I'm hosting Easter Dinner but on a budget - do you think anyone will notice if I use Spam instead of Ham?!
Answers: It's the first time I've hosted a holiday and I'm already really nervous. however, i was hit with a bunch of bills (lawyer fees, dui fines, etc) so i'm kind of broke right now. but i do have 31 cans of Spam in the cupboard and I was thinking that if I molded the Spam into the shape of a ham and throw some brown sugar, honey and pineapple on it, maybe no one will notice? do you think anyone will notice?
I think that shaping the span into the shape of a bunny rabbit or a lamb would be a good idea. if you cover it in welfare cheese or ketchup then no one will care or know that it's spam.
also, get the guests high before dinner and they'll eat anything.
then during dinner serve them a lot of liquor and then they'll pass out and forget the whole thing.
It's a win-win situation because when they're passed out, you can search their wallets for money. Take a credit card and buy cool stuff online and have it shipped to your house.
Also, take someone's car to the chop shop and get some extra cash for it. when the owner wakes up and wonders where the car is, say "hey, I thought someone dropped you off here" and leave it at that.
Just don't feed any Garden Gnomes the Spam. it makes them horny and God forbid they get horny (and drunk). they're impossible to handle. Well, the ones I have in my yard are that way.
have a pleasant Easter!
*HUGS*
omg dont use spam
nasty.
everyone will notice...
if youre really that broke ask someone to help buy a real one, you are hosting so they can help you.
uuumm, I think anyone who has had ham before, would notice the diffrence.
Good luck!
omg...if you had the money to buy all that spam then you could have bought something that wouldn't kill you....lmao....have your friends over and have them all bring some food and have fun...that's what I would do, my friends would love it
Sorry, but I do think they will know the difference.
Holly ****!!! Look at how many people are answering you like you're serious!!! Good one!
Uh they will most certainly notice the difference. Depending on how many people are going to the dinner you can always go to the deli at your local grocery store and purchase thick slices of ham, honey ham, etc and cook it exactly how you planned on cooking the spam
You have got to be kidding.
Spam is one of my favorites!!! How can you do better than a meat product made from lips and a$$holes!!! Although, I prefer it with some BBQ sauce on top with some melted Velveeta cheese as a topper.
sure! You can use the same recipe when you make your Tofurkey for Thanksgiving too ..... Why don't you cover all those little cans with paint and pretend they're Easter eggs too! No need to waste anything:)
John, whoever he is, doesn't know anything about cooking Spam. I note that you are a person with good traits about saving. I respect that. I myself have many cans of GI rations I saved from my homeland.
I have planned to use my Spam in a creative way. I'm going to mold it into the shape of a bunny and with the left over pieces make little eggs to roast in the pan behind it. Be careful though. Some of your guests may think they are.....well...turds. Sprinkle a dash of oregano on them.
Bon apitite!!!
I actually like Spam far more then ham. Ham is chewy, and you actually have to use your teeth to eat it.
Spam will be great for everyone in your family, old and young, because you don't need teeth to eat it. If I were you I'd just throw the cans in a large pot of boiling water, and just hand them out once they're cooked. If you buy the generic brand, it already comes shaped like a ham.
Just use plenty of Frank's Hot Sauce.
I, personally, prefer Spam to ham. But that's just me.
I think that sounds lovely but what good is a meal involving spam if it's not chopped up and served in mac and cheese? I'm just sayin gotta have the white trash dish.
