    A spam, egg and cheese sandwich with mayo and mustard is nice. A spam, spam, egg and cheese and spam sandwich though is superb.

    Thanks for putting up the info about deep water coral. I thought that coral needed sunlight as well.

    ^corals are good, but SPAM is great!

    The SPAM fried rice doesn't look bad (from the cookbook). I'll have a portion of that, please.

    SPAM is popular in Hawaii too! 14 flavors!

    OK, something is wrong if there are 14 flavors for processed meat that was likely the bottom of the slaughter bucket that got ground up and push into a tin. The most disgusting thing for me when I saw my family members open a tin was when they pushed it out onto a plate this shiny gooey looking gelatin came with it.

    ( I just verp'd)....

    I love a spam sandwich. The span fried on both sides until brown, with slices Tomatoes and mustard, between two pieces of toasted bread.
    Mmm Mmmm Good!!

    You'll be saying you don't like pork pies next JP. These things need a bit of jelly.

    You seem to be a hard core SPAM supporter Katie!

    I hope it's not too forward but I've bought you an early Christmas present...

    Yes, exactly. Both parties benefit from a symbiotic relationship whereas only one party benefits from a parasitic relationship, for example the bladdy ticks that kept infesting our dogs until I discovered Bravecto. A well-developed parasite won't harm it's host too much as if the host dies, so does the parasite.

    I used to know Martin Hovland well, before he retired he worked for Statoil and was a regular client rep on the boats I worked on.

    But... I only said it was a theory, not necessarily that I agreed with it.

    I think there can be a tendency to develop a theory and then make any findings fit. The vast majority of our work is above hydrocarbon reservoirs so it is difficult to make an assumption that coral colonies are concentrated more in these areas than elsewhere... data from a much wider area would be needed imho. There are also coral reefs at the entrances to many fjords and the main requirement seems to be a hard substrate such as rock to which they can attach.

    I widely hear that many coral colonies are thousands if years old... yet here's a 30 year-old subsea pipeline (bundle) in around 350m of water with coral attached. There are theories that the coral prefers the slightly higher temperatures associated with subsea hydrocarbon pipelines... or maybe it is just something hard for them to attach to?



    Another bundle in deep water also around 30 years old... there is so much coral growth that it has covered the valve panel and obstructed ROV tool access.

    Great Pics of ocean floor Mendy.

    In a previous company I worked for we produced fiber coupled laser diode pump assemblies that were sent to a company named Alcatel who was laying huge Telecommunication submarine fiberoptic bundle cables around the the point of Chile/Argentina and back up each coast. Started near Ecuador and finished up at Brazil. Thousands of miles of cable. Many of our pedigree review meetings were completed with occasionally a live feed from the ship rolling out the fiber bundles. I used to see some really interesting pictures and videos of the cable being laid across the ocean floor.

    Pork pies are great.

    Paté and foie gras have a layer of jelly to keep them fresh.

    The only meat I think that is acceptable with "Jelly" is a rack of lamb. Anything that pours out of a can with gelatin or Jelly....is dog food. However, we all have our preferences.

    Where's the jelly coming from in a rack of lamb? I think the correct word for that clear jelly substance found in tinned dog-foods like Spam is actually aspic but on lamb?

    There are so many SPAM haters here that I feel compelled to defend it.

    I'm Asian, so I eat (fried) rice. Moreso, I'm a Filipina, so I eat SPAM.

    I remember when I was a kid & imported goods were so expensive, having SPAM was a treat. My preciousssss...

    Edit:

    @mendip - thanks for the earrings. Ypu can FedEx them to me. I'll wear them when I eat SPAM.

    Mint Jelly is served with a rack of lamb....That clear 'Whatever it is" Jelly/Gelatin is probably all the preservatives coagulating waiting to be heated up and then ingested to later plug arteries.

    I'm sure you have eaten the same stuff in other forms, it is processed ham and pork which you'll also find in sausages.HAHAHAHAHAHA

    "The primary ingredient in Spam is chopped pork shoulder meat mixed with ham. About 90% of Spam is pork from a pig's shoulders. The remaining 10% (or so) comes from the pig's buttock and thigh, better known as ham."

    About that 'or so'. Maybe Katie has a tin close at hand. I'm curious about the full ingredient list.
