“Or Lobster Thermidor aux crevettes with a mornay sauce served in a provencale manner with shallots and aubergines garnished with truffle pate, brandy and a fried egg on top and spam”

Don’t know how I feel about spam as a meat-product. I’ve never tried it. But e-mail spam has definitely turned me off the name in general.
I have to tell everyone that I was at a large wholesale center recently when I saw a guy place a 4-pack of spam into his shopping cart. It was all I could do NOT to ask him ‘Why?!’
Does email spam get its name from the aforementioned?
@ Pete,
As lifted from Wikipedia:
According to the Internet Society and other sources, the term spam is derived from the 1970 Spam sketch of the BBC television comedy series “Monty Python’s Flying Circus”. The sketch is set in a cafe where nearly every item on the menu includes Spam canned luncheon meat. As the waiter recites the Spam-filled menu, a chorus of Viking patrons drowns out all conversations with a song repeating “Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam… lovely Spam! wonderful Spam!”, hence “Spamming” the dialogue.
