Ingredients:

1 Large can of SPAM/Pork luncheon meat etc.

sharp knives & booze = lost digits) Add to pan & fry over a gentle heat.
When soft, cube the Spam & add to onions. Turn the heat up to seal the Spam chunks
At this point the water should be boiling so add the rice 7 optional spices.

When onions are a nice golden brown add WHOLE can of vindaloo paste & stir in.
Then fill the empty can 1/2 full of red wine & swill round to clean the can, then add to pan.
