("Cook the daylights out of it" was the cornerstone of most of my mom's recipes). Euww. I feel a gag reflex just thinking about it. Fortunately, this was a once-only experiment which even my mom agreed "didn't turn out so well." It lives on only in reflexive laughs from my brothers and I at the mere mention of it.

LOL!

I was lucky. My dad was a Marine during World War II in the South Pacific. The Marines served lots of Spam on those lovely South Pacific Islands, and after the war dad refused to allow anyone to bring Spam into the house! That was one of those forbidden topics. Remember Spam is a four letter word!

Have you ever seen the Monte Python Spam routine? Funny!

As for the entrails of any animal, no thank you! Gag!
