Ugh, i'm no great fan of Spam, but i'd eat that over tripe.

They love it in Italy, cut into strips and in thick tomato and basil
sauce.

It's still disgusting. I think it's the texture, more than the
taste ..

Only way I'll eat it is with salt, pepper and vinegar. Then, I think
it's rather tasty.

Spam is okay but as I age (I'm 62) I find that I notice (and can
taste) the enormous amounts of sodium in canned goods - especially
Spam. For example, a small can of baked beans supplies over 100% of
the recommended daily allowance of sodium. I can feel my body swell
up from just reading the label.

I live in Mexico, and tripe is a staple of "menudo". I don't care for
it, though.
