Summary: SquareToes Restaurant patrons in Kennebunk, ME pay their annual homage to the processed meat product. Spam-o-Rama '04 is THIS WEEKEND! (3/13/04)
That’s right folks SPAM is no longer the plain Ham in a can your mother knew. With inventively named dishes and spokespersons like Spamish Rice and Spamela Anderson respectively, this mostly pork dish is reaching new heights of culinary enlightenment.
In this piece producer John Basile takes a humorous look at a local Maine tradition by the name of SPAM-O-Rama. The piece is fun, light not at all to serious and just a plain good time to listen to. The audio quality is good as is the narrative writing, I certainty got a good laugh in and found myself craving of all things… Well you know.
Cute little piece. Nothing especially special. A ripe topic dispensed with in a straight-forward manner. And -- hoping not to sound like a snob -- the "H" is silent in "homage."
I really liked this piece. The sound throughout is good and the material is funny and quirky. I would like to know why the Spam contest is happening there - is Spam from Maine? But nevermind, the real Maine voices of those interviewed are great --the drag queen wins the prize.
Cute! An item about everbody's most dumped upon luncheon meat couldn't be otherwise. The presenter does a good job of conveying the atmosphere of the restaurant and you get a chuckle. In the Netherlands, where I live, it's called SMAC. Don't ask my why. For some reason, it does not elicit the same eye rolling response. An excellent "And finally..." piece for the end of your current affairs segment.
