SPAM - Chip Shop Curry Fritters - Iceland [@NLi10]

 Iceland have some good weird food - I reviewed the original SPAM fritters what seems like ages ago, and recently (when I got the Lewis Capaldi Pizzas) I spotted this variation.


Mostly this just makes me worry about store-bought chicken Kiev - but it's a neat idea - put a spicy sauce in the middle of the spam and make it more like a meal!


Thing is - these are basically nuggets.  Two in a box and they aren't that big.


See - mini sausage rolls for scale  (and not because I'm greedy)


And here is the finished product - not quite as runny as the pictures on the box, but I think that the 2nd one was a bit gloopier so maybe I needed the oven on for a bit longer - but it's a heatwave so I stuck to the timings.

And?  They are decent. Filling for the size (but I really needed 2), but did want a few veggies and carbs adding to make it a meal.  The flavour is the usual salty spam luncheon meat, and the chip shop curry is the English Katsu it's always been.

A decent variation on the classic then, a bit more pricey than the plain ones but on special offer its a nice change.  Would be improved by adding chip shop chips as well though!

Spam Fritters For Tea from Iceland - in 2021! (@NLi10)

 We decided to have a quick look round the local Iceland shop as it was raining and picking up cool food is a good idea. And then I spotted these odd things.  We reviewed Spam a while back as they sent us vouchers - but it’d never had spam fritters!



So - along with veggie treats I picked them up


And look at that lovely branding and packaging.


Who could resist this British treat of really pink pork, but in batter?


Basically Pork Nuggets!


Today we’ve decided to eat like 10 year olds!


Pink bits!

And yeah - these were actually quite nice. The spam flavour is milder than I remember, but maybe that’s me getting old. And the batter made it more of a meal thing than just Spam with salad at every birthday party from my childhood at my dads parents.

Great nostalgia and a nice change to breaded chicken. Worth a punt! (Unless yr veggie…)
