“It’s in Hawaii because of the war, the GI’s and rationing; that’s why it became a meat staple. In the Philippines it was the same thing…It’s not any worse than hot dogs, you know.

The dessert was served in a Spam can… You had to be there.” —BLT corporate executive chef, Rodelio Aglibot, on regional allegiances to the famous canned meat.
