 When I was in the norwegian army a few years back, we actually got real Spam,
or as we called it, plane crash or dead man in a can, and I think it is quite
good, sort of like really fat corned beef. It can be eaten both cold or warm,
and when unopened, they will last forever.(almost)
It is also very nutritious, containing a lot of good stuff that really keeps
you going, when you are out hiking in the woods.
