Perhaps it's just my family and friends, but whenever we go out on any sort of outdoor activity like fishing, hunting and camping, Spam comes with us. It's the only time we eat the dreaded canned meat, but eat it we do. It's a tradition, and one I'm curious if others here have. Which leads me to ask, does anyone here have any camp spam recipes? Because ours are always simple. Usually just cooked on a frying pan with whatever we decide to throw in.
Camp cooking, spam

I hate to admit it but Spam was a regular part of the grocery list at our camp as were the hotdogs, bologna, bacon, ham and sausage. Then we had the upper class steak and pork chop meal plans but those were Saturday night, Sunday noon specialties. Spam fried in pepper and a bit of oil in a cast iron frypan accompanied by crispy fried potato slices with onion and mushrooms, toss in a can of corn and give er' Takes minimal preptime and culinary skillz an regardless of the nutritional value sure hits the spot. MMMMmmmm Spam and a cold Bud!

I cook it just like that. Great over a fire with a few eggs, add some bannock on the side, it does not get better than that. OK, I lied, it does get better but it is a pretty damn good camp breakfast
The hunting camp fare is some of the best of the year for us - lobsters, 2" thick rib steaks, spare ribs, etc. We spoil ourselves.
The only time I've had Spam was by accident in Hawaii. They love the stuff and make sushi with it instead of fish. FAAAAHH! WTF?! Fresh ahi caught daily and you stick canned meat in your sushi?

somebody has MONEY- have you priced the canned corned beef LATELY- compare oz to dollars- i get the walmart holiday stuff which isn't the same as the real spam by hornel( which is what we got when i was serving) but i camp on the cheap- and stews by puritan
i should see if i can't find that video where a OPENED can of spam is left on the picnic table, a BEAR comes up, sniffs it, and wanders off

Spam & eggs for breakfast, in a sandwich for lunch, spam with a little brown sugar on it and beans for supper. Pretty versatile camp food. I always prefered Spork over spam, but I don't think they make it anymore.
Another standby used to be Tulip brand canned bacon. Really good, sweet bacon, but I don't think it's imported from Holland anymore. Safeway used to carry it.
Sorta like those canned stews. Wouldn't want it everyday, but it's versatile, quick, and it keeps.

When we were teenagers, we used to do the same thing with dog food and serve it up at parties. You couldn't tell the difference between that and the pig shi.... er... I mean Klik

Seriously though, I can't remember the last time we had spam. Maybe years ago, when just two of us hunted from a tent.
Now, we have prepared meals.
