Spamtastic: The History of SPAM®


Listen Later

It is hard to think of another ingredient that falls so firmly into the "you either love it or you hate it" category than SPAM®. It's an ingredient that owes its existence in part to the French revolution, and its incredible success to the Second World War.

In this episode, our host, Simon Majumdar, follows the history of SPAM® back to the origins of food preservation and right up to its resurgence in popularity as it hits its 80th Anniversary.
