I sincerely want to try this, but for real, that sauce ingredient list is way overboard for anything Spam related. Can I get a condensed version? Read more

I’m a bit of a Spamaholic myself, so I’m totally going to try this. I use the low sodium version these days, and to be honest, it is every bit as tasty as the regular kind. Read more
