Hey, you can say what you want about Spam but I had a couple of cans of the stuff and a couple dozen eggs and a bag of potatoes all packed in my car the night Ivan hit FWB along with my very rare
3 burner Coleman camp stove (The old style now, mind you)!! I stayed with about 4 families in my buddy's print shop in Shalimar and the next morning I had a full blown breakfast going out on the covered sidewalk and they all loved it!! All the power was out but we had hot coffee, spam, home fries, and eggs any way you wanted them!! The cops out on Rt. 85 were wet and cold directing traffic around the Shalimar bridge because of some power lines and stray boats blocking the roadway and we took them each a hot cup of coffee too!! Man, you would have thought we gave them a Ruth Criss steak the way they smiled and thanked us!!
I used to take Spam on camping trips all the time and I would slice it very thin, fry it until it just turned dark brown almost black andas crispy as well done bacon and you can't hardly find a better meat on a cold morning in front of a roaring campfire!!
