User Title Ladder - Part II

I had a good friend at school who was Samoan.
They love their (tinned) corn beef and taro leaves cooked in coconut cream
I can feel my arteries clogging up just thinking of this dish

I know this will greatly offend some but....

Growing up, my dad would occasionally cooked fresh cabbage and sliced onions with a tin of Corned Beef. He would also mix a tin of Corned Beef with diced onions and mayo, and eat that on crackers. I still enjoy doing both.

I'm not offended. But my mouth is watering. Darn you!

I thought Spam WAS the national dish of Hawaii

I grew up in Malaysia and love Spam and eggs
Unfortunately my wife doesn’t

To the first point: I am sorry your wife doesn't share your love of Spam. I am blessed to have a wife who enjoys Spam, though we try to get the low sodium stuff now.

To the second point: First in the military and then teaching in WA schools, I have encountered many different groups of Pacific Islanders and none of them would ever turn away a Spam dish. lol

I think the blame for Spam and tinned corned beef can be laid at the feet of the US Armed Forces during (and after) WW ll
After they “liberated” German Samoa

Not sure if sauerkraut ever took off in Samoa.
I never came across sauerkraut being served at any of the many Samoan feasts I attended

Agreed. I never even saw Kimchee much, but man do I love me some Kimchee.

I used to love Kimchee also, but with my last bought with stomach flu last week, the last thing I ate before getting sick was Korean with a heap of kimchee. Now, after throwing that up for two days, I don't think I will ever be able to eat it again. I'm just glad that I didn't eat pizza before getting sick.

My dad, son, and I all met up at the local Red Robin for a burger. That night I ate a particularly rich pineapple dump cake my wife had made. The Red Robin almost killed me, but it was the poor cake coming up that my body associated with the poison and I cannot stand the thought of. It was the burger because my kid and dad all got sick and I was the only one who ate the cake. I feel for you, man. Flus and food poison are a bitch.
