I agree Polly, Mark's done well. Also, nothing wrong with spam in the
right spot!

When Don goes fishing, I often make him this for him and the rest of
the boat.

Canned biscuits, enough for 3 each.
Sliced thin spam
Russian dressing or catalina spicy red dressing
A few drops of tobasco
eggs- beaten then cooked in butter and bacon fat, cut to fit

Sometimes it's ham or sausage but the spam works very well for a fast
meal for guys while fishing.
