Spam
I meant to tell this story earlier but I got bogged down in other things.
RSM Vic Jackson MM, was a great story teller and always had at least one tale to tell us when he visited our museum. One of the stories was about Spam and the many different ways that the cooks prepared it. One way was to dip it in batter and fry it. Vic dubbed it "Horse Cock"
Some time later I invited him to be our guest speaker at a dinner that I used to co-host with Harry Sershall. The main course was always roast beef but for Vic that night the girls cooked up some "Horse Cock" for him, he got a big laugh out of it but would not eat it.
As an aside his son is a Lt-Col in the Canadian Army and was stationed in Indonesia when the Tsunami struck, he was able to give us a first hand account of the destruction.
