What Is Spam?
Made by Hormel Foods, Spam was introduced in 1937 as a way to increase the sales of pork shoulders. Then a few years later when World War II began and delivering fresh meat to the frontline proved to be a challenge, Spam became a staple item in the American soldier's diet. In total, over 150 million pounds of Spam were purchased by the US military before the war ended.
Today there are over 20 different varieties of the food brand with flavors such as Spam Teriyaki, Spam with bacon, and Spam hot and spicy.
This limited-edition Spam features a blend of seasonal spices and was first introduced on Spam.com in limited quantity. The pumpkin spice product goes great with savory waffles drenched in maple syrup or with a side of cornbread.
Pumpkin Spice Spam is The Meat Product You Never Knew You Needed
Pumpkin Spice Spam takes center stage with its characteristic savory Spam flavor and a hint of sweetness from nutmeg, allspice, and clove. Some lucky tasters have already gotten the chance to taste the new Spam flavor and the general consensus is that it tastes pretty good! One taster commented that it tastes like breakfast sausage with sweet pumpkin spice.
Use this new Spam to make yourself a hearty breakfast sandwich or charge up your pumpkin spice game by serving up a fall vegetable hash alongside your PSL or coffee doctored up with pumpkin spice coffee creamer. We suggest cooking it on the stovetop and using it in your Sunday brunch frittatas to add a porky spam flavor with a hint of spice to your eggs.
