One would think that a Spam Lettuce and Tomato sandwich on Toast with Mayo would be a makeshift effort resulting from not having any bacon on hand. One would be wrong.The Navy eats a lot of Spam, or at least the Submarine Service did circa 1960, and it is fashionable to say with raised eyebrows, "Oh I hate Spam because I got tired of eating it in the..." Whatever. I never got tired of it, which made my shipmates regard me as something of a freak. I would respond to the effect that they were unsophisticated clods with uneducated palates, which sometimes led to lively discussions at mealtimes.
What can I say? I like still Spam right out of the can or fried up nice and crisp, preferably in bacon drippings.
This was my lunch today, and it was awesome.
that does look awesome. Fried nice and crispy is yum yum yum.
ReplyDeleteNever did care too much for S.O.S., but I usually regarded it as just something to eat. When it was given to me. Not sure if I ever really made it for myself.
Mom made fried eggs sands and bologna sands as dinner. I don;t think we ever complained. Maybe we were just good kids?
hahahahaha. yeah right.
But I thought you didn't like fresh tomatoes......
ReplyDeleteWe WERE good kids, which included telling the truth, even about her cooking. Fortunately, she was a good cook, and we weren't picky eaters.
ReplyDeleteAs to fried bologna sandwiches, I still like them. And I was looking for (and not finding) bread just last night so I could make myself a fried egg sandwich!
