Honestly, I admit i have never tried SPAM.  I love the nostalgia surrounding it and its history how it was introduced during the wartime.  My husband has tried it and says it very salty.  People like though as according to Wikipedia, “In 2007, the seven billionth can of Spam was sold.”  I can’t even imagine how much has sold by now!

So anyways back to school lunches, for us I give my son a Hormel REV Wrap, which is perfectly sized for lunch and it saves me time packing his lunch!  The Natural Choice Deli Meats are great for me to make myself for lunch, or I use it if I’m out of REV Wraps.  With eight varieties of REV Wraps I can send him with a new one every day of the week!

The Hormel Compleats are perfect for lunch or dinner, accompanied by something else if you are eating it for dinner.  I love that they don’t require refrigeration just a microwave to heat it up when your ready.  My favorite is the Hormel Compleats Italian Herb & Cheese Rigatoni.
