I just noticed something strange about the Spam® sold in China. For some reason, this famous processed pork product is labelled "牛餐肉" (niú cān ròu) which means beef!

Whatever, I've never bought it.

 

I do know however that it is usually used as a ham substitute in fried rice. That said, cheaper Chinese clones brands are much more often used.

 

Spam® itself us also available pre-sliced and in various flavours  including 'black pepper" because, as everyone in China knows, western food is never consumed without lashings of black pepper.
