mmm-yoso!!! is a food blog. Kirk is busy, ed(from Yuma) is busy and Cathy has some free time.
The other day, after posting about America's SPAM™ Championship at the County Fair (at the bottom of the post), I was wanting more than a simple SPAM™ breakfast, even though I now had some ideas for a more complicated use of the delightful canned pork and ham product.
The Mister and I were at Westfield Parkway Plaza, out here in East County. I saw this sign at Hula Hawaiian BBQ, in the Food Court.
$1 for SPAM™ musubi. I think there were restricted days or hours. Anyhow, I was in the right place at the right time and ordered two pieces (the regular price is two pieces for $3).
The warm rice topped with a nice teriyaki sauce, topped with a thick slice of grilled SPAM™ and wrapped with a strip of seaweed- a perfect combination of flavors and texture and great food at a crazy inexpensive price. Satisfied my craving...
Until two days later, when I went with a friend to Chopstix Too and was told to order "anything I craved".
So, I chose the tofu salad ($4.25) (A very good size lettuce salad with par-boiled broccoli and shredded carrots and red cabbage as well as chopped tomatoes topped with about half a pound of a very silken tofu. There is salad dressing on each table here and I added it to the lettuce after enjoying it plain.)
as well as SPAM™ roll ($3.95) (apparently a 'log' of raw SPAM™ with radish and avocado rolled in seaweed then rice and sesame). This was excellent, and exactly what I wanted.
I hope everyone gets to fulfill a craving when they are out and about. It's a great way to live.

Thank you for the post. I was waxing nostalgic for musabi with some midwesterners yesterday.

Glad to help out, EmilyK.
The ingredients of "basic" SPAM™ are pork and ham, Bill. I had some for breakfast today.
Hi cc- I love SPAM™ fried rice. I usually order the #30 breakfast at Sam Woo, fried rice made with 'meat product'. Similar but fake SPAM™ is used.
