WHERE we lead, the world follows. My recent column about Spam (the Python connection) has raised its profile so high that they are now giving awards out for it.
Sadly, it's not the best virtual junk mailing that will be garnering the gongs, but the tinned pig meat kind.
Being a Veggie and a webhead, I'm not Spam's biggest fan in any of its forms, but those of you interested in what happens to Pinky or Perky post-abattoir will doubtless be keen to know that the winners included Celebrity SPAMite of the Year, following his declaration that he thinks SPAM is gorgeous, while actor David Jason managed to scoop the runner-up certificate.
Orlando Murrin souffled his way to being the SPAM Celebrity Chef of the Year after creating a delectable souffle recipe, while Leslie Walters picked up the runner-up certificate with a mouth-watering SPAM Crostini.
The Spam website, by the way, is a veritable feast of tinned porcine by-products, where you can buy clothing and join the official Spam fan club online.
Strange, but by internet standards, not.
