It is a meat-like substance which is delivered in a tin can. It can be quite good for breakfast with eggs if you can stand the grease content.
I don't think it looks like meat. It's sort of a pink, semi-homogenous, gelatinatious mass. I think Hormell (tm) uses SPAM as an acronym for Sorta Pink And Mutilated but I digress ;)
spam: Any posting which contains an advertisement of a product.
You mean like your email .sig?
posting: Any peice of electronic material found either in a UseNet NewsGroup, public mailing list (listserv), or a private mailing list.
You mean like this message? I don't really think you're message was spam. I was making a point.
