Sounds like a case of 'Wham bam, thank you spam'.

Monty Python did a whole sketch around spam, which no doubt some of us will remember. As I recall there were Vikings involved.

I have a Swiss friend who thought spam was just computer jargon so I bought a tin and made her eat some, and made myself eat some. We couldn't manage the whole tin, the dog got the rest.

Hawaiians love spam the most.

And it’s true: about 6 million cans of SPAM are eaten each year in Hawaii ( source ). That’s around 5 cans per person in Hawaii. The amount of SPAM eaten here is no joke – when SPAM goes on sale for around $1.79/can, I always see empty shelves at the grocery store.

When I think of spam, I think of poverty.

The brexit looks like it’s in its end game.
Unbelievably, the UK still hasn’t strikken a deal; something that is so daft I’m not even going to go into it.

But UK farmers rely on EU subsidies. They’re going to stop (no matter what sort of a deal is coughed up at the last minute). And the UK isn’t going to pay subsidies to the farmers.

Fresh food is going to be a drama ...[text shortened]... ybe invest in massive pork and chicken farms or something unpleasant).

Best start rationing. "It's a very special pig!"
I was driving down a country road one day and noticed a farmer walking along side the road and with him was a three legged pig. Curiosity got the best of me, I stopped the car to ask about his three legged pig..... Oh this pig is a special pig!! you see awhile back our house caught fire while we slept and this here pig broke down the door and dragged us all out to safety! That's a great story I said but that doesn't explain his missing leg? Well you see said the farmer, a pig like this you just don't eat all at once.......

Pudding? You are that optimistic?
I had a Steak snd Kidney pudding for dinner just a couple nights ago. Pudding always makes me optimistic, I just can’t help myself.

The UK has imported more than half of its food since the Victorian era. Prices might change, but not actual availability.

I’m sure availability won’t be impacted...

Home made? I found it difficult to find good bought ones although Hollands puds from chip shops in the north were not bad.
Fray Bentos tinned ones don't really count but occasionally a sentimental childhood memory forces me to eat one against my will.

No I’m pretty sure we got them from M & S if not it would have been Tesco, very decent though.
No I don’t like the canned ones. I have made my own but their never as good as my Nan used to make. I’m not sure I could find enough family members to help me eat one of Her monster puds.
