It is good fried or baked with a glaze on it. Look it up on the web. You can get some info there. Its not bad, sliced thin on an egg sandwich.. It looks like chopped ham and tasts pretty much like that.
You should try it.

It tastes like Spam. Nothing else really tastes like it. Imagine salty meat covered in goo. Scrape the goo away, and slice the little loaf of meat. It sort of smells like dog or cat food.
It's not fake meat. All the life's been taken out of it though.

fresh milk : powdered milk + dirty water = regular meat : SPAM
dono wat its made of but its usually rectangular shaped and it just taste like salty chicken to me hehehe
SPAM is made much like hot dogs, they throw a bunch of leftover meat products in a grinder and out comes SPAM. I personally prefer it fried, it's salty, with rice, or in a spam musubi, where it's fried then wrapped in steamed white rice and nori (seaweed); you can also marinate it in shoyu/sugar, or teriyaki sauce before putting in the musubi. It is in fact REAL meat. Some people like it glazed, raw, or in various other ways. There's even a festival dedicated to spam, where contestants enter spam dishes.
SPAM has a bad rap, but mostly because it's cheap, just like anything else that doesn't cost you an arm and a leg. Fun Fact: Hawaii consumes more spam per capita than any other U.S, state, and in some cases, more than that of combined states.
