Hawaiian Street Corn with SPAM + Pineapple (gluten-free)

Hawaiian Street Corn with SPAM + Pineapple | www.thepigandquill.com |#glutenfree #summer #recipeHey guys, and welcome to Day Two of Street Corn Two Ways. It’s a pretty efficient series. Yesterday, we started things off with this classic Mexican Street Corn thingy and today we’re wrappin’ it on up with an islandy (I guess? For lack of better descriptor?) spin that’s sweet and salty and soy-y and scallion-y and best of all bests — SPAMMY. *contented sigh* SPAM is, no joke, one of my most favorite food groups ever. Like, remember that time I was like, “out with factory farmed meat!” Um, canni tell you a secret? I never ditched the SPAM. (Shhhhhhhhhh, fancy people think this blog is clean and legit and whole foodsie and stuff.) Hawaiian Street Corn with SPAM + Pineapple | www.thepigandquill.com |#glutenfree #summer #recipe Hawaiian Street Corn with SPAM + Pineapple | www.thepigandquill.com |#glutenfree #summer #recipe I almost always eat SPAM the same way, which is browned with a little shoyu and sugar and served with hot rice, salty-sweet furikake and a drippy egg (optional but highly encouraged). Sometimes, it’s more than acceptable to swap the rice for, I dunno, RAMEN. And this summer — because that’s when genius epiphany happened to strike — it’s aallllll good to put that slivered SPAM all over some nutty grilled corn with sweet-tart pineapple, sharp scallions and mayo. It’s Hawaiian Street Corn, dudes, and you can (and should) probably plan to eat a metric fugload of it. 🙂 Hawaiian Street Corn with SPAM + Pineapple | www.thepigandquill.com |#glutenfree #summer #recipeHawaiian Street Corn with SPAM + Pineapple | www.thepigandquill.com |#glutenfree #summer #recipe Hawaiian Street Corn with SPAM + Pineapple | www.thepigandquill.com |#glutenfree #summer #recipe Hawaiian Street Corn with SPAM + Pineapple | www.thepigandquill.com |#glutenfree #summer #recipe Hawaiian Street Corn with SPAM + Pineapple | www.thepigandquill.com |#glutenfree #summer #recipe (heyheyehey: Love SPAM as much as meeeeeeee?

    1. You’re reading right between the lines there, Steph. 🙂 I made this while my husband was on a business trip and it was basically just me, the world’s larger tupperware container and a spoon aaaall day long.

  2. This looks and sounds amazing! it reminds me of esquites (Mexican corn salad) which I could eat all day long. And Spam seems like a natural addition… but isn’t it always?

    BTW…thanks for the mention!!

  3. I. love. this. SO MUCH. Spam, sweet corn, mayo?! Grilled smoky goodness? Um, count me in for one serving of that world’s largest tupperware container please!!

  4. I haven’t had SPAM since I was a kid! But I just saw this show on it, and now I want to eat it. Thank you for facilitating this re-introduction… (Street corn! Yay!)

  7. You had me at SPAM. Shoyu sugar slices wedged between pressed rice and wrapped in nori is my jam but I’m always looking for new ways to enjoy it! xo
