Message: [QUOTE="FfldCntyFan, post: 4170779, member: 71"] Having grown up in an Italian household, I first heard of spam when a commercial aired when a commercial for it aired in the mid 1970's (I'm 61, you can do the math on how old I was at the time) and had never heard of scrapple until after I entered the workforce as a college grad (nearly a decade later). I can say that I've never had either (I see this as neither good nor bad) but considering some of the things those of us from European descent have put on the dinner table, I would never look down on some other culture's food staples. One reality is that many items that are today viewed as 'Haute Cuisine' began as peasant food. [/QUOTE]
