HONOLULU - For many Americans, spam is a four-letter word for unwanted e-mail. In Hawaii, Spam is a beloved comfort food, with cans of the gelatinous pork bricks found in virtually every cupboard.

Hoping to cash in on Hawaii's love affair with the pinkish meat product, Burger King Corp. last month began offering Spam for breakfast — going head-to-head with rival McDonald's Corp., which has been featuring Spam in the islands for years.

Burger King is offering the Spam Platter — two slices of Spam nestled between white rice and scrambled eggs. The fast-food giant also offers the Croissanwich or Biscuit Sandwich with Spam.

Denise Yamauchi, Burger King managing director in Hawaii, said sales have been "very good and very promising."

LMAo...sounds good! XD

I tried Spam once. NEVER AGAIN. :bleh:

Awww.

So we won't invite Wynter Sensei when we do another Iron Chef (secret ingredient: Spam) party.

On a positive note, tried once and am giving the stamp of approval to Oidon in San Mateo, California.



Cheers, :drink:

I didn't know whether to post this in the food thread, what things bother you thread, or weird facts thread:[/list:u]Cucumber-flavored soda sold in Japan


TOKYO - Japanese are staying cool as a cucumber this summer with "Pepsi Ice Cucumber" &#8212; a new soda based on the crisp green gourd.


The soft drink, which hit stores here on Tuesday, doesn't actually have any cucumber in it &#8212; but has been artificially flavored to resemble "the refreshing taste of a fresh cucumber," said Aya Takemoto, spokeswoman of Japan's Pepsi distributor, Suntory Ltd.

"We wanted a flavor that makes people think of keeping cool in the summer heat," Takemoto said. "We thought the cucumber was just perfect."

The mint-colored soda is on sale just for the summer and only in Japan, Takemoto said. She said initial sales were brisk, and Suntory aims to sell 200,000 cases over the next three months.

XD i eat dried squid too..^^ it smells bad at first, but when you eat it, it kinda gets addicting. ^^ Nattou is nice too...haven't tried it but i've seen this t.v. segment where they put Nattou in a tank of dirty water and after a couple of mins. the water got cleaned up. ^^ really cool! its good for people AND for the environment.^^ now im craving for sushi... :puppydog:


<3 kiOkO

That's pretty cool. I didn't know that. :)

I do know however that if you add nattou + kkakdugi (kind of pickled daikon in kimchi) + rice + red bean bun for dessert = CH4 and lots of it. :sweat:
