I grew up eating fried eggs and spam. I dont despise it, but I'd rather eat something else instead.
I have memories from my childhood when once in a blue moon an older sibling would fry up some spam and we make a sandwich with that and cheese and I thought it was delicious. I've tried to recreate that memory a couple times in the last 30 years and it has not been the same. Recently I tried feeding it to my kids and they thought it was pretty gross. I'm sure they grind up more hair and hide in it than they used to cuz that is what it smells and tastes like now.

Just as an aside, pre-covid when I used to visit heritage pork producers to buy pasture raised pork bellies, and butt roasts for making bacon and capicola, I'd ask them for small cut off portions they'd usually grind for sausages, and I'd add that to my own trimmings to make my own canned ham and spam substitutes. Way better when you're in control of the salt, nitrates, and seasonings.
