I saw this program on my FAVORITE channel of-all-time about the origins of SPAM. It's pork shoulder bits. The guy who made it was an upscale bussinessman who held a contest at a High Society party he was throwing and a good friend of his called it Shoulder-Pork Ham hence; SPAM.
During WWII meat was at a premium especially in the British Isles so spam was sent there to help them out. In fact, so much spam was consumed by the Brits that many GI's called England "Spamland".
Spam was only supposed to be temporary but it amazingly caught on in the US after the war. I ate spam as a kid and I hated it, maybe I'll try it again for the first time.
