 pretty close to spam but with less fat and sodiumAug 31, 2010

I've been a fan of spam since I was a kid and I usually avoid the "diet" or "low fat" variety of most foods. But, I figure I might as well give Spam Lite a try. It tastes almost the same to me. I don't think I'd be able to tell the difference in a blind taste test. That is why i give it 5 stars. I will be buying spam lite in the future.
I usually just fry it in a pan and eat it with rice and eggs in the morning. Throw on some hot sauce and thats all you need to get going in the day.

can't live without it!Jul 19, 2010
By T. Kumor
I eat two slices with egg beaters every morning for breakfast. Sometimes I have it for dinner with veggies and a baked potato. There are no carbs in it so it is good for the Atkins diet.

Light is all right with me!Aug 12, 2009

I just tried this lite SPAM this morning for breakfast. Just sliced it up and browned it in a pan and it wasn't bad at all! In fact, it wasn't that "lite" to me, having never had orignal spam. It was more than meaty and greasy enough to get me out the door and to work and not think about food for many hours. Thanks SPAM lite!

 SPAM Lite, 12-Ounce Cans (Pack of 6)Jul 29, 2009
By Starrphyre
What in the world can be said about Spam? Lite is best without so much grease. When camping on a mountain, I came up with this idea: I slice it, brown it in a skillet, and dump a can of baked beans on top of it and heat. Served with slaw and cornbread, makes a real "down home" and satisfying meal. Tasty and easy!

I must admit it is delicious... Great for camping!Aug 05, 2011
By East Coast Reader
I hadn't had Spam since I was a kid - at least 25 years. My mother had lived in Hawaii, where it is a very common food (even in restaurants) and used to feed it to us on occasion. I remember liking it in the same way I enjoy fried ham and bacon.
Still, as an adult, the idea of most canned meat just revolted me, not to mention the fact that within most of the US culture Spam is associated with poverty. I recently got the idea to buy some when we were about to go camping in a remote location with no electricity or running water. I didn't want to only eat peanut butter sandwiches and cup o' noodles - I wanted something heartier, and canned foods are the way to go! While camping, I made a "spam hash" - spam cut into tiny pieces and cooked in olive oil along with some canned diced potatoes. On a cold morning, along with some coffee, it really hit the spot.
I now keep a few cans in my cupboard, and eat it at home at times. I think the key for people who don't like Spam, or who are trying it for the first time, is to cut it into thin slices and fry it until crispy. The texture of uncooked Spam is somewhat spongy and paste-like at the same time. This can turn a lot of people off. If you fry thick slices, the slices will still remain quite soft, even if the outside is crispy. The uninitiated (as well as many of the initiated) would probably love Spam if it were cooked until crispy all the way through - hence the need for thin slices. You end up with something hearty and delicious, like thick bacon. With a fried egg, or some hashbrowns, it makes a delicious breakfast.
I'm not advocating consumption of Spam on a regular basis. Even the lite version is relatively high in fat and sodium. But, that's no different from bacon, another item to be enjoyed on occasion but not every day.
If you genuinely don't like Spam, that's fine. Not everyone likes every food. But if you put it down because everyone thinks it's for "poor people," then I suggest that you stop caring so much what other people think, and eat it if you will enjoy it. The number of people who will eat any number of other processed foods but will disparage Spam is high.
