SPAM is Back!

Yes.  I am talking about SPAM, the food, not spam as in junk e-mail.  In this economy, their production is up dramatically to levels they haven’t seen since WWII.  But, according to the NY Times, there are lots of thrifty food items that are seeing increased success:

• Macaroni and cheese
• Jello
• Instant potatoes
• Velveeta
• Rice
• Beans
• Kool-Aid
• Vitamins
• Beer

Probably not the right grocery list to create a balanced meal.
