I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Who's with me?

Why is it, whenever I'm about to shut down the computer, my mother chooses that moment to start a lengthy IM conversation?

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

SPAM is neither potted nor 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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

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.

I think today should be over now, even on this coast.

Who's with me?

raises hand

Yes, please. I would like to go home now. Has anyone seen my motivation to do work?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I eat potted meat and like it. Now I'm gonna have to go read the rest of Steve's adventures with "food"

Then, to my understanding, smooshed SPAM would not be unlike potted meat.

Though I have little interest in eating either, so I won't verify that.

I don't think smooshed Spam would have the same texture as potted meat. Potted meat is oddly creamy or much like cat food. Spam is firmer than that.
