival have anything to do with increasing obesity in the western world. Perhaps it never really went away.
