SPAM Curry Rice

IT — who has built his humble kimchi jjigae restaurant (see generally 1.364 Kimchi Jjigae) into a franchise empire — gave us 2 bags of his famous product, 2 bags x 10 kg apiece, shipped directly from the factory to our apartment, as a farewell present. The ultimate parting gift for anyone emigrating from Korea.
The first dinner prepared by W in her new capacity as a homemaker. The boys were impressed, particularly with the SPAM. I could’ve done without the SPAM, and maybe a bit less potato, perhaps some carrots, but okay.
In any case, IT’s kimchi was the true star of the meal.
As declared in a prior post (see 7.135 Geotjeoli), Japanese-style curry rice is the third best dish that goes with kimchi (see also 5.070 Mom’s Kimchi…).
Should “SPAM” be spelled in all caps, the way it is on the can? S-P-A-M!! But just “Spam” doesn’t seem to convey the proper respect.
