You’re probably thinking, “whoa cowboy, nothing’s better than SPAM.” And until yesterday I would have never agreed, but now I don’t agree even more. There’s an old saying about American indians using every part of the buffalo. It’s usually trotted out to illustrate how wasteful American culture has become but it’s time to retire that ridiculous idea. Here’s 69\u00a2 worth of evidence, three ounces to a can.<\/p>\n
Unlike the other food products available to the modern grocery shopper, Libby’s brand potted meat food product boasts:<\/p>\n
\nMechanically separated chicken, pork skin, partially defatted cooked pork fatty tissue, partially defatted cooked beef fatty tissue, vinegar, less than 2% of: salt, spices, sugar, flavorings, sodium erythorbate and sodium nitrite<\/p>\n

With concert of flavor the first four ingredients offer it’s a wonder that they have to add flavorings including spices and flavorings. But don’t doubt the cooks at Libby’s! They’re a part of the family! You wouldn’t doubt the good people at Carnation who put milk in a can would you? Or how about Toll House chocolate chips? Nestl\u00e9 is responsible for\u00a0 those family classics and your new favorite potted meat food product is theirs too. Nestl\u00e9 quality IS potted meat food product quality.<\/p>\n
Previous to my arrival on Siapan I’ve had a pretty strict vegetarian diet. So perhaps you’re\u00a0 thinking, “Kevin is really getting behind this meat food product, he must be a fan.” You’re right, I am a fan. Now you may think, “how does it taste?” Well, let me just say, modestly, I’m glad that I never have to find out. That’s because seven years ago someone else survived a taste test<\/a> and you can read all about it on his site.<\/p>\n
The next time your stomach is growling, try the food product you know will be satisfyingly pink and creamy: Libby’s potted meat. It hits a spot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
