When I lived on the big island, even McDonald’s had spam options on their menu.

When I lived there rice with fried spam eggs and shoyu was a staple. And also delicious.

Believe it or not, Hawaii actually does like SPAM! It goes back to the military presence on the islands during WWII where it gained cultural significance.

Non-Hawaiians just do not understand how to handle Spam

It’s great as a filler when used sparingly. Not so great when you just eat the whole cube straight from the can other than maybe the first time you try it.

The saltiness is why that little can feeds a whole family when you mix it with a lot of carbs and/or veggies and/or fruit.

The fact it’s on almost every menu at local establishments and fast food speaks volumes of its popularity in Hawaii.

Spam is just pork and ham mixed with some salt and sugar, I don’t see how that’s not “real food”, people all over the planet have eaten those things as food for thousands of years before someone had the audacity to …put it in a can for convenient distribution.
