General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

In a shop where I worked, we sold freshly sliced cooked meats, and I also used to deliver such goods to shops and supermarkets in another job I did, so I know a bit about it, and this was in the days when food tasted better, because there was more sugar and salt in it, so folk called Pork Luncheon Meat: "Spam" it was advertised in the shop has Spam, and folk would ask for Spam, even though it was not the 'real' Spam from America, do yoo remember going to your local shop and asking for 2oz of Spam or a quarter of Spam, and it would be cut for you fresh from the roll, on an electric slicer, and the roll of spam came in a pipeline shaped tin.



It was known in wholesales circles as PLM (pork luncheon meat) and it was cheap, cheap as chips, well chips back then, and you could cut the piece of Spam as thick as you liked, and customers would say, can I have a piece of spam, cut on number 5, and that would give a slice of about half an inch thick, and imagine frying grilling a piece that big, it wsa delicious, and I know you can do that with Spam out of a tin, but this was different, the stuff we sold tasted as good as the real Spam, and now yoo go to Asda and buy Pork Luncheon Meat in those plastic packs, and it has no taste to it, it is like eating paper, to get the real taste of Pork Luncheon Meat, you have to buy the real Spam, and that is expensive, especially you cut half inch blocks off it
