Spam
Canned, processed pork luncheon meat created by Hormel in 1937. It holds an ambivalent place in American cuisine—rejected by some because of associations with institutional food, others have championed it as comfortable nostalgia. The official website offers a history of the US from a spamish perspective, as well as a fan club and gift items. The word has also come to be used for unwanted e-mail.
