Highest Spam Consumption Rate in the United States
Inexplicably, the renowned canned pork product, Spam, enjoys immense popularity in Hawaiian cuisine, with Hawaii claiming the title of the highest per capita consumption of Spam in the entire United States. This culinary preference can be traced back to its origins during WWII.
When the United States stationed a large contingent of troops in Hawaii during the war, Spam was a prominent part of their rations. Even after the war, Hawaiians had developed a taste for this canned meat, seamlessly incorporating it into their local culinary traditions.
