Photo of the Day: Spam Musubi Smackdown
What's the best meat to use in a Spam musubi? Pomai of Honolulu-based food blog The Tasty Island tested Treet, Tulip, and Spam brand luncheon meats to find out. After comparing and rating their flavors, textures, and levels of deliciousness in musubi form on a scale of one to three, he found that each one had its own individual qualities (good or bad depending on your preference), but deemed Spam the king of luncheon meats.
If you've never had Spam musubi before, try making your own! Just make sure you have a Spam musubi press to get that perfect brick-shape.

Mmm...Spam.
Despite our love of Spam Musubi and Spam, Hawaii does not have the title of highest consumption of Spam in the world per capita?
Apparently Guam has it.

YOU'VE BEEN SPAM-PWNED BY GUAM!
Kathy gave me a musubi mold for Christmas! I'm gonna make me some! Yeaaah!

I am amazed at how much I like musubi with spam. I discovered it on the golf courses of Maui as a snack. Looks foul but tastes great.

I am definitely making this soon! Can I get a musubi mold at a Japanese supermarket?
Barbara Hanson at 2:43PM on 12/27/07
@BaHa: Your best bet is to get it online. No Japanese supermarkets in NYC had it at least. :\

Forget using that plastic mold - just use the spam can! Press the rice into the bottom of the can with a spoon or fingers (watch out for the sharp edges), then smack the can (opening side down) into your chopping board. Voila! Perfectly shaped rice for your musubi!
(I make this all the time - I've never had the balls to actually bring to work to eat though. Spam is still my shameful secret.)
