I needed to embrace my model of this iconic college meals staple,” says Phil Vickery. “I vividly keep in mind seeing the massive aluminium trays stacked stuffed with Spam fritters within the canteen. Each store in my city served them in a roundabout way, form or kind.
“They’re actual Marmite issues: you both love them or hate them. I hope this recipe brings again a couple of reminiscences.”
