What in the SPAM?

Get ready, Melbourne!

Concrete Boots has taken fries to a whole new level, blessing the lucky folk of Melbourne with – we can’t believe we’re saying this – SPAM chips!

Better known as meat in a can, we don’t know anyone who has actually ever bought this World War II staple until now.

But this Richmond watering hole might just be onto something magical.

So what even is a SPAM chip?

It’s literally a block of SPAM, sliced into thick batons, then fried in cotton seed oil and popped back in the tin from which they came. And if you’re a condiments fan, a side of barbecue sauce is all you’ll need.

They’re super salty and fatty in flavour, so one side will comfortably serve two to four people.

And they seem to be a hit with those game enough to try with the proof posted on social media, of course.

We dare you to take this $9 challenge and tell us what you think.

Hey, you can’t knock it ’til you try it, right?!
