The story of SPAM is fascinating and deeply intertwined with the history of the 20th century. Introduced in 1937 by Hormel Foods Corporation in response to the growing demand for preserved meat with a long shelf life, SPAM rose to fame during World War II as a staple in American soldiers’ rations. Its durability and ease of transport made it indispensable on the fronts of Europe and the Pacific. After the war, millions of cans found their way into civilian homes, and SPAM became a fixture in kitchens around the globe—especially in regions where American troops had been stationed, such as the Philippines, South Korea, and Hawaii. In the Philippines, SPAM became a culinary staple that blends traditional dishes with modern influences and is often served for breakfast with fried rice and egg (SPAMsilog).
