Want Some Spam with Your Pasta?

Hormel Foods is the House of SPAM (the canned meat, not the email product). Its product list spans all kinds of canned, cured and deli meats.

As far as we can see, there isn't a noodle anywhere in the place. So, it stands to reason that Hormel devotes one extensive page to a useful, if basic, guide to dried pasta: ingredients, flavors, shapes, cooking directions, matching sauces to pasta, Asian versus Italian, etc.

But that's not all! Pasta just takes up just one page of Hormel's Knowledge department. It's a good, handy quick reference section, which will be useful if you keep your computer near your cooking space.

Now, if they could just make the Find It Fast quick-search function less annoying. It floats and bounces alongside the copy. You can close it but then you have to move back and forth among pages to find things.
