Originally the pork shoulder wasn't a big seller. Rather than let them go to waste they started using them with other pork to make what is now known as spam.
Pork Shoulder and Ham, potato starch and spices. The low fat and salt variety isn't bad if you cut it in thin slices and heat it in a fry pan until it is hot and sort of crispy. I only like it that way. Of course you would have some cooked vegetables with it and maybe some fried potatoes.
Embedded in the stories of World War II is the legend of Spam, the manufactured ham substitute put out by the Hormel Co. in Minnesota. Spam was a wartime triumph, but the legend is mostly wrong. Several months ago, Hormel celebrated the production of the 5 billionth can of Spam and tried again to explain that the stuff was not included in G.I. rations or fired, as cartoonists claimed, at the enemy or dropped from planes to neutralize hostile populations. Spam -- 15 million cans a week -- went to feed the British and the Russians through lend-lease, the $50 billion aid program the U.S. began in 1941 to keep its friends supplied.
British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher recalled "feasting" on Spam as a girl in the war years. Soviet boss Nikita Khrushchev claimed, "Without Spam, we wouldn't have been able to feed our army."

The song "The Wrong N*gga To F*ck Wit'" made Ice Cube a legend.

Pork "by products". NOTHING on a pig- is wasted. And it's not so disgusting- when you realise that most Hotdogs are made of pretty much the SAME stuff. So be CAREFULL what you ask about...- You may not REALLY want to know! :)

SPAM stands for spiced ham.
So along with ham there is spices in it. And I agree, YUK!

It is made of beef and beef by products.
Personally, i think it is made from whatever they sweep off the floor.
