Why do Filipinos (well, most of them) fry their canned SPAM?

not only spam but a lot of food that really dont need cooking for some like century tuna, corned beef, etc

its because of every mother's belief that to cook is to kill any bacteria in the food that may be present and to kill the bacteria is by cooking it

that's why a lot of households in the provinces also boil water, etc before cooling for drinking

Because we Filipinos like SPAM while it's rather hot than cold SPAM. Because newly fried or heated SPAM give of an aroma that makes us hungry.

I don't think it just them, in the U.K. Spam is eaten both hot and cold, as a child we ate it a lot I suppose because it was a cheap meal.

I am one of them. It's just tastier when its fried, especially if you serve it with plain steamed rice. Yum!!!

I love fried SPAM! Because frying it helps enhance its flavor plus it goes yummy with hot steaming rice or sinangag (fried rice)--Filipino style. And I think it's more filling if it goes with rice instead of buns. Spam, sunnyside up, sinangag, plus a condiment made of suka (vinegar) and toyo (soy sauce). Yumyum.

Because it tastes good and is the absolute easiest way to cook anything ! Why spend 20 min setting up a bbq for a healthy meal when frying is so much easier. Wonder why most Pinoys have "high blood" . ROFL

We do fry our Spam. It goes well with sinangag (garlic friend rice) and scrambled eggs. That's perfect breakfast for me. I guess you could say we have gotten used to it. The only way I could eat Spam right out of the can is when I use it as sandwich filling...goes so well with mayo, lettuce & tomatoes. Or when we serve it as cold cuts.

Binibini

eeewww not me. It's pork.

not only do we fry it here at our home, we make sure its crispy around the edges too!!! yummmmmmy! that's the best part.

i tried it at other houses where they sprinkle a little sugar on it while its frying and that tastes good too!

we like our spam with rice (preferably sinangag- fried rice with garlic) and pork & beans!!! mmmmm :-)

Because we find it more delicious when fried besides it is good for the body the food you eat is cooked.

because most of us dont have microwave oven and frying is the next practical thing to do to heat it.we filipinos loves eating hot food we associate hot food with fresly cooked food.

It's the easiest way to cook it.

I like Turkey SPAM for my veggie salad and sandwich.

Original SPAM for my fried rice.

i'm one of them. i do so because it tastes much better than just reheating it. i guess frying releases the spices more.

Because most of us Filipinos loves -silogs for breakfast like spamsilog (Spam,fried garlic rice and egg), tapsilog (beef jerky, fried garlic rice and egg).. and so much more. Simple and tasty. Your Q is making me hungry. lol <*-*>

No wonder when you look around, there are so much obesed people. and what's with making children grow sooo fat? they say it's cute... i say it's gross!
