RSM Vic Jackson MM, was a great story teller and always had at least one tale to tell us when he visited our museum. One of the stories was about Spam and the many different ways that the cooks prepared it. One way was to dip it in batter and fry it. Vic dubbed it "Horse Cock"

Before I begin this addition to Art Johnsons thread, I want Karman and all you delicate ladies on MLU to cover your eyes as this response is not censored.
Some time between late 1941 and 42 the chefs were given a new delicacy for their fine menu's. It was a salami type canned meat in a long roll, God knows I don't know what its true ingredient was. But, if you have ever lived on a farm where they raised horses you will understand the slang. I remember someone asking the cook just what in the hell is this that we are eating and our "B" Company chef who had a great sense of humor said look at it, what the hell does it look like? it is a horse cock man. That name stuck with this culinary delight forever.
