Well, then your spam is not my corned beef (or bully beef) after all. We do get a tinned ham but it is rather processed - I suppose it must be similar to that. Never imagined frying it!

Ingridave - your meal sounds awesome! Yesterday, hubby made a potjie (pronounced poy-kie) which is also a meal, done on the coals, in a big cauldron. Very South African!!

Tonight we scaled down and I made a humble but delicious shepard's pie (which we call cottage pie).
