I am a lifelong vegetarian and I'd say "Canned (spiced) ham. Traditionally viewed as the most tedious sort of meat, although quite popular in some places, especially where better meat used to be harder to get hold of." Which I feel gives some feel as to the texture, something like Big Macs (not in detail but) in that they might be a pleasantly straightforward meal sometimes but you wouldn't want to live on them.

Someone who'd actually eaten it might be able to describe what it's actually like to *eat* as well (or at least to smell, which I might happen to have done, though haven't) but the above seems to describe the salient features you have to know.

I gather from the post you're thinking about it being such a unique weird thing you can never conceive how it ever came to be.

I was more wondering how to describe the taste, other than by comparison to other meats. But these answers are amusing, particularly the Velveeta analogy!

Ah. Well, it's been a very successful post so far! :)

Well, it probably wouldn't help that much as we don't know what any other meat tastes like either. Except by smelling, which is probably a fairly good way, and of course we can do that to spam too, if we happen to want to for some perverse reason :)
