I have a hangover. I bought these little single slices of spam in a CVS on a trip to the US recently. You also need to get Pam imported from the states as you can’t buy it here. There were also frozen hashbrown triangles baking in the oven at the time of this photo, and a slice of sourdough bread in the toaster.

    A lot of Asian markets, at least around me, carry kind of a lot of spam and spam-like products (often called something like “luncheon meat”)

    I think a lot of it has to do with the US military having a big presence in Asia during WWII, Korea, Vietnam, etc. and still having sizable bases in Japan and Korea. They brought spam with them and it made its way into the local diet from there.

    It’s big in a lot of Pacific islands for basically that same reason.
