========================
 JM> The Spam-mobile visited Amherst, NY several weeks ago

Round, round, round, it gets around. Or are there a few
that get dispatched according to the schedules of the
various fairs and the various supermarkets that will
tolerate their presence.

 JM> Wegman's it was visiting. I did try a Spam sandwich,
 JM> but they were doing themselves no help with these,
 JM> as the barely-warmed Spam was served on a slice of
 JM> very fresh white-bread hot-dog bun. Mmmm. Squishy
 JM> meat on a squishy bun!

I figure the guys are paid to drive, not to be short order
cooks. But what a great idea: have the Armour Treet people
fit out a Spam-mobile and serve squishy meat on a squishy
bun, maybe with plum sauce or something. Corporate sabotage
on the most amusing level.

 ML> Mark had the spinach salad, which he enjoyed:
 JM> Well, it seemed to be pretty popular in my
 JM> early years of grad school, around 1976, in
 JM> the fashion-forward region of North Carolina.

That sounds about right to me. 1970, spinach salad
a novelty, hard to find. 1980, all over the place.

 JM> THE NUMERIC KEYPAD!

Ta-dää!

  Beard recipe contests, held in 1975.  The winner's name was Reino Koski.
  This is a Finnish soup.

  Use any cut salmon or steelhead, leaving skin on.  In 1 quart water, with
  salt and pepper, simmer on low heat in 5- or 6-quart pot.  When skin comes
  off easily, set aside on plate and remove skin and bones.  Cut or break
  into 1- and 2-inch pieces.  In liquid stock, place bay leaves and whole
  allspice.  Add potatoes, cut in 1- or 1 1/2-inch pieces; carrots, cut
  lengthwise and into half circles about 1/4-inch thick; and 2 onions cubed
  coarsely (not chopped fine).  Cook over low heat.  After a short while, add
  red cabbage and celery leaves.  Stir.  Cook until carrots are almost tender
  and potatoes don't disintegrate.

  While this is cooking, dice bacon and cook in fry pan over low heat. Pour
  almost all fat off.  Add butter (or margarine) and diced celery, remaining
  onion (diced fine) and green pepper.  Saute' until onions are yellow and
  peppers are pale green.  Now back to your pot.  Add salmon pieces, (they
  should be not quite cooked).  From now on everything is simmered on low to
  preserve body.  Add clams with broth, shrimp and 1 quart water. Put in
  stuff from fry pan.  Add pimento, mushrooms, rosemary, cumin, thyme,
  oregano and chilies.  Stir in milk a cup at a time. Add butter and let
  whole bit simmer for at least one hour.  Serve with tossed salad and garlic
  bread.  Can be frozen.
