Hike..Spam and a MRE meat pouch are about the same price.$3 for the MRE and i think Spam is just a bit under that.the chicken paddy in the picture i posted on the Coleman pot thread was not bad and a solid hunk of meat,no BBQ sauce so it needs to go with something.i think you could get several servings from a can of Spam but the paddy was right for one person.the thing about the MRE's is that you can get some good "phony" dinners like a pork riblet,meatloaf,meat paddy,that sort of thing and mix up the tastes so eating does not get too dull,i'm thinking camping here.
if you want really good canned meat try Leaman's,the place that sells Amish hardware.they have added big cans of beef,pork and turkey to their catalog and i'm sure it's about the best you could get.if your putting away food for an emergency i would get a big mix of everything you can find at the local store.
