Reply to comment by rapiertwit in TIL about Wacky cakes, (AKA crazy cakes), which were created as the result of rationing during World War II, and which are unique in that unlike many pastries and desserts, no eggs, butter or milk are used to make the cake batter. by abaganoush

My favourite dish when I went to Hawaii was Spam Musubi. Before my trip I had never dared to eat Spam. My regular diet consists mainly of healthy, unprocessed, completely from scratch meals.

I primarily cook from scratch but I love spam (more accurately, I like the Aldi brand). It's absolutely horrible for you so I only eat it 10-15 times per year.
