content: What do Aussies and Kiwis pay per 11.5oz can these days?A local Asian store carried it for US$5, but they were ran out of business by another much larger store selling the same product for US$6.

content: The authentic homemade stuff is a pipedream for most. Palm is closest thing I can find, and despite being canned produce, it's damn expensive stuff.

content: Spam in full fat or lower fat versions are a Yankee, "American" canned food with pork hog shoulders, fat, and preserving saline gel. Span is most popular in Hawaii. I try to stay away from it, because of the fats and sodium nitrite preserving. Spam is made by Hormel Foods and a plant is at Stockton, California, U.S.A. in the agricultural great Central Valley and Delta region here. Meat prices are higher these days, because animal feed and transportation fuel prices are higher. Animal feed is often used to make fuel alcohols for the petroleum industries, thus causing food prices to be higher and food insecurity for lower income households. We have food banks, instead of soup kitchens and bread lines, terrible.

content: Pal is probably healthier than spam, less salt and no nitrites, You can also use the tins for project boxes the spam ones have a sharp edge but the pal ones have a rolled edge after opening. If you go to an Indian restaurant for a curry you most likely get the pal.
