Spam and some more Spam. The Americans were able to get meat easier than the Brits were able to get meat because the country was a very large meat producer.

Where does the word Spam come from?

I think it's a contraction of "spiced ham" or "spiced pork and ham". This was is a tinned meat product made famous during WW2 by the Americans in Europe. Food was rationed and it was welcomed at the time. When war ended more food became available and Spam got a reputation as being for poor people. Hence the term for unwanted messages and adverts. Spam was popular in the US as well. During rationing in the US, you were only allowed so much meat in a week. You were allowed far more canned goods in your rations. Spam counted as a canned good but was meat. So you could still get meat if you liked Spam. The source is my mother who was a teenager in WW II. I've heard the story other places so it seems reliable. I think its reputation was low because nobody really understood what was in it but that's more conjecture.
