Well, since I like cheddar, it certainly would be a 'cheesy' one......
Ok, you do that, and I will make it into a Kosher Spam Quiche for you. :^P
I'm not going to try it, YOU try.....
Sorry the "????" in the Hebrew part was the Hebrew characters, the ICHC message software doesn't support fonts of that type (or Cyrillic, Hangul, Japanese, etc.)
You got me wondering (Uh-oh), so I did some research, this may surprise you, but some facts from several Spam trivia sites: "In the United Kingdom spam is often sliced, battered and deep-fried becoming known as 'spam fritters', and is still a popular way of eating Spam today. It gained popularity in the 1940s during World War II, as a consequence of the Lend-Lease Act when Hormel began to increase production towards British and Russian markets. After World War II, Newforge Foods, part of the Fitch Lovell group, were awarded the license to produce the product in the UK (doing so at its Gateacre factory, Liverpool), where it stayed until production switched to the Danish Crown Group (owners of the Tulip Food Company) in 1998, forcing the closure of the Liverpool factory and the loss of 140 jobs. By the early 1970s the name Spam was often misused to describe any tinned meat product containing pork, such as pork luncheon meat. The image of Spam as a low cost meat product gave rise to the Scottish colloquial term "Spam valley" to describe certain affluent housing areas where residents appear to be wealthy but in reality may be living at poverty levels. In Israel, a kosher variant of Spam, known as Loof (Hebrew: ????, distortion of meatloaf), was produced by Richard Levi, and mostly used as part of field rations by the Israeli Defense Forces. A Glatt kosher version was also produced." Face it hon, it's in a lot of places, but it doesn't mean ya have to buy it or eat it, right? ;^) Here's the real scary part: "Guam, Hawaii, and Saipan, the CNMI's principal island, have the only McDonald's restaurants that feature Spam on the menu. In Hawaii, Burger King began serving Spam in 2007 on its menu to compete with the local McDonald's chains. In Hawaii, Spam is so popular it is sometimes dubbed "The Hawaiian Steak" "
Yep, I fully agree, I can't stand it! I have some friends in the Philippines that LOVE it, oh well, to each their own, I guess part of it is in the context of the culture and what is available by comparison for ease of storage and/or preparation........
Re: Your Spam comment - Not true about only Americans eating it, it is sold in 41+ countries on 6 continents, and trademarked in over 100. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spam_%28food%29

There is just little scattered bits here and there, and the roads were icy last night, everything was 'dry' for the most part today. there is some thin snow layers on roofs of some of the houses and buildings, and that's about it.
We got a 'dusting' of snow, no more than an inch in my neighborhood.
