Any suggestions for an IW member to be put forward?

Search for Spam fan

A nationwide search has been launched for the biggest fan of canned meat Spam.

The current title holder, 19-year-old student Andy McLindon, won after admitting to eating the chopped ham and pork product for almost every meal.

The contest is part of National Spam Appreciation Week to mark 61 years since it was introduced into the UK.

Spam first came to this country in March 1941 when the US Congress allowed its export to the Allied Forces during the Second World War.

Its makers claim Spam has enjoyed a "renaissance" in recent years with encouraging sales.

Andy McLindon, originally from Liverpool and now studying at Leeds University, is hoping to retain his title, which he won at last years Spammies - a ceremony for Spam devotees held in central London.

He said: "I just love the taste of Spam. It's so versatile, so you can cook it up in a stir fry, use it as a pizza topping or best of all just stick a fork into an open can and - hey presto - a Spam lolly."

His devotion to the product, it seems, is not alone, with a quarterly newsletter dedicated to Spam, website and fan club with 2,000 members.

Along with the contest there will also be a special Spammobile touring universities throughout the country and a prize for the Spam Chippie of the Year.

Lol, that's iteresting...

***"American Pie" style***

Go Neblette, it's your Spamday! :D

Nebbers, when I think of spam (which is infrequently) I always think of you, so here's my vote.

LOL, you guys were glad enough to get it then, in WWII. Still remember my father telling me of a signal that their destroyer, the U.S.S. Porter got when were escorting a Lend-Lease Convoy (back in 1940) from the Captain(D) of the British force sent to meet the convoy and escort it to England. It was, "Thanks, Yanks, cupboard is bare." Their reply was, "Eat hearty- Mother Hubbard." :D

Oh, by the way, Galadria told me to vote for Neb, so I do.

beaumanoir,that is a very,very bad thing to say.spam is good.GOOD I SAY!i grew up eating that stuff.in fact i have a can in the cabinet and it's calling my name.jimmy,jimmmyyyy.i must go.

And NEB wins, in the most one sided landslide in history. Aelia interviews Nebbie - "When did you come to realise that you were so good at this" she asks. "Easy", answers Mr Nebulous,"Just read the next 7 posts, and I will explain the three little clues which gave it away" ;) .

Cloudy wings her way over the Atlantic to cheer up a now disconsolate Donut (who thought he had the title in the bag). Cloudlet PM's Hugh, Memsie and Davros to find out why Donut is now wandering about muttering of Aussies winning darts tournaments and how nothing is sacred anymore.

Cloudy, I'm hurt. How could you imply that I would EVER post anything that could be likened to a cheap meat product? [img]graemlins/crying.gif[/img]
