A few weeks ago I posted a picture of spam in the spam thread. Thinking little of it outside of its relevancy to said thread, it was brought to my attention that, apparently, there are ways to prepare this delicacy. My taste in food is fairly simple, and by all accounts, spam should fit right in. The problem is that I can't remember the last time I have ever had it. But, I don't want to limit my palette, so here we are. In order to help me figure out how to properly prepare spam, I am making this thread so I can receive some pointers from spam aficionados.
The premise: The goal is to collect some sort of consensus on how best to cook (or not cook) this spam based on the following food/equipment availability.
