Well, I think I'm not really entitled to an opinion, as I'm heavily
biased. However, for the record, I mentioned it only because I saw,
presumably, the same ad you saw, and it may well be new to my area as
well. I had never heard of this product until maybe five days ago,
myself. I'm not sure if it's really turkey Spam in the strictest sense,
though. I thought somehow that it was a little more fibrous/cohesive,
more like canned ham. You know. Almost like real meat. Or is it really
that ground-up stuff? Maybe Chirhart can tell us, as he has apparently
tried it.

I did think it was really amusingly tacky, though, the implicit
suggestion that, as we are entering the default turkey season in the US,
this would be just the product to buy for all your turkey needs.

On the other hand, how could it be any worse than Weaver Chicken (or
Turkey) Roll, which is a sort of dairy-enriched mortadella made of poultry?
