A 1940s-1950s dinner..... with SPAM

So, for many years we have been getting together with our college friends and having dinner at one of our houses.   Tucker and I have not hosted (or been) in quite a while so we decided to host this month!

There is usually a theme....  we have done 'colors' - where each 'yes' RSVP was assigned a color for their dish.

Last night's theme was 40s & 50s food.   Lots of interesting items....   cheese balls, SPAM/bacon/mustard snacks, cheese&potato dumplings, potato skins, fruit salad.   Basically all food that you could make with food that didn't spoil quickly and/or used odds and ends of whatever was leftover during rationing.

The biggest hit (and surprise) was Marty's SPAM - it was actually REALLY good.  (after he wrapped it in bacon and topped it with honey mustard - I didn't try it plain)

It was great weather but we hung inside until the sun (sorta) went down.   Thanks everyone!
