The fact that the recipe section even allows for the possibility of Spam desserts is deeply unsettling.

The fact that the 2002 winner was a spam and jam sandwich disturbs me. Even though I have had (and enjoyed) a medianoche sandwich which had strawberry jam, ham, and pork as some of the ingredients.

In Mexico, I had a hamburger with chicken liver, cream cheese, and mint jelly. Does that make sense?

Hmmm. I'd try it without the liver. I can't abide liver in any form.
I hear in Bolivia they put crushed potato chips on hot dogs.
The first medianoche I had had the strawberry jam but was otherwise a Cuban on a sweet roll. It was... actually quite tasty. It was made by a Cuban-American co-worker. But generally I prefer Porto's (only place for a real Cuban sandwich around here), which come with just the standard pork, ham, cheese, mustard, mayo, pickles. Although they also sell a medianoche preparada, which also has croquettes on it.
There's a place here that puts carrots in their potato salad. I thought that was bizzare but it's quite good.

(For the record, yes, I'm Mormon, adult convert who was raised mostly Presbyterian by a mom who was raised Baptist and is now Episcopalian, and a dad who is nothing much but is "culturally Catholic", and liked to take us to his Buddhist friend's stuff, in a family that includes devout Catholics, Lutherans, and Southern Baptists. Oh, and I spent a year in 12th grade at a Reform Jewish school that had a Conservative rabbi and some Orthodox students. So I'm theologically Mormon with a cultural influence of an awful lot of things. )
