I have to admit, when growing up I would willingly partake in canned meat consumption. The big three were potted meat, Vienna sausages and of course spam. I enjoyed eating all three, but my favorite was spam because of its versatility. You can eat it cold, hot, fried, in soups, stews, sandwiches and sushi. When
