.After years of bully beef, American Spam was considered a luxury item. Maggie recalls Spam as a wartime delicacy.

Having had a supermarket shopping delivery yesterday with about 1/3 of the items 'swapped' I'm guessing there are shortages of items all over.

Your lucky I got a LOT of stories, about the food the flies and everything else about the North African Desert. In fact I have no need to visit myself I feel I have experienced it already.I've been rumbled

It wasn’t a hard story to unpick. You’d be very old if it was true.I've been rumbled

How many desert rats are still alive. Can’t be very many.

Strange, we've just had a delivery & it's the first time this year we've not had any swaps, all the order fulfilled, including a bottle of Brandy which I hadn't ordered & tried to return, but was told he had no idea whose it was & I should just keep it.

They used to sell it in our local chippie when I was a kid. Great stuff, with the added bonus of being so unhealthy, especially with extra batter scraps.

My favourite meal is corned beef stew. Chunky home made vegetable stew with large chunks of corned beef added for the last five minutes. Even my two year old granddaughter loves it.

TBH my local Sainsbury's branch has been hit'n'miss on stock of fully skimmed milk for years. Never seem to be short of semi or full fat though, which is weird?

I loved Spam fritters when I was a sproglet.
About 23 years ago, the chip shop around the corner from work did them, so I did the deed one lunchtime.
Ye Gods! It was like deep-fried lard soaked in oil, then battered in more lard.
I was underwhelmed.
