Everything you ever wanted to know about SPAM®
SPAM® first came to the UK following the passing of the 'Lend-lease' act by the US Government in 1941. The aim of the act was to aid the allied forces in Britain and Russia during WWII.
For the British public, struggling to get to terms with life on rations, SPAM® was a tasty and welcome addition to their diet. Its long life and ability to liven up a variety of dishes is still as much a key to its popularity now as it was then.
