SPAM-Off - Good Clean (kinda) Family Fun
July 16, 2008
I was almost in shock, jealous even, of what I heard this Monday when talking to Lisa in the morning, catching up on the weekend’s events. She, a lovely and talented designer here at the Toad, relayed that she won first prize at a contest. What contest you ask? What else other than a SPAM-Off! The jealousy comes in not because she won a hilarious SPAM-Off, but because she does this annually with her family! I’m not sure about you, but in a world where family is less of a focus, it is so refreshing to see one having a great time together. I went so far as to tell my mom about it and she said, “why don’t we do a SPAM-Off.” I couldn’t help but think that maybe SPAM could be the ointment that cures the modern family’s worries. I hear it does wonders for your completion, why not your soul?
Anyway, the rules are these:
- Make a dish with a movie theme with SPAM as the star!
- All dishes must be prepared on site
- Three hours to prepare the dish
- BYOB, cool, table, canopy and cooking supplies
The flyer, that’s right I said flyer, is above and is worth a closer look – ‘cuz it has some pretty funny copy. I’ve also included a little slide show of the lovely Lisa and alluring Michele in their winning costumes – presentation is everything, Martha’s first creed!
Their winning dish was Arabian SPAM
Recipe - Tandoori SPAM Lettuce Wraps with Tzaziki Sauce

2) Steam jasmine rice
3) Tzaziki Sauce- plain yogurt, diced cucumbers, fresh mint, lemon juice
