What is in the canned meat SPAM?!
Answers: I will never ever ever ever ever under any circumstances eat it, but I'm totally wondering.
Spam may be the butt of many jokes, but there's no mystery about where the meat comes from. It's all pork shoulder and ham. Ham comes from the pig's hind legs and rear end. A relatively large amount of salt is added for flavor and to preserve the meat, along with some sugar for flavoring. The only other ingredients are water and a small amount of sodium nitrite, a chemical used to preserve color and prevent the growth of bacteria, specifically Clostridium botulinum, which causes botulism.
HHUUUMMMM, doesn't sound bad really! I thought it had intestines & organ meat. I like it fried with bar-b-q sauce.
Ingredients:

It is made from pork and it's delicious. Made & distributed in the US.
Why would you say you would never eat it. Obviously you have never tried it but I would hazzard a guess to say you eat hot dogs and hamburgers.
