Today's the 75th anniversary of that nugget from the Golden Age: SPAM. Originally marketed simply as Hormel Spiced Ham, it was renamed and re-released on July 5th, 1937.
So, in the words of an ad from the time: "What's the treat for dinner? SPAM!"

Yep, a favorite. Don't know how much I've fried up over the years.
SPAM is a good substitute to use like bacon, fry it until it's well done and crispy and it's kind of like bacon
and keeps for a long time on the shelf, good to stock up for emergency rations
SPAM is actually quite close to some forms of cheap pate, in particular France's cousin to SPAM, Pate Henaff!
