 Spam
is not a regular item on my menu. I rarely think,
"You know what I'm hungry for? Canned, hugely-processed
meat product." But every so often I get the urge
to make Spam musubi - which
I first made because the idea of Spam sushi was so amusing
- and it's actually pretty good. I use Spam Lite - no
joke, it's part poultry, so it has less calories, fat,
and sodium - fried up teriyaki-style, set on top of
a brick of rice (made with a special Spam
musubi press, of course!) and wrapped in nori. What
got me thinking of Spam this time around was a party
this weekend in which I re-met an old friend who had
been living in Hawaii. We of course started talking
about Hawaiian cuisine, and she assured me that, yes,
Spam musubi is the all-pervasive food item it's been
described as.
And then there's some edamame, steamed
broccoli, a French
bread mini-baguette - actually,
it's more like an extreme breadstick - with butter
in a little container, and finally a sakura
mochi (onigiri type). Yes, it's still not Spring,
but seasons take a back seat to desserts.
Wanna talk
about it?
