My family always had spam fondue for Christmas brunch. That way we could mix the white trash wonder, Spam, with an elite European sensibility. Which fits quite well with our family demographic (minus the European sensibilities). Perhaps the Danisupials could try this for a Christmas tradition as well.

So, just for the heck of it, I decided to feed this recipe (listed above) to my family the other day, without disclosing the contents.

Thoughts:

1. This little recipe actually turns out to be rather pricey, all told.

2. The casserole weighs about 15 lbs.

3. Spam Lite both smells and sounds not unlike dog food when it comes out of the can.

4. The husband cannot differentiate between spam and ham. Quote: "Wow, this is really good ham!!" (as he picks all the "ham" out of the casserole)

5. For a limited time only, if you send in five lids, you get a free 70th anniversary SPAM t-shirt. I'm not making that up.

6. The cans also explicitly state "70th anniversary edition." I sincerely hope it's the brand name that's turning 70 and not the actual contents of the can.

So, did you like it?

That's because you ate it with a closed mind. You knew what was in it and had your preconceived idea about how it would be.

Ms. Gordon, I just reported this unfortunate incident of child abuse to Child Protective Services for the state of Oklahoma. Expect a visit soon.

This is what Sushi lovers always tell me.

Sushi is a trendy fad. Every time I tell a new girl I meet that i don't like Sushi the response is always the same..."Oh well you just haven't tried it with me yet or been to the right place."

"Okay then let's go to the right place with you."

We do.

Sushi still sucks.

How dare you mention sushi in the same thread as spam casserole? Blashpemy.

My wife knows that I hate casseroles so we have a good time joking about them. Whenever we go to my MIL's house she cooks a casserole for us made of tater tots, hamburger, processed cheese, sour cream, cream of mushroom soup, etc. It is all I can do to gag it down but my wife keeps giving me that glare that says "you will pretend to like it and keep your mouth shut or you won't get any sex for a month." Yes, ma'am.

We found a casserole cookbook a while back and had a good time reading through it. My favorite entry was "Weenie Mix-up". I can't remember all of the ingredients, but it had chopped up hot dogs and two cups (not a typo) of ketchup. Yuummmmm....
