    You don't like JA bacon? IMHO it is WAY superior to pre-cooked yuck.

    Spam and pre-cooked bacon should be ok with customs.

    "Knock-off Spam" has been added to my collection of oxymorons. Thanks! BTW, who would produce generic Spam? Outside of Hawaii, is there any demand globally?

    You might want to try Jamaican cigs. Craven "A" is pretty good for a non-menthol brand, I hear...

    Bringing Spam to JA because you don't like JA food.....now I have read it all!

    If you like Newports, I would recommend trying Matterhorn..a JA menthol cig. Quite smooth and easily found. Regarding spam..well, I like their chicken and fish...no spam for me. I would assume since it is canned, that their wouldn't be a problem..but I truly have no clue.

    Don't want to get in on argument of any kind but just my own experience I bring cheddar cheese and dairy fudge with me every trip, have been searched a couple times and no one said a word, they dump out the boxes I travel them in and see what it is and that it. I always bring a couple things i can't get there that i like.

    ummmmmmmmmmm
    for moi, this is an *interesting* deja vu type thread (i.e., regarding Spam)

    it was JUST the other-day,
    i email-ed my Jamaica/Lucea-mentor
    that i was soon-come-ing down

    i asked Ja-mentor, if they wanted me to bring them any Spam

    here's their redacted email response (below):::

    so,
    they WANT Spam, fi sure

    why..??.. they want it
    why..??.. i offered to bring some

    'cause this past-Summer,
    while they were in USofA working on their MastersDegree
    ..they took-back to-Jamaica a bunch of Spam

    i laugh-ed
    and asked '.Why..??..'

    dem-SAY:::>> '..USofA Spam tastes better .... it has a higher salt content, than what is offered/for-sale in Jamaica..'


    p.s... for-YEARS, i've offer-ed to bring-down stuff
    for my Ja-mentor

    each-time dem-SAY::>> "..Nope.... don't need/want nutin.."

    THIS is the FIRST-time they've said '..YES..' (with enthusiasm)

    If there is a demand, I would think Jamaicans would have figured out how to satisfy it....SPAM isn't too hard a recipe to decipher(pork shoulder and ham) and made with JA piggies might even be palatable....

    THAT is a fantastic *theory*

    HOWEVER,
    in my limited Ja-experiences
    of shopping & window-shopping around the island
    and
    notice-ing all those China-man shops, stores, etc.,
    and
    read-ing the tags & labels on consumer goods
    and
    hearing & reading all the chat encourage-ing folks to ".Buy Jamaican."
    it *seems* to my feeble-mind & pea-brain
    that your theory is just a theory (unfortunately)

    for example,
    a significant number of staples & high-demand-ed thing-ys
    come from someplace else

    sugar ---- from Trinidad
    bottled water --- from Trinidad
    mariners (aka '.wife-beater.' tee-shirts) --- from China
    produce ---- from other-places, NOT Jamaica
    chicken meat ---- from USA

    BUT that is a great *theory*
