Cheap eats and a meat ship
In these troubled economic times, we're all looking for ways to cut costs. One easy solution is to spend less on food.
But does that mean mealtime needs to become monotonous?
Heck no!
What would you say to a hearty bean soup, or perhaps some sophisticated cucumber-avocado sandwiches? They can be yours, as long as you have that magical, indestructable pantry staple: Spam.
Yep, get your fill of gelatinous meat-like-food-product menu ideas at spamrecipes.net, where you'll learn:
How about something with an exotic Asian element? Beef and Broccoli Stir-Fry, or Lo Mein, or Taco Ramen Salad?
Okay, the last one gives it away; we're talking Ramen recipes in all their high-sodium glory.
Still, who can say no to Chicken Hollandaise Ramen, all Frenchified with egg yolks, lemon juice and margarine?
Or, for a special occasion, Creamy Chicken Ramen:
1 package chicken ramen noodles
2 cups water
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 3oz. can mushrooms
Cook noodles according to package directions and drain. Heat soup concentrate, mushrooms and 1/4 seasoning packet over medium heat for five minutes. Top noodles with sauce.
Mm-mmm good! (And big thanks to Mike for finding the above and thinking, Hey, LimeyG would like these.)
But there are times when delicate dishes of chicken and pineapple and canned mushrooms just aren't enough; when even the most thrifty gourmand seeks something more satisfying.
For these occasions, it's worth checking out This Is Why You're Fat, a fantastic photographic picnic basket of artery-clogging, metabolism-slowing, sleep-inducing dishes (or handfuls, or things on sticks) guaranteed to fill you up.
Example: Gravy-covered pizza.
Example: The bacon donut.
Example (and my particular favorite): The meat ship, created from sausage, bacon, pastry and ground pork.
Ahoy, me heart(attack)ies!

- The secret behind the Hawaiian Spam Sandwich (psst: it's pineapple)
- The mystery of the Polynesian Bake (apricots, maraschino cherries and more pineapple)
- And the complex distinction between the Hot Spam Sandwich and the Cold Spam Sandwich (hint: in one, the Kraft Sandwich Spread is optional).

Oh, the irony of following two posts on eating a pig's head with a diatribe against a meat ship and bacon donuts!
Ahem, excuuuse me, but that was no diatribe. That donut looked fantastic. The site also celebrates bacon ice cream and bacon-choc-chip cookies--and I say kudos!
