There's just nothing that I can find appealing about the taste, so I just don't get it (but I still enjoy canned meat!).

Originally Posted By officerminnie It's not pride, it just looks gross to me in the pictures I've seen so I have no desire to try it. I wouldn't taste things people eat in other cultures either that look gross to me - like bugs, monkey brains, eyeballs (or any other kind of balls for that matter). Call me quirky, but I like to pick and choose what I put in my mouth.

How could anyone not want to taste "Baked Apples with SPAM Streusel"? <a href="http://tinyurl.com/2qzt9r" target="_blank">http://tinyurl.com/2qzt9r</a>

The Captain Crunch gives it a malt flavor, as that is the main flavor of captain crunch anyway. Little tiny bits of the cereail are in there, too, but I'd get another one.
Originally Posted By jdub We tried one of each: milkshake, & malt. The milkshake just tasted like a vanilla shake with cereal bits in there. Ho-hum. The MALT, on the other hand? Flavorful & delicious! Can't wait for Carl's "Meuslix Malt!"
