HONOLULU—For many Americans, spam is a four-letter word for unwanted e-mail. In Hawaii, Spam is a beloved comfort food, with cans of the gelatinous pork bricks found in virtually every cupboard.

Hoping to cash in on Hawaii's love affair with the pinkish meat product, Burger King has begun offering Spam for breakfast — going head-to-head with rival McDonald's, which has been featuring Spam in the islands for years.​

Burger King is offering the Spam Platter — two slices of Spam nestled between white rice and scrambled eggs. The fast-food giant also offers the Croissanwich or Biscuit Sandwich with Spam.

They should call the croissanwich with spam in it the "Criosspamwich". Breakfast sandwiches with spam kick ass...

There are also more varieties of Spam sold in Hawaii than anywhere else. There's Spam Garlic, Spam Bacon, Spam with Cheese, Spam with Tabasco, Spam Turkey and Spam Lite, which features less sodium and less fat.

It's the "spam slam!"

I wouldn't say SPAM is a delicacy...in fact, far from it, as it is more of a mainstay side dish. It is literally a part of Hawaiiana. Hell, even the McDonalds here have it in their breakfast menus.

Apparently Burger King too:
