When I recently posted a meal with spam in it on instagram I received a lot of comments that Coles and Woolworths had cans of spam on special. As part of my Saturday routine grocery shopping I went for a look in the tinned meat aisle and found what I was looking for for my shelf of shame.
Annie and Lloyd are cooking tonight on MKR. The colour of the cooked hot and spicy spam reminds me of Annie’s blush.
I’ve only ever purchased the regular spam and never any of the fancy varieties. When I say fancy varieties I think in Australia there is only low sodium, hot and spicy and bacon spam.
So tonight I had a salmon fillet and I thought rather than fried rice I’d do spam and quinoa along with a refreshing salad.

I never knew Spam could be so exotic – nothing like that in the Blighted Isle – just bog-standard Spam.
My next project is using the bacon spam. It’ll feature at breakfast I think 🙂
Hehe I thought that you were going to say that they cooked with it on MKR! 😛
I reckon after watching Annie and Lloyd struggle last night with their dishes, maybe hot and spicy spam would have added more kick to their curried beef cheek 🙂
Wouldn’t it be great if MKR and Master Chef did spam challenges like Top Chef in the US did when they went to Hawaii?
