Spam, 1945

I don't know if "Yipeee!" is the exclamation I'd use if I saw this salad. Also, what exactly is "western" about it?

I literally gagged.

Ewwww!

Because that's as close to a salad as a cowboy gets? You'd think they'd go for steak though, not processed pig.

Having grown up in a household where Spam was an occasional treat and iceberg lettuce devoid of anything other than dressing was considered a salad, this actually looks pretty damn good to me.

I like how hesitant they are about the garlic.

I would go "Yipee!" if someone threw this out the window. I hate Spam.

It's "western" because of the ham/Spam and green pepper, like a western omelet, is my best guess. Not that it helps.

I've noticed a common theme among vintage food ads: they seem to have a very odd definition of "salad."

Thanks for explaining the "western," everyone. I've heard of western omelets, but I never really knew why they were called "western."

Not even Monty Python came up with THIS concoction...

"Spam and eggs, spam and sausages, spam and spam, spam, spam, spam spam spam LOVERLY SPAAAAAM"...

The UK have (what HAS to be a pisstake) advert called "spam up" - for a special treat (anniversary meal). If my husband served me spam because it was our anniversary, I'd be very concerned divorce was around the corner.
