Yeah, Spam got a bad name here because of soldiers during WW2, often that was all they had to eat so naturally when they got back home, Spam was a big NO NO around the homestead, your average GI never wanted to see it again, PERIOD! At least, that was the way it was around my house.
My mom on the other hand liked it, course she never had to eat it every day so every now n then she would smuggle in a couple cans, slice it, fry it and with eggs & toast, pretty good breaky but my dad? just the smell of it frying made him queasy.
