I was in the grocery store today and spotted a new item: single serving SPAM in a foil pouch !

My father is a WW II vet, an I gather that the big one was won on SPAM.

Anyway, you can now get a 3 oz slice of SPAM in a pouch very similar to the ones used for tuna.

Good chance to do a side by side comparison of the WW II fare with current MRE.

I think it was in Stephen Ambrose's book, Citizen Soldiers, that I read the story about Ike Eisenhower meeting the CEO of Hormel after the war. After thanking him for Hormels contribution to the war effort and the many tons of SPAM that were sent to the forces over seas, Ike smiled and added, "but did you have to send so much ! "
