In Chile, a Chinese version of Spam filled the supermarkets' (otherwise bare) shelves during Salvador Allende's difficult presidency (1970-'73). With little meat available in the cities, people ate this Chinese spam as a cheap substitute. They called it "chancho chino" ("Chinese piggy").


Chileans got so sick and tired of the stuff, they wholeheartedly abandoned it after Allende was overthrown in a military coup. To this day, Chileans refuse to eat Spam again, even the American version.

No wonder he was overthrown.lol

Why in Australia, I saw turkey Spam... is such a product sold in the US? I confess to being curious about the wonders of Spam, but I do not eat pork. [huh]
