Hmm, sounds interesting~

My hubby grew up eating SPAM.
I on the other hand, did not.
We ate our fair share of ring bolonga....
but I don't remember ever eating SPAM.
That means only one thing to me....
my mother didn't like SPAM.

My hubby's family made something that they called: Denver's.
Fried SPAM slices, a fried egg, a slice of American cheese,
served on toast. A SPAM breakfast sandwich.

This recipe has been around for years...
at least for 35 years and
it is one of those recipes that you have no idea,
who or where you even got the recipe.

This sandwich spread is delicious served hot as a dip.
Spoon filling into an oven-proof dish,
bake until Velveeta is melted and
dip is heated through.

Frito Scoop Corn Chips
