Like us, you’ve probably never spent too much time thinking about Spam. Unless you’re from Hawaii, where it’s a national delicacy, and it’s served six million different ways from Sunday, each and every single one of which is delicious. Spam is just one of those things that always seems to have been there, but it’s actually less than a hundred years old and was originally introduced to the American dietary lexicon in 1937 by Hormel. It became popular during wartime, especially among the troops stationed in Hawaii, where (as we’ve already mentioned) it took off like a rocket, and it’s been with us ever since, and in all likelihood, it’ll be with us until the end of recorded human history.
