Meaty Juicy Satisfaction

That is what Spam is called in China, a fact I learned at the Spam museum in Austin, Minnesota. Although the museum rightly focuses on all things Spammish, they also include exhibits for other Hormel products, like chili. Hence this giant chili dog. (It's allegedly a sofa, though I'm not sure where exactly you're supposed to sit.)

So after breakfasting on ice cream, lunch consisted of a Spam slider. I haven't eaten Spam since I was a kid, nor have I wanted to, but I have to admit that taste brought back memories of sitting at the kitchen table in San Francisco eating my mom's grilled cheese and Spam sandwiches for Saturday dinner. Proust's Spam sandwich.
