I think the 1 pounder is made up of pressed scraps and floor sweepings. Mrs BV wanted to know why I was serving her Spam.
Who on earth ever thought that putting meat in a can, and then pumping it so full of preservatives that it needs no refrigeration no less, was a good idea? I mean who was the guy who first said “hey, I know, let’s put a ham in a can and, even better, make it so it can last 100 years”?
