when I lived on Maui

there was a sugar cane plantation and grew other things also ( cant remember the name) but they had a kitchen for the workers a big one

they would usually make alot of extra for locals that was not working on the farm , you had to pay of course,they were done when they ran out and this was a lunch, just one item each day for the entree one scoop of white rice and one scoop of mariconi salad very cheap and quite good

Where did you get the idea that I don't like anything about Hawaii? I love all the islands I've been to as well as the beaches and people. The only thing I don't like is the costs at the major resorts (much cheaper in Mexico and usually more tropical). I even like Spam, as long as it isn't left over from WWII, even though it is a mystery meat. :lol::lol:

I've already finished all the spam I brought with me. Can I get spam singles in Baja? Turkey spam? Bacon spam? Jalapeño spam?

I'm starting to think I should just head back north to the SPAM museum in Minnesota and stock back up.

SpamFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Spam- (its name a portmanteau of the words "Spiced" and "Ham") is a canned precooked meat product made by the Hormel Foods Corporation, first introduced in 1937.
The labeled ingredients in the classic variety of Spam are chopped pork shoulder meat, with ham meat added, salt, water, modified potato starch as a binder, and sodium nitrite as a preservative.
Spam's gelatinous glaze, or aspic, forms from the cooling of meat stock.
The product has become part of many jokes and urban legends about mystery meat, which has made it part of pop culture and folklore. Through a Monty Python sketch, in which Spam is portrayed as ubiquitous and inescapable, its name has come to be given to electronic spam, including spam email.
