National Canned Luncheon Meat Week

National Canned Luncheon Meat Week, also known as SPAM Week, celebrates canned luncheon meats during the first full week of July. The category includes such foods as deviled ham, corned beef, scrapple, and SPAM.

The observance offers an opportunity to revisit the many ways canned meats can be served. A 2016 discussion of the week mentioned Underwood Deviled Ham, Vienna Sausage, Armour Treet, and SPAM, along with ideas such as serving SPAM with eggs or using it in a Hawaiian-style burger. The same discussion also pointed to the subject’s connection with the broader history of canning, though the available sources do not document the holiday’s founder or origin.

How to Observe National Canned Luncheon Meat Week

Celebrate by preparing a dish featuring canned luncheon meat. Try it with breakfast, put it in a sandwich, or experiment with a recipe from the SPAM recipe collection. You could also sample different varieties, such as deviled ham, corned beef, scrapple, or Vienna Sausage, and compare them.
