Hawaii loves Spam

I must have been one of the very few mainlanders that was raised eating spam. Of course, it was just cut into slices and served as a cold side dish, which is very different than Hawaii. As for Hawaii, the spam capitol of the world, I think it started with World War II. Food was rationed and spam was easily obtained and had a long shelf life. It became a staple in the diet here. Anyway, it's usually fried and then put in stir fry or made into rice sandwiches called Spam Musubi. Well, here's another interesting concoction regarding spam. (Macadamia nuts are another staple in Hawaii. Just combining the two I guess.)
