I detect a faint SPAM smell in the air. Must be that time of year.

I used to like Spam, with some cloves forced in, and some hot pineapple/brown sugar sauce poured over. If you'll hold him down...

UK relaunches WWII staple Spam

Wednesday, November 3, 2004 Posted: 0200 GMT (1000 HKT)

LONDON, England (Reuters) -- Spam, the luncheon meat which valiantly sustained Britain's war effort only to suffer so cruelly at the hands of Monty Python, is being relaunched in the UK.

A £2 million campaign will feature the first TV adverts for the brand, portraying it as quintessentially British despite the fact it was invented in America and is now largely produced in Denmark.

"It celebrates all things British from camping to the great British institution of the pantomime," Spam said of the adverts.

"With the new ad we will remind lapsed users about the delicious taste of Spam whilst raising awareness amongst new users," said senior brand manager, Marianne Pollock.

Spam estimates the brand is worth £13.3 million in the UK, where sales are growing 9.7 percent a year against a declining market for canned meat.

First produced in 1937 by Hormel Foods Corp of the United States, Spam became an institution during World War II when it was rammed into square cans to save shipping space.

Hormel shipped 15 million cans of food to soldiers each week, and Soviet Union leader Nikita Khrushchev credited Spam with saving the Russian army from starvation, the firm says on its Web site www.spam.com.

The chopped meat gave its name to junk e-mail because of a sketch by British comedy troupe Monty Python's Flying Circus in which singing Vikings kept drowning out a waitress offering dishes such as spam, egg, spam, spam, bacon and spam.
