You’re using potassium bromate in your Hormel Bacon Egg Cheese in Deli Bagel Hormel Black Label Breakfast Sandwiches ? A likely genotoxic and cancer causing additive that’s been banned in many places including the UK, European Union, Canada and Brazil? It might strengthen dough and make the finished product whiter, but if your customers are dead, they can’t buy more product. There are much safer alternatives. Please strongly consider removing KBrO3 from all products that currently have them.

Okay, since I dropped a review on electronic spam it 's only fitting that I make it rain for one of my lifelong fave breakfast meats too : Gotta love me some SPAM, I have been a big fan for as long as I can remember!! Hormel Foods and specifically SPAM celebrated its 85th birthday last week, can you believe it? I gotta say, for a six ingredient food product, it 's certainly taken on a life of its own. That tasty square shaped mash up of pork, water, salt, potato starch, sugar, and sodium nitrate had been satirized, alternately maligned, celebrated, musicalized, and even myth alized. (Okay made that word up ; I remember the urban legend that its name is actually an acronym for Scientifically Processed Animal Matter , not so much a big myth these days. Hormel himself claimed the product was named for a combination of the words spice and ham, despite the fact that neither ingredient appears in Spam. Hmmmmmmm George A. Hormel Co. became officially incorporated by 1901, processing whole hogs, beef, and sausage casings from its facilities in Austin, Minnesota. That 's where you 'll find a street called Spam Boulevard, a restaurant dubbed Johnny 's Spamarama, and some restaurants serving dishes like the Spam De ' Melt (a grilled cheese stuffed with Spam, bacon, and sour cream . It 's also home to the Spam Museum, is this Spamtown, USA?? : SPAM made it 's mark during World War II, when the US military purchased a variety of canned meats to feed troops overseas. Hormel 's report their numbers at 100 million pounds of Spam sent abroad to both American and Allied soldiers. It was during WWII, SPAM made its way to England and the countries of the Asian Pacific, where rationing and the presence of American troops saw the meat become a menu staple. Also having food that can survive in the tropical heat and be kept on a shelf for weeks and months was a really big deal. The history of how it came to Hawaii is sorted but it 's very popular has even been given its very own nickname, hawaiian steak. It was even on the menuat local Hawaiian McDonald 's or Burger King 's. In fact, Spam mania in Hawaii has sustained a decade old Spam festival in Waikiki, where chefs and Spam lovers gather to appreciate and explore its role in Hawaiian culture. Yes, there 's an annual Spam with 24,000+ attendees coming to sample dishes like Spam lettuce wraps, Spam and corn chowder, Spam and basil on Sicilian style pizza, and a dessert dubbed Mom 's Puerto Rican Spam flan. There 's even been experimental flavors tried there like Pineapple, Maui Snow, Macadamia Nut, and Hawaiian Rainbow but they didn 't make it to the permanent lineup. Sorry I missed those : In recent years Hormel has launched other flavors like Black Pepper, Jalapeño, and most recently, Chorizo and Teriyaki varieties. If you 've seen the meme of Pumpkin Spice Spam on the internet, it was a real thing, seriously. In 2019 Walmart and the official Spam website debuted a that novelty flavor, where they were selling it exclusively. It sold out in a matter of a few hours. I 'm glad I missed that one! Is it popular? More than 8 billion cans have been sold since the Hormel Corporation let the SPAM out in 1937 and it 's currently available in 44 countries throughout the world. Currently The World Eats 3 Cans of SPAM Every Second! Bottom line: I like SPAM and I think it 's cool to see the chefs in the foodie world coming up with new ways to make Spam dishes. I normally simply fry mine but sometimes I can be foundexperimenting too : If you 're thinking about experimenting with SPAM yourself and need something meaty, quick, versatile, and surprisingly delicious.

Yesterday my wife brought home a Hormel Teriyaki Pork Tenderloin. I carefully followed the cooking instructions printed on the package label. We ate the most tender and flavorful pork loin we have ever had. This is one of our favorite meals, and this one was the very BEST!!!!! Thank you all very much. Paul C.
