Is SPAM the perfect keto food :o)

(Herb Martin) #21

And I was serious about liverwurst which is really good (even for people like me who hate liver) and doesn’t have any of the bad stuff.

(Karim Wassef) #22

I like SPAM too. Any really good recipes using it?

found one and decided to share:

I would just use pork rinds instead… and maybe fry in lard? pig in pig in pig ? LOL

Spam cut up small with mayonnaise, a little dosed onion and small cubed cheese, delicious

Don’t fear the nitrates in cured meats, you’re not afraid of celery are you? It has many times more nitrates in a couple of stalks than a whole pound of bacon does.

Don’t fear the Bacon :bacon::bacon::bacon::bacon::bacon:

Did somebody say “bacon”? !! :bacon::bacon:

So do all plants, and usually more per gram, too!

I like spam, could eat it plain, straight out of the tin or dipped in mayo. Might have to get a tin after all this spam talk!

I guess this happens when you use the search tool and the only word you use is bacon.

I just think that salted fatty meat that can survive a decade vacuum sealed is so cool. If our ancestors had SPAM, they would have used it.

Anyone tried grilling it like sausage? I’ve done shish kabob with veggies.

Roasting it on an open fire?

Other ideas?

I was just going to say the same thing Scott, except I was wondering if @PaulL just puts the bacon emoji in the search bar. :joy:

Well, one reason SPAM might not be at the top of the good-keto-foods-list is the packaging.
(For me, anything with a long shelf-life is suspect.)

Google Korean GI stew. You’d have to do some tweaking to make it keto friendly. :man_cook:t3:

Hawaii - the land of well-stocked grocery stores.

Spam, spam, spam and eggs with spam. :grin:

(Full Metal KETO AF) #36

Okay, It’s a tough job but someone had to do it for the uninitiated…

Spam is an international phenomena :cowboy_hat_face:

I grew up in Hawaii, Spam is a mainstay there and I actually do like it. In fact I actually opened a can the other night because I was craving something salty, thinly sliced and fried till crispy, yum! While it may not have the ideal macros, it works for me and I always keep a few cans around. Spam, eggs and rice ono! Though, no more rice for me.

(Karim Wassef) #38

Actually- it has almost perfect macros. It’s deficient in micros & has some preservatives that shouldn’t be ingested in large volume…

Spam and liver with bacon and mayo… that should have micros and macros

When nitrites and amino acids are present, carcinogenic compounds called nitrosamines can form during high heat cooking.

So don’t burn the bacon! Any burnt meat has carcinogens. :cowboy_hat_face:
