I really liked the flavors in this! I was looking for something different to do with rice, and glad I tried this one. My kids were unsure of trying Spam, but they ate the whole thing! (I tripled the recipe except for the mushrooms and used a whole can of Spam.) The directions were very, very clear & easy to follow. This is a keeper for my family! Thanks, Bill! :)
