Spam is considered a delicacy in Hawaii, largely because during World War II it was one of the easiest meat products to get. The fact that it could be shipped in from the mainland without refrigeration meant that it could be shipped to the islands and to the battlefronts without special handling (like refrigerated ships). In some parts of the Pacific (the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas Islands) where Spam is served in MacDonalds, and a popular snack in Hawaii is Spam Sushi.
