THE STORY OF SPAM IN HAWAII Spam was first introduced to Hawaiian natives during World War II, when American soldiers brought it (they called it Ham that didn t pass its physical ) as part of their military rations. Because it is a portable, durable, nonrefrigerated meat product, it was perfect for these islands so far from the mainland. And, since pork is Spam s main ingredient, it fit in well with the Asian foods which also were an important part of Hawaiian cuisine. Today, the average Hawaiian consumes roughly 5.6 cans of Spam each year. Spam is so popular there that you will often find it on restaurant menus where it is sometimes dubbed The Hawaiian Steak. Indeed, there are varieties of Spam (Spam Hot & Spicy, Spam with Cheese, Spam Hot Dogs??!) which are unavailable elsewhere, but are stacked high on Hawaiian grocery shelves. Boy Scouts know that Spam is a delicious ingredient of any meal, and a staple of any camp kitchen. This year s Hawaiian Luau Klondike honors Spam s place in Hawaii and in Scouting with two additional competitions A SPAM cook-off and a SPAM Haiku contest. These competitions are open to all Scouts and all Scouters, and all Troops and Crews! Don t miss your chance to bring honor and glory to your unit! The competition takes place at a site to be determined. Information about the site will be provided at the SPL meeting on Friday, January25. All cooking must be done on-site, starting any time after 2:00 p.m. Judging will take place at 3:30 p.m.

8 COOK-OFFRULES 1. Spam must be a featured ingredient. Yum! 2. Any method of cooking grilling, frying, foil-broil, dutch oven, you-name is acceptable. 3.

Each entry is automatically entered in all categories (except Scout-only Spam).You may win in more than one! 8. In case of a Spam dish tie, the entry with the best Spam Haiku poem will be declared the winner. 9. All judges decisions are final. No arguing. SPAM HAIKU POETRY Spam is so delicious; it has inspired poets from around the world! Spam Haiku Poetry is the ultimate expression of respect for our favorite meat product. Submit your original Spam Haiku Poem as a required part of your cook-off entry, or just to show off your mad Haiku skills. All poems should be written neatly and submitted no later than 3:45 p.m. Saturday. Writer s Cramp? Here are a few Spam Haikus to inspire you: Jelly for mortar seven hundred tins and more I build a Spam house Above all others porcine treat without equal There is but one Spam And who dares mock Spam? You? you? you are not worthy of one rich pink fleck Grotesque pinkish mass In a blue can on a shelf Quivering alone Ears, snouts, and innards, A homogenous mass Pass another slice Old man seeks doctor I eat Spam daily, he says. Angioplasty Oh tin of pink meat I ponder what you maybe: Snout or ear or feet? Slicing your sweet self Salivating in suspense Sizzle, sizzle...spam
