ewwwwwwww my grandpa opened a can of spam yesterday and there's like this...this...i dunno, some weird clear jello-ish shit all over it ewwwwwwwww
a lot of pacific islands are big on spam (the philipeans is huge with it) because during ww2 that was pretty much the only "meat" you could get out there
jello is animal protiens, animal protiens like being gelatenous so do certain vegatable protiens, like pectin, pectin is responsible for lelly....
I played in a band called The Snords for a while who recorded a song about Spam.:H Sadly it's not on the net, but you can listen to other such lunacy on the web. My favourite is 'I SEE A HAMSTER' which you can download here http://music.download.com/snords/3600-8622_32-100147115.html?tag=listing_song_artist but you have to take thirty seconds registering. Listen at your peril!!
