Depends. Pork liver, usually in pate form is nice. I'm not big on chicken liver unless it's heavily spiced. Cod liver is tasty on its own. Lamb liver is nice. Goat is not. Duck/foi gras when you can be somewhere that doesn't have a law against it.

As a relatively rare treat, re pâté, the good stuff is wonderful.
Yum.
Also, olives stuffed with jalapeños.
Come to think of it, I like pretty much anything involving jalapeños.

Spam?
As a lad, I ate quite a bit of Spam. Looked forward to it, actually.
Then you will probably like Mortadella - a sort of posh, Italian spam, an Italian picnic ham which is lovely for breakfast and in sandwiches.
Onions... everybody loves them.
I just don’t get it... can’t stand them.

Oh, dear, count me in the "love" section.
Slow sautéed, this is the base of almost ever decent stew, and many other dishes (a pasta sauce) I can think of.
Sautéed very swiftly, well, there you have a stir fry; roasted, they are exquisitely sweet and flatter many other vegetables (courgettes, aubergines, peppers, tomatoes...)
Depending on the application, you might give leeks a try.
Takes a bit of work to properly clean, though.

Added to my ‘give it a try’ list. Thanks.
Oh, yes, leeks!!
Great idea. Love them.
Sautéed softly, with diced garlic and tomatoes - a lovely (and dead easy) gentle yet tasty vegetarian dish.
I felt fortunate having grown up in the American Midwest for the vegetables and beef and pork. But honestly, the vegetables in California were vastly better. And they were plentiful year round! The homegrown garden vegetables were really good in Iowa of course, but not so much in our markets. Sweetcorn was better in Iowa.
We've bought organic Iowa sweet corn before. It was like eating sugar compared to the regular sweet corn we buy. This year's crops have been very sweet so far. Very plump, too.
Last set of Games at Venice Beach, they had a Spam truck. Never realized there were so many kinds.
These days I skip it.

Bloomin with Sante Fe Ranch.

I’ve heard there are new varieties of Spam. Truth is, I haven’t had any for decades. May have to buy a can just to see if I still like it. Maybe they have jalapeño flavored!
Vidalia’s are excellent, imho.
Bloomin with Ranch. Also excellent.

Yes they do
and here are some others ....
Oh my.
But I don't like spam!
Might be lost on you kids!
Hahaha
"I'm having Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, baked beans, Spam, Spam, Spam and Spam."
"Baked beans are off!"
"Can I have Spam instead?"

Somewhere in here there has to be a joke to be made about Spam and MR posting guidelines...
Ok, never mind.
[doublepost=1531251179][/doublepost]Well, speaking of food, I’m off to the Appomattox River Soil & Water Conservation District (Annual?) Pig Pickin for some BBQ.
I am not making this up.

When going to IHOP I usually order burgers because I care little for pancakes or for breakfast food in general. A steak egg and cheese sandwich from McDonald's or breakfast burrito from McDonald's are exceptions. I will also eat breakfast pizza or cold cereal. I usually eat lunch or dinner foods for breakfast.
Spam,,,, no, or not any more anyway. However, I'll cop to keeping a couple cans in back of the cupboard "just in case" and I end up giving them to the food pantry a year later so they will get used up.
Tempted to try the jalapeño kind though, can see a bit of that browned up and put along side scrambled eggs w/ some grits. Or when I'm trying to use up half a pepper, half an onion and "half a half a half a" my fridge's leftover produce in some fried rice.
We're a good match... I eat cereal for supper in the summertime.

I've used spam in chum. No sane human would voluntarily eat it. Though Hawaiians love it in something called locomoco?
