Tell her that the lard is to prevent the Spam-light from permanently adhering to the Cast Iron skillet.

even spam light is too damn salty for me, although the turkey in a square can is just barely OK. It’s pressure canned, you would think they would not have to salt it to death too.

Is that a problem?

They make SPAM Lite? Good Good in heaven, WHY?? If you’re going to eat SPAM, eat the real thing. (And cook it in bacon fat.) Sheesh.

Tell her to get Bacon Spam instead, it’s pretty tasty.

If you have to eat fake pig, it should taste like real pig, IMHO. Just sayin’………….

SM – You have to cut in a little pineapple to thin the salt taste… Better yet just throw a whole can of sliced pineapple into the pan.

Mmmm…tactical charcuterie. Yes, it has to have salt in it (maybe not as much as we’re accustomed to); salt is the original preservative, safe and effective. It took us 10,000 years to figure out something not to like about it. And fat itself acts as a preservative when pressure-cooked into meat scraps–really, the basis for all European culture. It all came from Greece, see?
Our ancestors (like, 40 years ago) knew to use the cooked-off salt and fat of preserved meats in the rest of a recipe. Jerky is meant to be the base for a soup or stew, not a trail snack. There’s enough usable fat in regular-strength Spam to fry an egg in, if you simmer it.

I cooked some bacon for LawDog’s sammich last night, and I went back into the kitchen and noticed all the not-sammich bacon had disappeared. Heh.
There really should be bacon bouillon, don’t you think?

You know why Spam is so popular in south Pacific islands, don’t you?

But there is bacon bouillon:
