Also curious about things that are the other way around where they look really good but taste awful.

    The first time my hawaiian friend fried the spam my mind was blown. No one I knew had ever cooked it, and we all thought it was nasty.

      From Hawai’i here. I recently learned a new trick from a Filipino woman in regards to Spam: fry it until it screams. You put a thicker layer of oil in the pan and fry it until either the bottom side takes on a kind of yellow hue or you can hear a little whistle come out of it. This causes the fat to render and brings out the meat flavor in the Spam. Plus it gets crispier. Makes GREAT Spam musubi.

      Spam, egg, and rice is a favorite of my kids (and me). Can get it at McDonald’s here. Also good on pizza.
