I just read the above to Lady Firestorm and she ran to the bathroom!
I’ve been trying to come up with something to add to the general gross-out contest going on but no luck so far. I’ll keep trying.
YouTube has a fine video of this funny song.

Dishes such as this or green bean caserole are familiar to those of us who occassionally dine in church halls or church basements (I prefer “undercroft,” which is very Episcopalian). Celery Jell-O is a new one to me.
I’ve often had the best lunches while eating the most indifferent food because it’s the company that really makes a meal enjoyable.
Yeah-But ya gotta remember to use creamy peanut butter, not the chunky stuff
Well if Forge didn’t exist you’d be right… After he got fired from Burger King in Tonawanda, NY for plasma arcing whopper patties. He built a time machine out of the garbage dumpster in the parking lot. Alpha Flight while on tour with Kool Moe Dee and The Doobie Brothers. Happened to stop at this BK and saw Forge in the back. They needed all the Adamantium for Weapon X… Forge sent them back to 1778 to secure all mineral rights… The land today is guarded by Gumby and Pokey through contract with AF via ownership of the newly unmerged Toronto Hamilton & Buffalo RR…
This entire thread is a lot of weapons-grade balonium.
Yeah, but it’s fun - and even a few things that some people didn’t know!
BUT! What do we “KNOW” and how much is typical internet stupidity?
I knew an immigrant from Sweden who found the American custom of serving sweetened aspic (aka Jell-o) as odd if not slightly disgusting.
To relate to his point-of-view, what would people here think of chocolate-flavored Spam?
Nordics don’t have much room to talk about disgusting.
Lutefisk is dried whitefish. It is made from aged stockfish, or dried and salted cod, pickled in lye. It is gelatinous in texture after being rehydrated for days prior to eating. Lutefisk is prepared as a seafood dish of several Nordic countries
“Chocolate Spam”… WOW! Hey – send them a note suggesting it! They just might take you up on it!
Oh great, now I have to run to the bathroom! [+o(]
I’ll be back later…
My father had to eat so much SPAM in the army during WWII that he would not allow SPAM, deviled ham, potted meat, or bologna in the house when I was growing up. I had never eaten SPAM or deviled ham until I was grown and out on my own. I like deviled ham and bologna, but one dose of SPAM was enough to let me understand why my father loathed it. My father was on the north shore of Oahu for 10 months while in the army; pineapple was dirt cheap, so it was offered at every meal. I never saw him eat pineapple, but he would allow it in the house.
Same thing with Baptist churches down south. In addition to regular Jello with various fruit and stuff floating in it, Jello is an ingredient in congealed salads, which is basically green or orange or pink glop with a bunch of unidentified stuff in it. CShave’s Lime Jell-O Marshmallow Cottage Cheese Surprise sounds very much like what I know as congealed salad.
Would you like your balonium fried? With mustard or mayo?
Tobasco
A LOT of GI’s came home from WW2 hating SPAM. The crazy thing is, they LOVE it in Hawaii! Saw a show on The Food Network several years ago about it, SPAM came to Hawaii during the war and never left!
I tried it years ago. Not bad. Not great, but not bad. I could live on it but I wouldn’t go looking for it.
How’d your dad feel about SOS? [;)]
OK, looks like we have several lines going on food.
Spam: When I was a kid, I loved fried Spam and cheese sandwiches. On a whim, many years later, I decided to try it again. I found it disgusting!
Army food: When I got out of the army, I wouldn’t eat a potato for the first year or two. My father was from Honduras and my mother from Louisiana so we mostly had rice and only occasionally potatoes. I came out of the army with potato shock!
Edit: And Flintlock, about SOS–never could stand even the sight of it.
My grandma would have been proud to serve that. Her most common Jello creations had cottage cheese and/or coleslaw in them. Her all-time winner (or loser) creation was Jello with oyster crackers! [xx(]
If you ever have a chance to be in Austin, Minnesota, please go to the SPAM museum. Well worth the time to see their displays. They have even have a section celebrating the Monty Python skits!
Then go to the gift shop… lots of stuff with a SPAM motif. Golf tees/balls/club covers/etc., letter openers, mugs, plates, oven mitts and other kitchenware, matchbooks, keyrings/fobs, clothing (Tee-shirts/caps/baby outfits/etc.), games/etc. … you name it, they probably have it.
And they sell every type of SPAM they make, even flavors that are seldom sold in the U.S.
They even have refrigerator magnets of various sorts in the silhouette of the SPAM can. I put the flat ones on my car and people STEAL them! I lost several before I figured out it was not that they were blowing off. I saw someone take one. I then aimed my dashcam out the window over where I put the magnet and this is the result: https://vimeo.com/102687249
Personally, I like the Cheddar Cheese, Turkey SPAM, and Bacon styles.
Slice it thin and into small squares and serve it on Ritz (“Hint of Salt” style) Crackers. Yums!
