In November, I bought this "Luncheon Meat" at the small Korean Market in Bangladesh. I was hoping that it would be SPAM since I couldn't read Korean. I mean, the can LOOKS like it should be SPAM, right? The color and style of the can seemed very similar to the familiar can of SPAM.
Out of the can - it looked like I made the right decision. It fried up nicely, like SPAM.
Doesn't this look good?
WRONG!!! I was soooo soooooo WRONG!!!This was so NOT SPAM!!
This Luncheon Meat stuff was made by www.lottehammilk.co.kr
I should have read that on the can right off.
How can anything made by Lotte Ham Milk be any good??!! =p
The texture just was not right - it was sort of soft and mushy. And taste was absolutely wrong! It was too salty. It felt like I was eating deviled ham!
Thank goodness I had this SPAM Single pack stashed in my luggage. A very kind friend got this as some food fair and was sweet enough to gift it to me. It was a life saver when I had a craving for my SPAM!!
I know you're thinking - how can you be a foodie and like SPAM of all things? If you are a SPAM junkie like me, then you know. There's no explanation needed. For those of you who don't understand...just know this...I'm an equal opportunity eater. =) I'm no snoot when it comes to food! If it tastes good, then I'm all for it!!
