Mureng4-
I STAND CORRECTED!! I confused the SPAM with canned "corned beef". It was THAT that spoiled on me. frown

This is what I just discovered on this web site:

QUOTE:
Spam is an important protein source and economical as well. Unopened cans require no refrigeration and Spam has an indefinite shelf life because it is heat-sealed within the tin. It can, therefore, be shipped all over the world without spoiling.

Please, forgive the remarks I made about it spoiling.

cordially, A.P2 wink
