Spam is reconstituted meat that is full of salt and starch, it costs more than some real meat.

I am completely open to all sorts of weird foods but spam is not weird or all that strange it is just reconstituted rubbish full of salt starch and fat.

Also on your point of being scared of it, that is not my problem I just prefer to eat food that is not full of preservatives and modified potato starch.

 

Yea, SPAM is too expensive. Goes great with spicy ramen tho... And doesnt go bad

Don't be bad-mouthing spam.

What's so scary about easy to swallow bone and cartilage and why should it have to be cheap? Have you guys ever tried cooking something other than tomato spaghetti? I've sawed bloody cow tongues sticky with saliva into wonderful tasty soft and sweet pieces of heaven. I find the supermarket tries to dump them out at super low prices so you guys may consider trying to cook it. My roommates also seemed have had allergies to intestines. I don't even cook these things when I'm tight on money. People need to stop doing gagging motions and just put food into their mouths, especially SPAM. How can you be scared of SPAM? Has the world become so spoiled that they only consider the finest McDonalds menu item for their aristocratic lifestyles without needing to think twice? 

x2 I love cow tongue. Making tongue roast and stuffing them in sandwiches is just heavenly.

Basic food is low cost and healthy. Buy unprocessed unrepackaged and cook at home.

Awesome pix but just wondering, do you eat the limes whole?

The limes get squeezed onto the watermelon.

Wow... What kind of meat is that?

When I visited South Korea, they barbequed pork meat, but it tasted and felt like high quality beef. Better than the best steak I've eaten actually.

This also reminds me that China has found a way to bootleg cow meat from pig's meat.

Anyways, cheers, I'll be enjoying my second bowl of hot, spicy Korean ramen with spam and eggs again today.

Standard Beef       Although a list of knock-offs would be staggering!  Silver that says 925 which is 5% silver and plated iron to bike parts which are fake branded. The whole thing is endless!

Less implants than California though.........................................................................

Well, to fund my hobby, I've been doing my best not to spend any money that I'm counting as income. By that I mean my last 2 audio additions have literally been bought in coins. Change saved up over the years that I cashed and spent on audio. Money from selling-back textbooks I also treat as partially-audio expendable (only half, the other half goes back into savings) because I have already factored it out as tuition costs. Other than that, It's all about hunting for deals and buying used. None of my setup was new, the headphones are modded, the speakers were free, etc. etc. Other than getting the turntable put together and building a dipole antenna for my radio, my only audio expenditure for a while will hopefully be music, lots and lots of used Cd's/vinyl from yard sales. Which can often be had for a buck a peice or so (especially if you offer to buy half their collection off of them)

As far as cooking: being able to cook helps a lot. It amazes me how much some of my friends will spend on food that doesn't taste that great (ram-en, dijorno pizza, lean cuisine) because they refuse to learn how to cook beyond the microwave. For the price of a frozen dinner, you can make make a nice sized pot of marinara sauce that freezes well, and yields about 10 individual servings of sauce or more. After that it's 30 cents of pasta a serving for good home-cooked food. Whole chickens are cheap too, and you get 2 breasts, 2 legs, and either chicken noodle soup or chicken salad out of them. That's 5-6 meals total out of a single bird, half an onion, a few stalks of celery and a carrot! Take that frozen toquitos!
