SPAMwiches...SPAM and eggs...baked SPAM -- these are just a few of the quick tricks you can perform with this fascinating new Hormel meat of many, many uses. Cold or hot, SPAM hits the spot around the clock: for breakfast, luncheon, cocktail hour, dinner or midnight snack. And it's all so easy! You don't even have to crowd SPAM into your refrigerator -- just keep it on your pantry shelf, ready for action. Swing to SPAM today -- at your local food store. A product of Geo. A. Hormel & Co.
BAKED SPAM -- Place whole SPAM in shallow baking pan, score flat surface, insert 4 cloves. Bake in moderate oven. After 10 minutes, pour over surface a top dressing made with 1/8 cup light brown sugar, 1 tps. prepared mustard, 1/2 tsp. vinegar, 1 tsp. water. Mix to smooth paste. bake 15 minutes, basting every 5 minutes.
SPAMWICHES: These smart new sandwiches are made with cold sliced SPAM. And there are dozens of delicious variations.
SPAM & EGGS: Just fry SPAM slices and serve with eggs as shown. Or dice SPAM for Spambled eggs.
CANAPES: Serve SPAM bits on tiny crackers or toothpicks. For other smart SPAM suggestions, see the label on the can.
