SYMHC Classics: A Culinary History of Spam
This 2014 episode covers the invention of the canned meat known as Spam. The Hormel Foods product was invented in the 1930s to make use of a surplus of shoulder meat from pigs, and was an instant hit in the U.S. and abroad. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
