Is it still around? maybe they have turned it in to cat or dog food. HA~

[BUSTED]

I don't know if it is still around. I don't go looking for it at the stores. I think the animals would like it better.

[Peaches]

We used to mix deviled ham with cream cheese and make wun tons! Sad, huh? It's still around like vienna sausage and spam.

[love my kids]

Would you guys feed that stuff to your kids? Here we are making fun of canned meat products and they will be the foods keeping us alive in a natural disaster. Spam and termites will live forever through anything.

[love my kids]

I was deathly afraid of the flying monkeys on the Wizard of Oz, and guess what? When my son was young he was afraid of the apes on the planet of the apes show, too funny! Fear of talking or flying moneys must be genetic.

[BUSTED]

I would rather have spam any time. Devils Ham can still go to the pets. And no I would not feed it to my kids. I still say YUK to it.

Deviled Ham is poor man's pate - made of parts (like tongue, brains, eyeballs, etc.) and pureed and spiced for popular consumption...

[BUSTED]

Now that's why I did not like it.

Poor man's pate! That is hilarious!
So gross what our Moms fed us. no wonder I didn't get in to Punahou.

My mom mixed deviled ham with eggs and made scrambled eggs for us. She stretched meals whenever she could.

Spam, vienna sausage, deviled ham, corned beef... all can be eaten out of the can... which reminds me that I need to put my disaster relief stuff together.

Weren't our moms terrific stretchers:

Canned corned beef and cabbage.
Canned sardines and round onions.
Hyotan (long squash)and a little chicken and green onions.
Green beans and little pork, shoyu and sugar.
Cabocha (pumpkin) and ebi (dried shrimp)and shoyu and sugar
Chicken hekka with a little chicken and plenty of green onions, round onions, takenoko (bamboo shoots) cooked in suyiyaki type sauce in which you put udon or other noodles.
Gobo - kimpira style
Loved our neighbor's stir fried goya (bittermelon)champuru with canned tuna and eggs.
Oxtail stew when oxtails used to be very cheap.
Pigs feet soup when pigs feet was very cheap.
Oama (baby weke)and moili'i (baby moi) fried whole

Never had a steak to myself until I was an adult.

tuna egg omelet with rice for dinner. My mom fried the tuna with onions then poured the scrambled eggs over to make the omelet. Good with rice and ketchup. Sometime she made canned corned beef and onion and sometimes with cabbage. Or canned sardines with tomato, green onion, round onion and shoyu. Mix it up, then eat with hot rice. And if had, eat 'em with poi. Yup, good stuff!
