Why are Hawaiians obsessed with SPAM?!
I tried it and it’s not bad but it’s not anything special!. How, why, and when did it become the favorite food “additive” of Hawaii!? Www@FoodAQ@Com

It is popular do to it was one of the only meats available in the islands during the Second World War, and was easy to keep needed no refrigeration, and was easy to transport, I had the famous Spam "Musubi" a snack prized by the younger generation, and it is also a quick meal during the heat of the islands climate!.
As the GI's were stationed there at Pearl Harbour and it was a quick easy meal for the servicemen/women as fresh meat was a premium during the war years in Hawaii!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
