One Thing You Have Gladly Lived Without And Never Wanted Again...

I don't like sweet potatoes or any type of squash
When I was much younger my mom always would put maple syrup or brown sugar in summer squash thinking it would taste better. I gagged as I was forced to eat it I never liked the taste of Spam either
This is a Spam story,in '06 when I and other church members were in D'Iberville,Miss to help with the cleanup after Hurricanes Katrina&Rita nearly destroyed this small gulf coast town.In the make shift warehouse where all the donated food was brought,I spent part of a morning with others separating many cans of Spam.We filled 3 big plastic containers.When the local residents came thru to get the food,the containers were empty within in 15 minutes,amazing Sue
 

Kidney stones. Had them once. That was enough.

The Happy Little Vegemite Song​
We are happy little Vegemites as bright as bright can be,​
We all enjoy our Vegemite for breakfast, lunch and tea,​
Our mummy says we’re growing stronger every single week,​
Because we love our Vegemite,​
We all adore our Vegemite,​
It puts a rose in every cheek!
​
It is made from leftover brewers’ yeast extract (a by-product of beer manufacture) and various vegetable and spice additives. It is very dark reddish-brown, almost black, in color, and one of the richest sources known of Vitamin B.

This does not sound very appetizing...

To me, vegemite tastes somewhat like dark Chinese soy sauce that has been left on a plate to dry out. It is not unpleasant to my palate, but I can only eat it spread very thinly on toast.

Holly I hope this isn't just about food, considering my answer! :playful: I never ate in the outhouse!
 
I say I have never eaten Spam, nor it's cousin, "Treet". As a child I could not stand fat, anything fatty/rubbery- funny I liked bacon tho'! There were a few times, when eating a hamburger, I stared at the bitten part and swore I saw those clear, rubbery fat specks and my throat would close.

Never thought about what was in a hot dog, not that I had them often; or Italian sausage, ham salad from the deli or a baloney sandwich with cheap yellow mustard. Now I do know what's in them and hypocrite that I am, I'll enjoy these now and then, but won't touch Spam!
 
HD, that canned Heinz mac & cheese you spoke of is only found here in the British food section of the International Food aisle in the supermarket, along with dusty cans of custards and wonderful marmalade and shortbread.
 
I've been doing a little research and I've found that Hawaii has both the highest per-cpita Spam consumption and also the highest life expectancy of all 50 states.

Therefore I have concluded that eating Spam must be the secret to longevity. So I bought a couple of cans this morning when I went grocery shopping. My New Years resolution this year will be to "eat more Spam".

At 180 calories per 2 ounce serving that gives you 1,080 calories in a 12 ounce can. 96 grams of fat, 42 grams of protein, and only 6 grams of carbs. That will work well with my low carb, high fat diet regimen. I'm thinking about maybe trying an " All Spam, all the time" weight loss diet. I could just eat two cans of Spam a day. That would be only 12 grams of carbs a day. Well within the Atkins 20 gram limit for induction. The only question is "Can man live on Spam alone?".

my mom use to make a cream sauce and use spam it was better than chipped beef--we use to put it over toast plus she would add peas and a hard boiled egg we all loved it
 
Ew. Spam. Blech. It was what we got more than enough of living in Hawaii during the war. Spam, powdered milk, powdered eggs. Thanks, but no! IIRC, we were allowed a quart of milk every day, and when that was gone it was either powdered milk or evaporated milk. Ever try to eat cereal with evaporated milk? Makes my stomach churn just thinking about it.

I can happily live the rest of my days without ever having to use a washboard again or a wringer washer, either.

Eating all that fat I bet you can just sit and listen to your arteries clog up.

Fat doesn't agree with me and causes violent upset of my GI system -- but then again, maybe I'd lose weight because if you can't keep any food in your system I guess you'd lose weight, no?
