Bourbon Spam

[jakerthesnaker79]

So this may be a bit random. But I was clearing out my promotion inbox in gmail today and scrolled through it - just about every one of the emails had something about this bourbon beating Pappy in a blind tasting or that bourbon outscoring Pappy in this festival. Does anyone else find this oddly disturbing?

I mean would it hurt someone to send a spam email with - "this is just a really good solid bourbon - for the money" - "this is the best value buy around", "this exemplifies this style/type/profile" - I never see that side of things on these advertisments or emails - do yall?

Is this just one more thing to chalk up to pappymania?

Even more difficult question - how could this be changed or improved (for the whiskey geeks and masses)?

Happy Friday!

And sometimes, it's the "Irish Pappy"...

[flahute]

Ah yes....Casker's, where everything is overpriced because it's a triple medal winning Pappy beater.

I saw "The Pappy Van Winkle of tequila" on a website yesterday.

A store recently referred to its product as the Pappy Van Winkle of cheese. I don't remember which store, but apparently they weren't the first.

I thought this thread was going to be about a new flavor of the Hormel semi-edible (but that's arguable) product.

Well, then, . . .

Has anybody tried poaching Spam in bourbon?

I too was looking forward to reading about a pairing or infusion that involved SPAM (or "Something Posing As Meat") I mean, it is as salty as bacon. I could see a bourbon glaze adding a nice touch!

[BFerguson]

I should sell Hormel a bottle of Pappy for a very special run of Pappy infused Spam. They're just down the road a bit from me.

Now that would be something! Too over the top of it came in velvet bags? But only some of course, those would be more collectable obviously!

Get a load of this. The Pappyization of cars now:

Not kidding. Here's a snippet--"Call it Pappy Van DeLorean’s 12-Year Muscle Sedan, 90 proof. It’s small-batch, too."

I'm confused. I thought PVW was the Cadillac of bourbon.

Hey Dude! Don't be rippin' on SPAM! (The canned meat-like product; not the junk e-mail stuph.) You'll have the whole state of Hawaii all over your sorry butt. Just a warnin'.

And me! Spam is the perfect bourbon tasting snack. Salty just like Four Roses' tortilla chips and plenty of fat to help line the gut. Fry up some Spam and add a bit of cheez whiz and you have the perfect bourbon pu pu platter! :shocked:

Oh man, that makes me think of spending time with my Grandparents in Tuscaloosa - they grew up during the depression (as many of their generation did) and saved everything...I mean everything...I remember this one weekend when they fried up some SPAM and my brother and I just recoiled in fear...

[GaryT]

Not much beats a fried SPAM & cheese on rye. :yum:

I've always felt that bourbon pairs well with Lobster Thermidor aux crevettes with a Mornay sauce, garnished with truffle pâté, brandy and a fried egg on top, and Spam.

Works for me! But might need more Spam...

I can't find anything about Bourbon Spam, but I did find Bourbon BBQ Vienna Sausages:

Oh, no, Don't Shoot. Now, I've got an OTHER thing I've got to carry when I go fishing. Thank goodness for fly fishing vests - all those pockets. Now, anybody know where I can get a floating flask that fits in a hip pocket?

I spent last weekend at camp with my sons-in-law ... and fried spam, taters and bourbon were consumed! Initially we were planning on squirrel, taters and bourbon ... but the little critters didn't like the wind and snow on the top of the mountain.

Somewhere, out there in the Multiverse, Jack Nicholson is a guest on Monty Python and appears in the Spam skit, reprising his role as Bobby Dupea from Five Easy Pieces. Eric Idle plays Dupea's sidekick, Palm Apodaca.

Dupea: Well, what've you got?

Waitress: Well, there's egg and bacon; egg sausage and bacon; egg and Spam; egg bacon and Spam; egg bacon sausage and Spam; Spam bacon sausage and Spam; Spam egg Spam Spam bacon and Spam; Spam sausage Spam Spam bacon Spam tomato and Spam; Spam Spam Spam egg and Spam; Spam Spam Spam Spam Spam Spam baked beans Spam Spam Spam; or Lobster Thermidor aux crevettes with a Mornay sauce, garnished with truffle pâté, brandy and a fried egg on top, and Spam.

Dupea: I'd like a, uh, the Lobster Thermidor with bourbon instead of brandy.

Waitress: No substitutions.

Dupea: What do you mean? You don't have any bourbon?

Waitress: Only what's on the menu. It comes with brandy.

Dupea: Yeah, I know what it comes with, but it's not what I want.

Waitress: Well, I'll come back when you make up your mind.

Dupea: Wait a minute. I have made up my mind. I'll take the Lobster Thermidor, Spam Spam Spam and Spam.

Vikings: Spam spam spam spam...

Waitress: I'm sorry. It only comes with one helping of Spam.

Vikings: ...Spam Spam Spam Spam....

Dupea: Then I'll take three helpings of Spam on the side.

Vikings: ...SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM....

Waitress: We don't do side orders of Spam.

Vikings: Lovely Spam! Wonderful Spam!

Dupea: Then I'll take an order of the Lobster Thermidor and Spam and an order of Spam Spam Spam egg and Spam, but on that hold the egg and one helping of Spam.

Vikings: Lovely Spam! Wonderful Spam!

Waitress: [to Vikings] SHUT UP! [Vikings stop] Bloody Vikings! [to Dupea] You can't order that without the egg and all of the Spam.

Dupea: But I don't want the egg or that much Spam.

Palm Apodaca: Hey, Mac, don't cause a scene. I'll take the egg and extra Spam.

Waitress: No sharing!

Dupea: I don't want the egg.

Waitress: You want me to hold the egg, huh?

Dupea: I want you to hold it between your knees.

Vikings: Egg and knees! Knees and egg! Spam Spam Spam Spam...
