In the U.S. there are specific labelling differences between burgers and patties. Patties can contain the less popular parts of the moo cow, but it's still technically all beef. Burgers are the higher quality (non organ) meats.

momwolf lived in Hawaii for three years in the 50s, while my father was in the Air Force (he had something to do with cloud sampling to figure out if the Russkies were doing atomic testing). She said Spam was a delicacy there, mainly because it was easier to ship cans of Spam than cows. She used to make a mean can of Spam, did momwolf.

Crud. Now I'll have to get some for the nostalgia.

Most of the chippies around here sell spam fritters. It's still pretty popular.

Ages ago when I taught a largish number of Korean students, they would occasionally invite me to make-it-yourself sushi parties. My favourite part was when they would pull out the can of Spam and say "this is traditional Korean food" as they added it to the ingredients. This still cracks me up.

All this reminds me that we are having some scrapple with our Christmas breakfast this year.

We'll have scrambled eggs, and scrapple, and cut up grapefruit and oranges fruit salad, and moravian sugar cake. But the scrapple is a special treat this year. We don't usually do that.

Scrapple is yummy goodness.

It's awesome if you slice it thin and get it crispy on the sides. I don't care for the soggy thick stuff.

Tasted like scrapple - didn't it? Or is it Treet?

Ohhh scrapple. I can't find that stuff down here anywhere - and I get a craving for it every now and again. Not many PA dutch folks in Central NC

I've heard it's pretty much the same as liver mush. (I've also heard that's complete bullshit. Whatever--as far as I'm concerned they can have each other.)

These look like a better bet.
