I guess the Spam Musubi was invented in the
late 80's?

I'm sure if I moved to Idaho (no cut on Idaho,
I drove through-lovely). I'd miss the occasional
bopping into a Hawaii's McDonalds and ordering a Spam & Eggs for breakfast.

Correction: Invented prior to the 80's.

What year was the Who Shoot Jr Dallas show?? Didn’t it get announced at a UH game or something and the crowd went wild?

I have to admit I agree w/ you---Spam & Eggs---a "guilty" pleasure--NOT!

Spam sandwiches are good too!

Anyone else with a favorite Spam memory????

It was a treat to have luncheon meat, chorizo sausages, and goteberg sausages (papale sausage as my uncle called it).

Spam and vienna sausages with musubis wrapped with nori w/ umoboshi inside, together with rolled up scrambled egg sliced in pieces... that was the best homemade bento. Add a can of soda that was frozen and wrapped with tin foil.

Oh, this post belongs in the 50s and 60s thread too.

There is something understated about locals
and their attachment to the Pacific Ocean
(Hawaii waters) and local cuisine. I didn't realize
it until I lived away on the mainland for several years. Eventually( stomach in auto-pilot), I
experimented with different kinds of Polish
sausage and the closest I came to Portuguese
sausage was a label "Slotkowski (Polish sausage)."

Fo' all you homesick mainland buggahs out there:

"SLOTKOWSKI" will get you through.
