I went with my toaster oven because my kitchen hasn\u2019t moved into the present with all those fancy doodads, like them Instagram Neti Pots and sous-veni-vidi-vici cookers.<\/p>\n<p>The breading isn\u2019t heavily seasoned, so the porky and slightly greasy SPAM flavor comes through, but it\u2019s dampened a little from the coating. The crust also covers up the pinkness of the processed pork product, which has known to turn off taste buds. The breading also has a satisfying crispiness, especially along the edges, that maintained its texture with curry. In the breakfast sandwich, not surprisingly, it tasted like the canned meat in a breakfast sandwich. Although, the patty looked kind of ridiculous in it.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/SPAM-Breaded-Pork-Patties-Sandwich.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"SPAM Breaded Pork Patties Sandwich\" title=\"SPAM Breaded Pork Patties Sandwich.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Of course, if you hate SPAM, these aren&#8217;t going to change your mind about the product.<\/p>\n<p>I regularly eat SPAM, but I don\u2019t buy cans of it because the introvert in me hates having to ask store employees to release a few from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.civilbeat.org\/2017\/10\/denby-fawcett-why-spam-is-now-under-lock-and-key-at-oahu-stores\/\">under lock and key<\/a>.
