Especially so in eating or take out establishments on the "wet" side of the islands which is where most of the full time residents live. Most of the big name resorts are on the "dry" side where many of the permanent residents are employed, commuting from the other side each day. Spam entrees are a little harder to find in the resort areas, whereas on the "wet" side of each island you will find it in almost any place that serves cooked food.
I used to assume that the taste for the famous "mystery meat" was due to the availability of the product via the supply chain of the military bases located there. My theory doesn't seem to apply other places in the world where the US Military bases (Philippines, Guam, Japan, etc.) are/were located, however. Likewise, I don't recall ever knowing an X-US Military person who developed a liking to the product from exposure to it while they were in active service. Maybe Spam was imported there even before the military was there for feeding the workers on the sugar plantations? The mystery of the mystery meat, anybody know or have a more likely scenario? regards, Joe.
