Any single prepper is going to prep for women like this. She can live off those fat stores for a year while providing endless entertainment in the bunker.
Diffusion motherfucker.
High salt concentration in spam diffuses into the low concentration of water. Boiling raises water temperature, greatly increasing it's ability to absorb salt which in turn speeds up the process.
Think a little harder before insulting the intelligence of others lest you once again look like a smooth brained troglodyte.
Used to do this, but with not that much cheese and with some finely diced veggjes added for those vitamins and minerals. Leeks, bell peppers, single hot pepper, shallots, freshly picked herbs, etc.
>mfw PrepHole has better food threads than PrepHole
Checked, and that's how I do it. Add in some vegetables like broccoli carrots and onion is really good too. Similar prep with spam is good for an easy stir-fry with vegatables and fried rice.
Bagel with plain cream cheese, sprinkle some dill on it and thin slice of spam unfried is pretty good too, I've done that if I had any smoked salmon. Sandwich on hawaiian rolls with a good mustard, fried slice of onion and yellow bell pepper, and a white cheese is great too. Can't eat Spam all the time but it's a versatile protein and is shelf stable for a long time, very much worth the price to get a case of it occassionally for the cupboard.
>like the taste of canned meat on bread >read on PrepHole that no no no I'm doing it wrong I need to cook it >cook it >its fucking disgusting now
Why are americans like that
It's good either way, depends on what you're using it for and what you're adding it to. Sometimes frying it to get some crust rounds out the flavor or get a texture, sometimes you just want the cured canned meat softness in a slice.

It's either because co/ck/gobblers just have blown out taste buds or there is something about the spam, deenz, sprats appreciation.
Sweat more or get low-sodium Spam. Treet's better for eating straight from the can. Dice either up and boil it when making macaroni and cheese or rice, then add scrambled eggs.
Those videos were real, it was more of a case that China was cracking down hard that scared the rest of us. The bags of cats and dogs tied up and allowed to suffocate and bake on the sidewalk was also very real. They also erected thousands of impromptu hospitals because they were so swamped
That's true too, it was a wild first few months hoarding food incase it was that bad. I personally chalk it up to how common antibiotic abuse is in China where even strep throat is treated with loads of pills. They probably just have shit immune systems from that
The same exact thing happened with SARS. And swine flu. And several other diseases. A lot of people died in China, and then when it hit the West, it was a mild-moderate cold. Chalk it up to nutrition, antibiotic abuse, pollution, whichever combination you like. It's definitely not genetic or anything like that no matter how much some folks would like for it to be, because the effects on immigrants were no worse than on Western populations.

As an occasional Spam enjoyer, I have to say the best kinds are bacon and Less Sodium. Bacon Spam doesn't even change the taste that much (if at all) but it smells fucking great while you're frying it up and that's a nice bit of morale, and Less Sodium is just Spam but a little less salty so you can taste more of whatever you might be mixing it with. Note I said Less Sodium, not Lite. Spam Lite is cat food. Do not eat it.
>with hash or without.
Without. I kind of like corned beef sliced and fried on rice. Either that or broken up with eggs.
That's true too, it was a wild first few months hoarding food incase it was that bad. I personally chalk it up to how common antibiotic abuse is in China where even strep throat is treated with loads of pills. They probably just have shit immune systems from that
Well it's also a widespread use of TCM. They tried to sell herbal pills as a cure for Covid and everything. The adverts are pretty good comedy:

Is corned beef acceptable?
>I pass on novelty flavors.
Your loss. Tocino, longanisa, bacon, teriyaki, jalapeno and (surprisingly) low-sodium are all fantastic. Maple, turkey, lite, hickory and hot and Hispanicy are ass and garlic, cheese, black pepper and chorizo are okay.
Watch out, they’ll get uppity and will post Kraft singles or cheez wiz that by our own stricter definition aren’t considered cheese

Question to all english speakers:
What is the word for "beef spam"?
As in, preservatives that is spam-like in texture, but entirely made of beef? It's not corned beef.
Like, it's mashed and pulped into uniform mush, added some salt and pepper, and can be used like spam, but there is no pork in it.
Not luncheon meat either, as there is no pork or chiken in it. It's beef, just minced finely.
Due to FSIS regulations enacted in 2004 to protect consumers against bovine spongiform encephalopathy, mechanically separated beef is considered inedible and is prohibited for use as human food. It is not permitted in hot dogs or any other processed product.
The main issue is that it could contain trace amounts of spinal tissue. There are obviously solutions to this but odds are the USDA didn't care to implement them or expected the industry to follow them.
i didnt know it was about spines, that makes sense.

Yeah brain and spinal cord is the main issue. England actually did similar and banned the sale of mechanically separated meat from anything that eats grass. Since that outbreak was a major issue on the global scale.

Prion contamination is nigh impossible to prevent, but allowing combo mechanically seperated products would probably also contain brain, and since the machines process thousands of pounds of product it could literally be a massive problem.
Readily available in Europe due to higher cattle farming, animal healthcare and food industry standards.
Lmao retard it's because Mad Cow is so spooky to both US and UK consumers we prefer a straight no risk to risk. The EU doesn't have higher standards of anything for beef and that very bloc is who brought Mad Cow disease to the rest of the planet you fucking moron. The US however has never had endemic mad cow and puts a lot of effort into preventing it. Also there is literally 0 protections or typical screenings done for Mad Cow. As a prion based illness it can penetrate skin barriers without broken skin. Detecting it requires powerful equipment and is not typically scaled. Thats literally why standard detection response is a straight cull of all meat in the area.
I think that brits have THE toughest cattle industry standards these days exactly because of that. They went hard on it during mad cow aftermath.
Don't know if that has changed since brexit. I have heard some scary stuff about them laxing food standards to allow american level stuff (Chlorine washed chiken etc) in, as they are now somewhat cut off from EU markets and prices have gone up.
>laxing food standards to allow american level stuff >laxing
oh dear.
the lobby over there uses propaganda to make it seem that way. in truth we are stricter on most things that matter. they invent crap like GMO/pesticide scares to keep us out. the purpose is to keep our stuff out because the US is an agricultural goddamn powerhouse and would easily collapse the european market if they were to compete on anywhere near a level playing field. they used to do this with chicken taxes but "free trade" agreements don't let them do that anymore so they invent this kind of regulatory bullshit backed by garbage science instead.
Chlorine washed chicken isn’t really a thing anymore. Vast majority of processors moved on to a better method of cleaning after slaughter. It was never anything more than a stopgap. Not to mention that the EU’s food safety agency considers it perfectly safe as well.

When processed cheese was first introduced the dairy lobby pushed really hard to have it legally labeled "Embalmed Cheese" I think it was eventually decided in court that the label would be to harmful to the processed cheese companies.

>most because its essentially and arm of the USDA which really really doesn't want band press for meat ever.
Yeah ever since the Jungle they get really crazy sometimes.
Food standards are about the same (to the point where it's hard to say which are "better") in both, with EU being more strict on additives, preservatives, animal medication and non-tested substances.
And yes,
Watch out, they’ll get uppity and will post Kraft singles or cheez wiz that by our own stricter definition aren’t considered cheese
There are tougher regulation on what you can call something. Like, I have eaten bologna sausages that have so much flour in them that in some european countries they would be considered "pastry".
Living in the cheese state(Wisconsin) you never hear about shit like that. Also Hawkeye dairy is the best even though you couldn't find a 30square mile part of the state without a bar, church, or a dairy in the area
Also the us has strategic cheese caves, which I find hilarious
Yeah you think it's funny until cities shelves are looted empty, the farms are guarded with heavily armed militias, and Gerry from the USDA signs the order to unlock the strategic cheese storage.
lower standard cuz u can buy real milk and real cheese, not highly processed garbage filled with salt and shit only to kill terrible taste of meat waste like mutts garbage food. your famous obesity does not come from a high standard of food.
Not lower or higher, just different. American standards for meat imports are phenomenally strict on diseases like e-coli because americans like raw meat; blue steaks and all that shit. You could argue that its because american dairy is so strict on anything that could cause illness is why their cheeses are stripped of anything resembling nutritional value.
How fucking stupid are you? I've lived here all my life and I've never seen a mad cow, they're the chillest creatures on gods earth.
Why do you people consistently let the garden gnome take our rights away? You want to live in an America where we can't even eat beef? Trump would never let that happen.
this thread made me go read the SPAM wikipedia. found this >Loof, a canned corned beef product often featured in Israeli Defense Forces rations, was popularly known as "kosher spam", although it contains no pork.
it's also called corned beef. the corn historically refers to a type of salt that was used, not actual corn or a style of cooking.
also superior to spam. fries up crisper and just tastes better.

Are you saying I could catch it by shoving my hand in cow brains?
No, it should similar to HIV, if the skin is undamaged there is no risk. There is a big but though and I cannot lie scarification of the skin is considered potentially sufficient to compromise the skin barrier to the point of infection.
>Regarding canned food. How strict is the best before date? 3 months? A year? Forever? How long is tinned or canned food edible for after that date?
Modern canned food that has been stored in a dark and cool enviroment will last several decades. I mean, just look at SteveMRE to get the idea.
It's even better when we're talking about home canning in mason jars. As long as you keep them dark and cool they'll outlast you with ease. Stuff might lose flavor and change color but it won't kill you if properly canned (= boiled inside the can/jar)
If the can is in good condition (no corrosion, holes, etc.), is not bulging/doesn't hiss when opened and doesn't smell/taste rancid it's probably safe to eat.

Smell and taste test, check for bulging and damages on the can, like the others said.
In my experience you're good to go but if something is "funny" just chuck the can, don't risk your stomach health.

well https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fat_hydrogenation#Process but the problem is basically turning a liquid fat into something that solidifies under some conditions, such as in your arteries. solid chunky things inside your arteries are generally recognized as a bad thing but as a source of seed or plant oil the ratio of these original liquid fats to literally everything else is completely fine. animal fats are safer but still not something you can just chug or eat everything fried.
Duck and goose fat is fantastic for cooking with. It's got great flavour and since it's rendered animal fat, it has enough stable long chain fats to fry at high temperatures without burning. Also, ducks and geese have tons of fat, so just buy a whole one, stuff it with some oranges, and roast it slowly over a tray and pick up the liquid gold for later use. That way you get succulent roast water fowl and fat for later use.
Try making roast potatoes with it. Boil your potatoes, rough them up a bit, then roast them in the fat. You'll get a glassy, crunchy exterior and a silky, fluffy interior. Cannot be beaten.
i thought i had more, they may be lost somewhere or i cut out shittier ones. i also can't find any of my ultralightfag charts with like calories per kg. clearly my collection is not as complete as i thought.

Somewhat? While sausages are generally considered to be strings of meat inside casings it doesn't have to be.
There are instances of sausage in cans, mason jars and the like, both as spread and solid pieces, mostly an old time and europe thing afaik.
So I guess spam is a kind of sausage.
Sorry for the shilling but I always like to share some canned stuff we produce over here in Euroland to the few guys in the US that like canned stuff, look up Nuri sardines, they are one of the few old canning factories still doing it in the traditional way, those same sardines were sometimes sold to WW2 Germany so if you are curious you can try them out yourselves.
With the Hispaniced ones don't expect a level of Hispanice comparable to what you guys have there, and I don't know if you burgers are that much into tomato sauce + fish so just try the olive oil ones if you prefer, and don't shy away from the old cans they tend to be the best ones because of how all the flavour of the condiments got into the sardines.
We still like canned food a lot here, a staple for many University students is canned tuna with rice, is it true canned stuff is looked down upon there as poor people's food?
Nuri is good but I've always been loyal to the King for deenz. Yes tomato sauce tins are pretty common and I like those.
Most canned stuff is poor person food but it's also convenient. I think deenz are way more acceptable and edible than canned ravioli and shit like that.

Bacon Spam doesn't even change the taste that much (if at all) but it smells fucking great while you're frying it up and that's a nice bit of morale, and Less Sodium is just Spam but a little less salty so you can taste more of whatever you might be mixing it with. Note I said Less Sodium, not Lite. Spam Lite is cat food. Do not eat it.
Hell yes it is, with hash or without.
i concur, less sodium is great and should definitely be the standard instead unless it kills shelf life or something.
>with hash or without.
Without. I kind of like corned beef sliced and fried on rice. Either that or broken up with eggs.
Well it's also a widespread use of TCM. They tried to sell herbal pills as a cure for Covid and everything. The adverts are pretty good comedy:
The jalapeño spam has actual jalapeño chunks.
Hell yeah brother.
Fuck that. Spam hot and Hispanicy is like reguar spam that's been soaked in expired dollar tree tabasco.
>I pass on novelty flavors.
Your loss. Tocino, longanisa, bacon, teriyaki, jalapeno and (surprisingly) low-sodium are all fantastic. Maple, turkey, lite, hickory and hot and Hispanicy are ass and garlic, cheese, black pepper and chorizo are okay.
I always like to point out that processed cheese was invented by the Swiss and that tons of it is sold in Europe but sold as spread instead of slices.

My parents used to buy this canned salmon. It was basically a whole unprocessed chunk of a salmon. The bones were so soft they would crumble in your mouth. The spine was my favorite part. Really fun to crush the vertebrates in your mouth.
In a situation where water supply may be limited I'm not eating those
shouldn't be eating any protein without lots of water, good way to fucking dehydrate.

Is corned beef acceptable?
idk i didnt like the brazilian? brand one. the corn beef hash is always amazing but thats not a great deal.
nah you gotta congeal the jalapenos into the meat slurry as it reconstitutes to reach maximum flavor.
Question to all english speakers:
What is the word for "beef spam"?
As in, preservatives that is spam-like in texture, but entirely made of beef? It's not corned beef.
Like, it's mashed and pulped into uniform mush, added some salt and pepper, and can be used like spam, but there is no pork in it.
Not luncheon meat either, as there is no pork or chiken in it. It's beef, just minced finely.
Due to FSIS regulations enacted in 2004 to protect consumers against bovine spongiform encephalopathy, mechanically separated beef is considered inedible and is prohibited for use as human food. It is not permitted in hot dogs or any other processed product.
>bovine spongiform encephalopathy
That's mad cow, right? That makes holes in your brain and shit? I had a relative die of that. Nasty stuff.
yeah prions n shit i guess. i have no idea how it's related.
The main issue is that it could contain trace amounts of spinal tissue. There are obviously solutions to this but odds are the USDA didn't care to implement them or expected the industry to follow them.
i didnt know it was about spines, that makes sense.
Yeah brain and spinal cord is the main issue. England actually did similar and banned the sale of mechanically separated meat from anything that eats grass. Since that outbreak was a major issue on the global scale.
i just heard that kuru cannibal thing was prions in the brain, spine was news to me
Prion contamination is nigh impossible to prevent, but allowing combo mechanically seperated products would probably also contain brain, and since the machines process thousands of pounds of product it could literally be a massive problem.
Lmao retard it's because Mad Cow is so spooky to both US and UK consumers we prefer a straight no risk to risk. The EU doesn't have higher standards of anything for beef and that very bloc is who brought Mad Cow disease to the rest of the planet you fucking moron. The US however has never had endemic mad cow and puts a lot of effort into preventing it. Also there is literally 0 protections or typical screenings done for Mad Cow. As a prion based illness it can penetrate skin barriers without broken skin. Detecting it requires powerful equipment and is not typically scaled. Thats literally why standard detection response is a straight cull of all meat in the area.
bro, that shit started in the UK. It wasn't a problem in the rest of Europe.
Readily available in Europe due to higher cattle farming, animal healthcare and food industry standards.
i suspected as much but it doesn't have that standard trade name without the US pigging out on it
Well I would hope you have that now since it was the brits who started the whole thing.
I think that brits have THE toughest cattle industry standards these days exactly because of that. They went hard on it during mad cow aftermath.
Don't know if that has changed since brexit. I have heard some scary stuff about them laxing food standards to allow american level stuff (Chlorine washed chiken etc) in, as they are now somewhat cut off from EU markets and prices have gone up.
>laxing food standards to allow american level stuff
>laxing
oh dear.
the lobby over there uses propaganda to make it seem that way. in truth we are stricter on most things that matter. they invent crap like GMO/pesticide scares to keep us out. the purpose is to keep our stuff out because the US is an agricultural goddamn powerhouse and would easily collapse the european market if they were to compete on anywhere near a level playing field. they used to do this with chicken taxes but "free trade" agreements don't let them do that anymore so they invent this kind of regulatory bullshit backed by garbage science instead.
Chlorine washed chicken isn’t really a thing anymore. Vast majority of processors moved on to a better method of cleaning after slaughter. It was never anything more than a stopgap. Not to mention that the EU’s food safety agency considers it perfectly safe as well.
I just wash my chicken at home. Little bit of water, lemon juice, and salt tends to work the best
It’s still washed before you ever get it at the processing plant.
You’re black aren’t you
White but not the good kind.
Most of my chicken is fresh from farm so it's mainly to just get rid of any debris that might've ended up on it. Not like I'm fucking scrubbing it with soap
Unless you are slaughtering the chicken from yourself it’s almost certainly been washed. There isn’t a singular processor of any size in the US that would take the risk of being the source of an e.coli or salmonella outbreak.
Ya never know man, I don't want to run the risk of the being patient zero for it
Bait
for me it's Dawn
I use Ajax Lemon flavored soap
Food standards in Europe are generally lower than the US. Raw milk/cheese is sold there for example. You don't see stories like this in America. https://www.foodsafetynews.com/2023/04/five-died-in-italian-outbreak-linked-to-raw-milk-cheese/
Watch out, they’ll get uppity and will post Kraft singles or cheez wiz that by our own stricter definition aren’t considered cheese
When processed cheese was first introduced the dairy lobby pushed really hard to have it legally labeled "Embalmed Cheese" I think it was eventually decided in court that the label would be to harmful to the processed cheese companies.
Mix it into some instant potatoes for a true monster mash.
fuck you
Going to serve it with a side of Count Chocula too. 🙂
instant mashed potatoes (and instant sweet potato flavored mashed potatoes) are fantastic and better than most handmade shit and fuck haters.
Yeah but you don't get the big pieces of potato skin in them.
Good, cheap, easy to mix vegetables and steak into in a pinch. What's not to love? You can even make your own homemade versions that store for a fucking while.
>not franken berry
disgusting
god damn it's almost October already? 2019 felt like only a month ago
boo berry boys reporting in
Most people make homemade mash using those terrible hand mashers which is why its chunky and soupy at the same time. You need a food mill to really make a smooth restaurant style mash at home. Or a stand mixer but most normies will overwork with the mixer and end up with runny shit. Also protip: Always use 80% golden potato and 20% russet
Use a fork fucker, it's called doing it right
Fuck with your HOMOgeneous paste. This is a chunky mashed potato (and peanut butter) board
I hate three letter agencies with a passion, but the FDA actually does it job more often than not, most because its essentially and arm of the USDA which really really doesn't want band press for meat ever.
>most because its essentially and arm of the USDA which really really doesn't want band press for meat ever.
Yeah ever since the Jungle they get really crazy sometimes.
Food standards are about the same (to the point where it's hard to say which are "better") in both, with EU being more strict on additives, preservatives, animal medication and non-tested substances.
And yes,
There are tougher regulation on what you can call something. Like, I have eaten bologna sausages that have so much flour in them that in some european countries they would be considered "pastry".
>lower standards.
You tell yourself that while eating bread that we would define as cake because of the high sugar content.
Your wine isn't even second place to American, it's third behind Spanish, lol.
Living in the cheese state(Wisconsin) you never hear about shit like that. Also Hawkeye dairy is the best even though you couldn't find a 30square mile part of the state without a bar, church, or a dairy in the area
Also the us has strategic cheese caves, which I find hilarious
Yeah you think it's funny until cities shelves are looted empty, the farms are guarded with heavily armed militias, and Gerry from the USDA signs the order to unlock the strategic cheese storage.
>the country that caused unleashed an obesity and heart disease epidemic with HFCS and trans fats in everything
>higher food standards
Oh no no no no no
that is standardized obesity and heart disease, anon. our metrics are impeccable.
You still use body parts as measuring units like a cavemen, don't talk about metrics you have no right to
How many stone do you weigh these days?
>eurofats will even blame America for their obesity
lower standard cuz u can buy real milk and real cheese, not highly processed garbage filled with salt and shit only to kill terrible taste of meat waste like mutts garbage food. your famous obesity does not come from a high standard of food.
Not lower or higher, just different. American standards for meat imports are phenomenally strict on diseases like e-coli because americans like raw meat; blue steaks and all that shit. You could argue that its because american dairy is so strict on anything that could cause illness is why their cheeses are stripped of anything resembling nutritional value.
God damn government and their garden gnome regulations.
You'd think we could eat whatever we damn well please in this ""free country""
>t. Encephalopathic drooling tard
How fucking stupid are you? I've lived here all my life and I've never seen a mad cow, they're the chillest creatures on gods earth.
Why do you people consistently let the garden gnome take our rights away? You want to live in an America where we can't even eat beef? Trump would never let that happen.
Stop with the dumb false flagging. Also yes the moo moo's are chill and sweet and I love them very much
You have holes in your brain anon
this thread made me go read the SPAM wikipedia. found this
>Loof, a canned corned beef product often featured in Israeli Defense Forces rations, was popularly known as "kosher spam", although it contains no pork.
it's also called corned beef. the corn historically refers to a type of salt that was used, not actual corn or a style of cooking.
also superior to spam. fries up crisper and just tastes better.
as an american i'm kinda getting sick of calling maize corn
In America, maize means sorghum.
No it doesn't
>... it can penetrate skin barriers without broken skin...
Are you saying I could catch it by shoving my hand in cow brains?
No, it should similar to HIV, if the skin is undamaged there is no risk. There is a big but though and I cannot lie scarification of the skin is considered potentially sufficient to compromise the skin barrier to the point of infection.
also spam is expensive as hell now, go to walmart and get yourself great value luncheon meat™
sad but true
I don't even do "prep" or whatever just love spam
Sliced and fried on the pan with salt and pepper, sauce
With some eggs and toast, maybe some milk, that's it man
Meh, I do have Spam in the basement but I prefer cans with Corned Beef.
Imagine using Spam as a Weapon? Getting k1lled by yummy food :3333
the first and only time I ever ate this goyslop it made me violently ill
weak constitution
this is almost certainly user error, like touching it with an unwashed hand, as the food is sterilized before canning ensuring no germs
there isnt anything wrong by itself either
its just meat puree with salt, Hispanices, and preservatives
not unlike sausage
>goyslop
is aryanslop mate.
Forest Anon loves Spam. I remember him calling it his "hawaiian hobo ham" in a livestream.
just another reason to love forestanon
I have never eaten spam. I like tuna, though.
God I used to go through like 10 of these in a week.
careful snon that's how you get mercury poisoning
Oh how I wish we had authentic spam in Finland. The local stuff just isn't the same.
Try those "ethnic" stores. Often especially asian ones have genuine spam in stock. Maybe even original sriracha.
Regarding canned food. How strict is the best before date? 3 months? A year? Forever? How long is tinned or canned food edible for after that date?
(I have some tinned chili 1y past its best before date and I'm hungry.)
>Regarding canned food. How strict is the best before date? 3 months? A year? Forever? How long is tinned or canned food edible for after that date?
Modern canned food that has been stored in a dark and cool enviroment will last several decades. I mean, just look at SteveMRE to get the idea.
It's even better when we're talking about home canning in mason jars. As long as you keep them dark and cool they'll outlast you with ease. Stuff might lose flavor and change color but it won't kill you if properly canned (= boiled inside the can/jar)
For home-canning, you should also boil the contents for 10+ minutes before consuming. The FDA says that will take care of any botulism.
If the can is in good condition (no corrosion, holes, etc.), is not bulging/doesn't hiss when opened and doesn't smell/taste rancid it's probably safe to eat.
Steve MRE can survive PLA rations, the man has a stomach made of titanium. But thanks guys.
Smell and taste test, check for bulging and damages on the can, like the others said.
In my experience you're good to go but if something is "funny" just chuck the can, don't risk your stomach health.
Have eaten 10yr old canned tuna, and the packed-in-oil was pretty decent still, while the packed-in-water had a pronounced tinny taste.
a nice hiss
>fried with a side of mustard
No better way to do it
>like the taste of canned meat on bread
>read on PrepHole that no no no I'm doing it wrong I need to cook it
>cook it
>its fucking disgusting now
Why are americans like that
some canned meats are flavored good, like deviled ham. cooked spam just enhances the flavor profile it already has while removing excess packing garbage oils.
>dunking on cooking to own le americans
nice job, champ
It's already cooked in the can though, you don't need to cook the thing again
I will never understand people who don't like spam
Heathens and europeans, all of them
american pigs and their filthy slop. and then they wonder why they're all morbidly obese with bones more under stress than the cables of a chinese bridge
Stop making me buy spam! My sodium is high enough. This board is turning into nothing but Hormel and Casio shills.
>PrepHole is full of fat tards that eat precooked processed food because they're to lazy to cook
And water is wet, more at 11
for real though low sodium (still high sodium) is the superior flavor. just use it in moderation for flavor.
sheit get the tocino one its way better
>>Cube and Fry in duck fat until golden brown
>> fry cabbage onions and caraway seeds add in the spam cubes
>> served to foodies and they couldn’t believe it was spam
bird fats are basically cheating. thats like serving them crack with spam and expecting them to not love it.
Uhh what the upsides to using duck fat? Is it really that good flavor wise?
It turns potatoes into succulent mouth organisms and cheap processed canned ham into flavour explosions of flying big
Huh, I might give it a try. Much appreciated Anon.
Partially related I know people have been railing against seed oils and all that shit which I've been hesitant to believe since almost everything is some dumb grift scheme now but so is it worth doing to switch over to animal fats for cooking as far as health is concerned?
Seed oils have been linked to cancer. Stick with butter and none of that gay shit.
sneed oils
Formerly Chuck’s
Definitely animal fat seed oil is hydrogenated goy slop
So what's the primary issue with hydrogenated ones?
might still find new shit wrong with them, idk. they ruin tasty foods by being cheap garbage oil from other processes.
Couldn't I just make own fuckin peanut oil or something then?
idk what this started out as but sure? nothing wrong with nut and seed oils at all except the processes evil corpos use to kill people with them.
Can I ask what those processes are or will be a drone striked for doing so?
well https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fat_hydrogenation#Process but the problem is basically turning a liquid fat into something that solidifies under some conditions, such as in your arteries. solid chunky things inside your arteries are generally recognized as a bad thing but as a source of seed or plant oil the ratio of these original liquid fats to literally everything else is completely fine. animal fats are safer but still not something you can just chug or eat everything fried.
Food companies began using hydrogenated oil to help increase shelf life and save costs.
Duck and goose fat is fantastic for cooking with. It's got great flavour and since it's rendered animal fat, it has enough stable long chain fats to fry at high temperatures without burning. Also, ducks and geese have tons of fat, so just buy a whole one, stuff it with some oranges, and roast it slowly over a tray and pick up the liquid gold for later use. That way you get succulent roast water fowl and fat for later use.
Try making roast potatoes with it. Boil your potatoes, rough them up a bit, then roast them in the fat. You'll get a glassy, crunchy exterior and a silky, fluffy interior. Cannot be beaten.
Spam is very popular in Hawaii, there is a festival every year with a bunch of spam based dishes.
Let me guess, your country was on the losing side of the last world war?
the partially hydrogenated stuff was bad, i dont think complete hydrogenated oils were anything though
OG spam has been overshadowed by better knock offs.
List them. I'll be on the lookout for em when I get the chance

Thanks asshole now I have to go make musubi that shit is unmatched
I think there used to be an infographic for it (not that they are reliable, but still).
What are some recommendations for home made food packs and such?
i'm pretty sure i have all of the old infographics i ever saw circa 2011-2013, they are definitely shit.
It appears I have this one. Are there any more of this particular sort?
i thought i had more, they may be lost somewhere or i cut out shittier ones. i also can't find any of my ultralightfag charts with like calories per kg. clearly my collection is not as complete as i thought.
btw bacon bits are stupidly light for their calories, peanut butter + bacon bits is some long term fuel.

>I just wish they would lower the salt
Wait. Nitrate is bad? How? Do you avoid eating celery too?
It raises your chances of GI cancer overall by like 0.01-0.10% over your life if you consume a good amount of it daily. Really not a huge deal, drink plenty of water with it.
They also made a limited edition pumpkin Hispanice spam.
pumpkin ham sounds pretty gross, maple ham sounds gross but i know its good on sausage. is spam technically sausage....?
Somewhat? While sausages are generally considered to be strings of meat inside casings it doesn't have to be.
There are instances of sausage in cans, mason jars and the like, both as spread and solid pieces, mostly an old time and europe thing afaik.
So I guess spam is a kind of sausage.
>maple ham sounds gross
You never dipped your breakfast pork in the syrup?
pork yeah ham not so sure. i don't really like honey baked ham either. teriyaki is disgusting.

Spam and canned potatoes/beans is my jam for power outages or natural disasters.
Sorry for the shilling but I always like to share some canned stuff we produce over here in Euroland to the few guys in the US that like canned stuff, look up Nuri sardines, they are one of the few old canning factories still doing it in the traditional way, those same sardines were sometimes sold to WW2 Germany so if you are curious you can try them out yourselves.
With the Hispaniced ones don't expect a level of Hispanice comparable to what you guys have there, and I don't know if you burgers are that much into tomato sauce + fish so just try the olive oil ones if you prefer, and don't shy away from the old cans they tend to be the best ones because of how all the flavour of the condiments got into the sardines.
We still like canned food a lot here, a staple for many University students is canned tuna with rice, is it true canned stuff is looked down upon there as poor people's food?
Nuri is good but I've always been loyal to the King for deenz. Yes tomato sauce tins are pretty common and I like those.
Most canned stuff is poor person food but it's also convenient. I think deenz are way more acceptable and edible than canned ravioli and shit like that.
I buy the 25% sodium version since it's still like 1/3 of your daily dose.
nobody could finish 3 cans of spam in one day could they.....?
I'll try and report back to ya
I don't want to but I'm pretty sure I could.

>No mac salad
Ya done goofed; let me help you with that.
4oz small pasta - elbows, ditalini, broken up spaghetti (Maui-style; RIP Lahaina), etc.
1/2 cup + 1/8 cup Best Foods/Hellmans mayo (yes, it has to be Best Foods/Hellmans - no Duke's or Kewpie or store brands or fucking Miracle Whip)
1/2 tsp. grated red onion
1 small carrot, grated
Black pepper to taste
Cook pasta until completely soft but not falling apart
Drain pasta and allow to cool completely
Mix mayo, carrot, onion and black pepper
Fold in pasta
Chill in fridge until ready to serve
Wa la. Hawaiian mac salad is actually a condiment in disguise and not a proper side dish so I'd advise against eating it by itself but a plate lunch isn't a plate lunch without it and by god I will DIE on this hill.
