There’s no shortage of recipes for Spam®, in fact there are entire cookbooks devoted to them. Spam has a poor reputation in the UK, although it’s considered a delicacy in some Pacific countries. Monty Python’s Spam song has a lot to answer for with its never-ending list of bland and boring meals containing Spam. This recipe for Spam and potato fritters is enlivened by the addition of chilli pepper and the accompanying spicy pineapple jam.

Never heard of this but looks great!
I remember when opening a Spam can was like opening a corned beef can. lol. The pineapple relish would be yummy with fish tacos.
How about attempting a homemade pizza. NO SWEETCORN!! 😊
I don’t think I’ve ever had spam. Our processed “pork” product when I was a kid was Pek, I think it was a Polish concoction. There was always a huge tin in the Christmas hamper we got each year.
That does look pretty good to me. Cheers, Keef!
I have lots of fond memories eating spam fritters chips and peas or baked beans ❤️👍🏼
Keef I actually have made “spam” type bologna recipe from Debbie’s back porch even made an olive loaf lunch sandwich meat from it and I thought it passed the test but Charlie is a Oscar Myer purist when it comes to what he puts in a butty. 😡
Now you are talking. Forget the Quiche. Charlie will most likely be having these out the back before the big show today. He will be watching this now.
How about splitting them in half and putting the relish in the middle?
Found it less of a hassle to just slice the SPAM the long way in the can. It cuts and slides out and you can leave the rest in.
Hi Keef I've never had spam full stop. Never had rissoles either. Had a lovely weekend xx
Looks delicious Keef.
Ahh Rissoles
Is there a reason British folks double the L in Chili?
Plant the top of the pineapple in a warm sheltered spot. You never know it may grow. Greenhouse?
Looks good, should have been the coronation dinner!
Cue monty python reference
I has going to say you are making corn beef hash with spam! I'm not a big fan of spam! Remember having it like luncheon meat with a salad or in sandwiches and as the "classic" fritters as a kid neither i would say was to my palette! I also remember mum used to make fish cakes with a tin of pilchards ( the whole lot skin,fish bones and tomato sauce) mashed potato and s&p. Were very tasty but i had to close my eyes as i am sweemish about bones and skin. I guess all recipies like this were about stretching out the expensive protein with tatoes!
"Horrible green vegetable"– some folk might give you grief for that but, I heartily concur with that description. My wife is a chardoholic who tried to get me to eat the stuff but it sticks in my throat.
Ate Spam as a kid and, as an adult, gave it a shot by making Spam musubi which you might give a try sometime: Spam slices fried in a teriyaki-type sauce, put atop portions of short grain rice & wrapped with bits of dried seaweed.
Just a thought. Cheers!
Quite a few recent videos with jazz music in them – are we entering the Keefcooks Jazz era?
Hi Keef those look really good & I was only looking at Spam in the ASDA last week, First thought was bleddy hell that's gone up in price since the last time I bought some which was a while ago to be honest.
I'm going to have a go at making these as they will go down well for a teatime meal.
Thanks for the video.
Hey this looks surprisingly healthy! Maybe it's all the vegetables, haha.
Keef I think you're supposed to use a bit of oil in the air fryer to get "fried" results, but you only need like half or a third of what you use in the pan.
I haven't had Spam for years. It was something we had when I was growing up, and always on the menu at least once every camping trip. Tjat pineapple relish looks delicious! Great idea to char it first. I might try that the next time i make it to go with pork carnitas.
Poke a hole in the bottom or the can near the rim and give it a puff of air and the loaf will slid right out.
Keef you superstar you could be the new face of the Spam TV ads now with this?
If you make a hole in the bottom of the can, you will remove the vacuum that is holding the Spam in.
Tip for getting spam or corned beef out of the can easily; get a bottle opener (the kind with the point for punching a hole in cans of juice) and pop 1-2 holes in the bottom of the meat tin. Slides right out.
