Food or sex? Which would you give up?

[Whateverist]

I've never even had spam.

For me it's not the taste that is so unappealing, it's the bizarre unearthly weird-ass texture.  Nothing else has that consistency, tooth feel, and innate lubricity that Spam has.

Distubingly disturbing textural anomaly . . .

And yet ..

.. when you're coming into a high Sierra camp on the ninth day of a cross Sierra backpack trip, buy a can of spam and pull out your cook stove right on the rocks beside the Merced river for your first non-freeze dried meal in more than a week ..

.. it can be transcendent.  Even better than the M&M chocolate covered peanuts.
