I really like fried Spam slices as an accompaniment for pancakes or
waffles -- maybe even better than bacon. But it has to be the original
Spam, all the others (like the lower salt version) contain turkey meat.
The original Spam is just made with ham and pork shoulder.

Don't forget about canned kippers and sardines. I use them in place of
tuna since decent canned tuna is getting hard to find.

Kipper "steaks" are rather good on crackers.
