Happy 70th Birthday Spam!


Spam (also known as "Chammoro Steak") is extremely popular in Micronesia. I have to guess that it was introduced during World War II, and it retained it's popularity here. One reason may be due to it's lack of need of refrigeration which can be spotty on the islands. For whatever reason more SPAM is consumed here per capita than any where else in the world. Our students eat their share of Spam as it is always included in the weekly groceries.
