If the turkeys around here were that brave/foolish at least one of them would
be Thanksgiving Dinner.

Ben Franklin thought the North American wild turkey should be the national
bird. Of course, the turkey of his day was nothing like the domesticated
descendants we know today. The wild turkey of Ben Franklin's day was a brightly
plumed, cunning bird of flight.

Unlike eagles, turkeys live in flocks. Imagine seeing a flock of birds as large
as turkeys flying across the sky. It must have been a wondrous sight. Wild
turkeys have longer necks and legs as well as smaller breasts than turkeys bred
for the table. The true American turkey was "wild and wary to the point of
genius."

      Title: Chile Glazed Spam
 Categories: Five, Pork, Breads
      Yield: 4 servings

     12 oz (340 g) tin of SPAM
           Your favourite chile jam
           - or jelly.
           Lettuce
      8 sl Ciabatta bread

  A couple of weeks ago the lovely people at Hormel sent me
  a huge parcel of Spam and Spam related goodies, I’d not
  had Spam since I was a kid and even then I think I only
  ever had it as fritters at school, so I decided to try
  and see how many ways I could spice it up.

  This is my first go, there will be a few more soon so
  watch this space.

  Pre heat your grill to a medium heat.

  Slice your spam into 1 cm (3/8") thick slices.

  Coat each slice in chile jam/jelly

  Grill for a few minutes either side until crispy.

  Serve on the ciabatta with a couple of slices of lettuce.

  Serves four
