Spam as a long storage meat

[Bullzaye]

I just noted a canned ham at Aldi's today. I looked for the expiration date...it was 5 years from now! I think it was "Brookdale". I never noticed it there before, so I suspect it may be a "special purchase", or perhaps a seasonal item.

All I remember as a kid is spam, pork chops and cooked spinach for dinner and I couldn’t leave the table until I was done. I still don’t like fried chops it but they are bomb on the grill or smoker.

I guess I'm just getting old. I thought bombs were bad for people.

Dollar General usually has the regular cans of Bristol ham and less often the Bristol Hickory Smoke ham. Its a little more salty than their regular ham but has a stronger smoke flavor. They also sell 12 oz cans of Clover Valley roast beef with gravy. Has more gravy than I would like but definitely more quantity and quality beef than any can of Great Value beef I've ever opened for a comparable price. Big Lots has Ox & Palm corned beef which I liked and it's the only corned beef I've found locally not from Brazil (Australia) if you're concerned about the mad cow disease outbreak reported in Brazil.
