Monday night or any night will be less blue if you take this helpful hint. The way to serve at dinner that's easy to prepare is to remember the name Spam. S-P-A-M. Spam is delicious meat that comes in a handy can, tender taste tempting meat that's simply grand to eat. Just open the can,
stud the Spam with cloves, place it in a shallow baking dish and slip it in the oven. The easy recipe is right on the label. In just a few minutes you'll have meat for dinner that will tempt tired appetites. There's extra goodness in spam because it's a perfect combination of pork shoulder meat and ham.
That gives spam a flavor all its own. So when you want to give the family a special dinner that's especially good, serve spam, S-P-A-M. Get a can or two when you shop tomorrow. MUSIC Now George and spams meat heart, Gracie!
