I know that when my parents were having a hard time making ends meet, they served us Spam. This seems to be the case with many of us who grew up on the Mainland. You only got Spam when your folks were broke and you had nothing else to eat. It was one-week-til-payday food.
So it's mental. I can't speak for everyone, but eating Spam, in whatever shape or form, reminds me of hard times. Even fried, in shoyu? No thanks. I'll eat the rice plain, wrapped in nori.
The dried octopus and other dried things didn't please them either, but they did like the li hing mui.

The problem I have is that I like my Spam sliced very thin and fried to a crisp. None of the local eateries do it that way.
(Granted, sometimes I just slice it raw from the can and eat it as a sandwich ... with mustard.)

A friend married guy from the Boston area and came to Hawaii to visit the in-laws...they served SPAM for breakfast with eggs and he was SHOCKED I think the further east you go, the people don't like SPAM. I watched a SPAM festival on the Food network not too long ago...they sure made SPAM look Ono!

I tend to eat the Low Sodium version of Spam also in the blue can. Been known to eat the Turkey Spam too.

The one in the blue can I like.
