I tucked into this fried egg spamwich with some trepidation, not sure what sort of flavours I was going to expect, and in all honesty, so did my son.

What you need to do is to thinly slice the spam, fry it, and put it in a sandwich with fried onions on the bottom, a runny fried egg on the top and a generous slosh of your favourite bbq sauce, maybe on a brioche bun or some nice bread.”Ĭooking on cast iron in the outdoors also helps improve the flavour of absolutely everything too, right? Plus the seasoning of that little bit of beach sand that invariably ends up in the food. He said mashed potatoes and Spam? “No, you just don’t do that. I spoke with a chef friend of mine, a chef who cooks for hundreds of gas plant workers here in Shetland every single day. I’m sure my family still haven’t forgiven me. In fact, I can honestly say I have only ever cooked it the once, as an experiment, and I did something awful with mashed potatoes with Spam mashed up in it, like a Spam corned beef and hash. Spam is not something that regularly appears on our plates. Spam, you ask? Why Spam of all things?! Ok, I’m not going to lie. May 8th – 14th 2016 is National Sandwich Week in Britain – “a week-long celebration of the greatest food to go and quite possibly the most iconic British culinary invention, the Sandwich.” To find out more about this celebration visit Our contribution to this national celebration? A fried egg picnic spamwich. So, my eldest set the blanket out and assumed the position of basking in the sun while I prepared our lunch. We also saw a few great skuas(bonxies), arctic terns(tirricks) and one single lonely seal poked its head out of the sea to have a look at what we were up to. Their darting ways are quite amusing, like they fear getting their feet wet. I love watching these birds flit along the water edge searching for food underneath rocks and seaweed. The only occupants on this large stretch of sand when we arrived was a handful of turnstones. Packing some simple provisions – my Mariner’s Compass handmade quilt (our family picnic blanket and the first quilt I ever sewed together) a gas camping stove, a cast iron pan, an onion, a tin of spam, some sauce, fizzy juice, chocolate and some sun-dried tomato and Parmesan bread rolls I’d made the day before, we hit the sand and the sun. So, on this gorgeous beautiful Monday when he would normally have been at school, I convinced him to get out of bed (how can teenage boys sleep for so long?!) and come along with me for a beach picnic.
S5 and S6 are done in the town school, a half hour drive from here. Our rural high school only goes up to Secondary 4. My eldest son has finished all his exams for this year, meaning he’s got a few weeks off before he starts high school at a different school. Some outdoor adventuring was needing to be had. It rarely gets that hot here in Shetland even in the middle of the summer, let alone the beginning of May. In reality, the car temperature thermometer read 22 C.

16 degrees C, the BBC weather app was saying, with full sun the entire day. Good weather was predicted for yesterday.
