SPAM? What is SPAM?

The term SPAM comes from a Monty Python skit set in a SPAM restaurant or diner. Some of the customers are somewhat enthusiastic about SPAM, which may explain why they chose to hang out in a SPAM diner. It is not as if they were singing the praises of SPAM in a FRENCH diner or an ITALIAN restaurant or anything out of context like that. Far from it! They were singing the praises appropriate to the place.

Given that, what most people refer to as SPAM might perhaps be more accurately termed luncheon meat, or processed flesh products, or mangled fat and muscle tissue possibly with other animal byproducts. Certainly not SPAM. Real brand-name SPAM is a delicacy in some parts! Was that just because it was wartime?
