Isn't potted meat basically just country-style paté?
(Note -- I have not been to the site, and am basing my idea of "potted meat" entirely on that chapter from whichever of Elizabeth David's books has the potted meat in it.)
Sometimes a thing gets broke, can't be fixed.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
SPAM is potted meat.

SPAM is neither potted nor meat. It's canned byproducts.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I think today should be over now, even on this coast.

Not even slightly wrong.
I got Lily and Emma onesies that say "mini" on the front and have the apple logo on the back. I think maybe they both need a matching set.

I think Spam is its own category of ew.

SPAM calls itself "packaged canned meat product made of 100 percent pure pork and ham" and a "luncheon meat."

Then they need to stop coming up on the first page of the google for "potted meat." People might get confused.
It's canned byproducts.
Then I don't know what potted meat is. Because that's what it looks like -- just smooshed.

potted meat is like a meat spread.
Spam is (yummy comfort food and) sliceable.

Elizabeth David's chapter on potted meats is all things like chicken livers chopped fine with herbs and stored in a clay pot with a layer of fat on top. Country-style paté.
SPAM...I can't bring myself to call it meat. It's meat-product. And it comes in a can, not a pot.
In slightly related news, the Potted Meat Museum (which is COMPLETELY muddling the whole can/pot issue, and I am throwing my hands up at the WHOLE THING) is selling Kerry-for-President t-shirts for dogs. I do not know why.
