SPAM SUSHI

Tonight at 7pm the boys turn their hands to Spam Sushi. To be honest this raised a few eyebrows in The Kitchen when confirmed they would be making a sushi looking spam dish.

Spam is one of them foods that splits people’s opinions. Unless you live in Hawaii of course, where they all love it. Spam Sushi can be either be eaten as a snack or for lunch. Composed of a slice of Spam sandwiched between a block of rice, wrapped together with nori.
