All American Delicacy

In her blog post titled "The End of Spam Shame," Columbus writer Sylvie Kim discusses how those who wish to examine complex topics such as self-identity, race, class, and globalization need search no further than a simple can of Spam.

To honor Kim's eloquent discourse on this uniquely American delicacy, I shredded a medium red potato, squeezed out the excess water using a paper towel, and fried the shreds in 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil.

After frying the potatoes and topping them with 1/4 cup of shredded cheese, I arranged two slices of Spam (I used the new turkey variety which is really tasty) and a fried egg on top.

The resulting dish was simple and delicious!
