Tomorrow's Tasteoff
Treet vs. Spam. Tomorrow at lunch we put them to the test. Which is the better mystery meat?
If you wish to play along, just aquire one or both of these products. We're going to try them tomorrow around lunch time, and I'll write up the results sometime before the weekend. You can add your own observations in the comments.
I guess this would qualify as "fair warning."

I've never had Treet. I was unaware of its existence till about very recently.
The intentional misspelling was a very poor choice; "treet" implies "not treat" and it also suggests "not meat."

Posted by: Patti M. at July 23, 2008 3:22 PMSomehow, canned corned beef makes me feel a little ill.
Sounds perfect! I'll try to pick some up for the tasteoff.

Posted by: Sara at July 23, 2008 3:49 PMThis product comes from completely sustainable farms, right? Grass-fed, er, whatever "meet" it's made from?

Actually, it's people. Oh, no, wait--that's Soylent Green.

Posted by: Julie at July 23, 2008 4:47 PMWholesome, 100% USDA Choice, emulsified lips and assholes.
Way better than "potted meat food product".
Posted by: Bull at July 23, 2008 9:05 PMYou should make a sandwich with both of them. Call it TRAM ... or SPEET ... or SPEEM ...or SPAT.
Posted by: Bull at July 24, 2008 1:04 PMWe had the tasteoff. I need only write it up now.
It's on its way.
