Although Spam is commonly referred to as "poor people food", the perception of Spam in Hawaii is quite different. We eat it all the time. There are at least 3 Hawaii cookbooks dedicated to Spam on Amazon.com.

Hawaii's 2nd Spam Cookbook
Hawaii Cooks with Spam: Local Recipes Featuring Our Favorite Canned Meat
According to Wikipedia, Hawaii, Guam, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands consume the most Spam per capita in the United States.
Visit the Waikiki Spam Jam website to find out more information about this peculiar event. There's only about 1 month left, so hurry and make your your hotel reservations. You may be lucky enough to win free Spam for 1 year (365 cans).
