Heat tolerablizes it.

I kind of like V-8. The sodium hit is remarkable, though,
and if you try to drink the low-sodium version, you might
as well die.

 A little sugar might be OK,

Sugar makes you fill up faster, so all you can eat takes
on a different meaning.

More like this, which is a sort of reconstruction of what
she used to make, often with hot dogs substituting for Spam.

Spam Fried Rice
cat: mine, main
servings: 4

1 sm cn Spam, cut into 1/4" to 3/8" dice
4 oz frozen peas
1 carrot, diced - or 4 oz frozen diced carrots
1 sm onion, diced
4 scallions, sliced, including the green part
1 or 2 cloves garlic
oil
1 c raw long-grain rice
2 extra-large or 3 large eggs, beaten with
1 Tb soy sauce
soy sauce

Cook rice according to your favorite method, but make sure to keep it
firm (al dente), with the grains separate. Cool it to or past room temp.
This is best done the day before.

Sizzle 1 slightly crushed garlic in oil (probably a couple of Tb); add the
Spam and fry, stirring constantly, until the Spam cubes are crusty brown
and no longer smell like Spam. Discard the garlic. Remove the Spam to a
warm plate. In the same oil, saute the carrot for 1 min.; then add the
onion and cook until the onion is translucent. Remove the vegetables to
the same plate as the Spam. Heat oil to high (the same oil, if it looks
clean enough; otherwise use a fresh pan, a couple Tb fresh oil, and a new
garlic) and add the rice. Do not stir or disturb in any way. Add the
peas, half the scallions (all the white part and some of the green
part), and the eggs. Fold all this into the rice until everything is
moderately well incorporated; then fold in the Spam and the vegetables.
Cook until a delicate crust forms on the bottom. Serve on a warm
platter with the rest of the scallions strewn on top. Pass the jug of
soy sauce to help each diner kill the taste to his own preference.
