Yes, Spam has chewy bits in it. I was always grossed out by Spam because I've never been a fan of pork or ham, but it was a cheap protein back in the day, and my mom used to fry it up and serve it with eggs for breakfast.
Most of our meals growing up were not junk, either, but Spam was a cheap way to get some protein, and I think my mom was trying to save a few bucks.
I remember my mom tried Hamburger Helper once, and we all hated it, so we never had it again, lol. I also remember having sweet treats maybe once a week. My mom would bake something on the weekends, and that's when we ate it. We didn't have nightly snacks the way people have them now.
Our "cheap" meal was beef and gravy over rice and we thought it was the best food ever. It was actually cooked beef that came in a huge can. My uncle got it free...don't ask how because it was never discussed lol. It smelled like dog food, to be honest but after they doctored it up we just loved it, lol.Most of our meals growing up were not junk, either, but Spam was a cheap way to get some protein, and I think my mom was trying to save a few bucks.
Elbow macaroni stretched out the cheap meals in my family, and I will always hate the regular smooth sided elbows, as well as ground beef
The only way I could ever enjoy spam was fried in batter so that must be very tasty.
It is. They do the best chips there too. They have vegan fish and burgers on the menu, but the spam is the best.

And I have another can too. Maybe I'll pack a bag of groceries for the food pantry. You never know if they have someone who might be vegetarian/vegan.
