Spam

Sometimes a woman has to hold her hands up and admit she was wrong about something. In this case I was wrong about Spam. For in my head was a hefty prejudice for this food that has now become a regular in my cupboard, associated with the war when real meat was scarce and people were short of cash. I am however, willing to try anything once. On the recommendation of a friend I bit the bullet, bought a can of spam and fried it up. YUM!!

That is all I have to say really, if you can get over the slightly weird dog food look of spam and fry it really thin and crispy then you are on to a winner. It has actually become my quick dinner of choice, mainly because I can't figure out how to make an omelette properly on the new sodding cooker.

You will need

1 can of spam (Spam lite has lower carbs, which is the nutritional info I'm quoting)
1 very sharp knife
1 chopping board
Eggs if you wish to have fried eggs.
Some cheese for sprinkling.
A bit of mayo for dipping

1. Slice the spam into tiny tiny slices, probably 1 mm thick, as thin as you can get them!
2. Fry the slices in a pan (no extra oil needed), until crispy. Turn them over a few times.
3. Fry two eggs in the left over fat.
4. Grate a bit of cheese over the spam.
5. Spoon out some mayo and enjoy!
