SPAM Jam Far From Home
- wadE
An article on startribune.com
caught my eye today.
This Friday is the second annual SPAM Jam Street Festival along Waikiki Beach in Honolulu. If you weren't
already aware, Hawaii consumes the most SPAM per capita in the world! I'm sure Austin Minnesota is a close
second.
A snippet from MSNBC:
On Friday, April 23 from noon to 1 p.m., visitors in Waikiki will be invited to the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center to assist with the making, unveiling and, yes, eating of the world? longest SPAM musubi to kickoff the second annual Waikiki SPAM Jam street festival. (Musubi is a bizarre yet tasty island treat made up of sticky rice, seaweed, and SPAM formed into a snack cake.) Organizers hope to break the record of 300 feet, which will take nearly 800 cups of rice, over 1,300 slices of SPAM, and almost 600 feet of nori (seaweed wrap). More than 1,200 individual servings of musubi are expected to come from the giant snack, all of which will be served free to those attending. An official application has been requested from the Guinness Book of Records to document and record this most historic occasion. And what would be a SPAM event without SPAMMY, the six-foot tall official SPAM mascot? Chase him down ? heãœl be distributing free SPAM merchandise while supplies last.
Wow, sounds scary doesn't it? SPAM sushi was high on my list during my last trip to Hawaii, but I didn't
get a chance to have any. However I did hit the local McDonalds...
"I'll have a number 14 with orange juice please!"
Yum yum!
