Belizeans don’t typically eat a lot of sandwiches. This is the most common one eaten in Belize and is usually served at a wake. Here’s my version of this super easy and delicious sandwich spread.

Shirani, this Spam sandwich is Spamtastic. As a Minnesota resident, I like Spam. It's no secret that I'm blown out of the water by this fine recipe. Especially when you add onions & peppers. Personally, I'd add onions, garlic & ALL the peppers! But, that's just me. Shirani, you perfected this recipe to a science! 🔥

Yes for sure!

We have something similar with ham, chicken, hard boiled eggs or canned tuna. Those are made with the meat, fish or eggs finely minced and mixed with a little mayonnaise and sweet pickle relish, onions, perhaps some finely minced celery and sometimes a little yellow mustard. Sometimes the ham salad is made with finely chopped hard boiled eggs in it as well. Egg salad usually has chopped green onions . All are served in between buttered bread, often with lettuce in the sandwich. These kinds of lunch sandwiches were very popular at diners where we used to sit at the lunch counters such as Woolworth's.

The Belize version of a wake sounds like an Irish wake. You don't need to add salt because the Spam is plenty salty enough. My mom used to buy bologna in big chunks (not sliced in a package). She would then have the butcher grind it up like hamburger. She would then mix the ground bologna with mayonnaise, pickle relish, etc. to make a bologna salad for sandwiches.

I’m from California (USA) my family have wakes ceremony.

I like SPAM, fried and in a sandwich or in a Asian style stir fry. Never thought of making ham salad using SPAM . I guess because its so salty but I'm guessing the onions and peppers added would absorb some of that salt mediating that. Definitely going to have to try this. The only time I've ever seen a wake in the US is on TV or in a movie and that always seems to be anecdotally from TV and movies to more an Italian or Irish Catholic tradition of the Yankee north . It was likely quite common when we still prepared the bodies for burial at home and the people came by to visit and pay their condolences. These days however in the US, funeral homes generally come for the body to prep it for burial and visitation is held at the funeral parlor the day before the funeral. Even though we don't have wakes in the South that I know of, the family's church usually prepares a meal for the family which is either served them at the church community center or their home. That way the family can concentrate on grieving not having to cook.

Hey Ashton, I didn't know people eat them everyday. The only time I've ever eaten them is at a wake. I know Spam cost an arm and a leg in Belize lol but that's the only brand I could find. I know back home we use to buy Dak and Tulip. 🇧🇿❤

I always put mayonnaise on both bread slices.
