Spam in Japan
Spam became common place in Japan after WWII, it was about the only meat that the locals could get hold of on the black market after the Americans moved in.
It's still quite widely sold in supermarkets (especially in Okinawa), and the serving suggestion illustrated on the can is this exact dish! I had a remarkably tasty spam salad in Okinawa a few years ago.
