The only thing mo betta than Spam is Portuguese Sausage Spam!!!

I'm going to have to look for that and try it. I can't get my wife to eat Spam now. I think it reminds her too much of the early years in our marriage when we had absolutely nothing and we would regularly eat a meal of fried Spam, onions and potatoes. I thought it was delicious!

You may want to go to Spam.com and check it out. Spam (the canned meat, not the email kind), comes in a wide assortment of varieties now. I counted 20.

Same here, except is was my Cantonese Mom who made Spam Fried rice for us as a special lunch. Did not know growing up in San Francisco that there was an Asian, Pacific Islander, Northwest, Minnesota connection.

Growing up in Honolulu my mom would make spam fried rice quite often on the weekends for breakfast. I do the same :) whenever I have leftover rice. I haven't tried the portguese sausage spam. Didn't like the teriyaki spam. When in Hawaii, DH loves real portugese sausage and eggs. I just showed my son last week how to make fried spam with maple syrup glaze, which my brother taught me years ago when I was a teen :) Eat it with rice, of course!

I am LOVING all these comments about your experiences in Hawaii...especially Kauai, as we spent two glorious weeks there last summer, and had the time of our lives. We would return there in a heartbeat. There's nothing like the lush greenery, frequent rainfall, beautiful sunrise/sunset, and the array of outdoor activities. The oceanfront timeshare didn't hurt either. ;-)

Every year I sneak some P. Sausage into the cart when the wife isn't looking.... Love that stuff with eggs for breakfast. Boy does it make some wicked pan grease.

We just returned from Kauai this past weekend. I couldn't believe all the different kinds of Spam at the one grocery store (I think it was Foodland).

That's where I bought the Portuguese Sausage SPAM I sent to my friends in Virginia.

Yes, the can survived, and we mailed it off to my friends. They were thrilled! Of course, I had to fill the box with other Hawaii-themed goodies, like a big bag of honey-glazed macadamia nuts, a bag of those School Kine Cookies from Costco, fake leis, Your-Name-In-Hawaiian keychains, I Love Hawaii post-it notes, Hawaii map drink coasters, a current copy of HAWAII magazine, some shell leis, and a ballpoint pen that says ALOHA HAWAII on the side. It was a trinket and trashy souvenir treasure load, all shipped in a flat-rate box at the post office. Didn't cost me much, and they loved every bit of it! :)

And it's not just about the Spam. Don't forget all of the Spam-flavored things in life. Unfortunately I tried these, and it did not remind me of Spam...

Remember if you don't have room in your luggage there is always USPS and if it fits it ships.

That's exactly what I did. The same way we also sent my sister a really nice Hawaiian-print dress from Maui, as a Thank You for house sitting for us while we were gone. I have wonderful family and friends, and I enjoy doing nice things for them, especially when they don't expect it. :)

I was surprised how much Spam flavored mac nuts really do taste like Spam. I do like Spam, but I don't think I'll buy the nuts again.

I haven’t seen that. Not sure I’d want to. :)

Sounds like a good way to ruin mac nuts. :p

We are here now and found the Sugarloaf Pineapple. Signs on the side of the road advertising them at various stands plus at the smoothie truck in Hanalei.
