The makers of Spam, saying that their “special relationship with the Hawaiian community spans decades,” have donated over 264,000 cans to aid the disaster-relief efforts on Maui, the company said in a press release.

        When I lived on the big island, even McDonald’s had spam options on their menu.

          When I lived there rice with fried spam eggs and shoyu was a staple. And also delicious.

      Believe it or not, Hawaii actually does like SPAM! It goes back to the military presence on the islands during WWII where it gained cultural significance.
