I like PEK, spam is awful tho;

Spam is spamlicious.

What is the purpose of the peanut butter? In that small amount, it's probably not for really for taste - thickening? Wouldn't corn starch or flour work just as well or better?

 

And I don't know about other areas, but Spam doesn't seem very cheap here, per pound. I thought one of it's hallmarks was being cheap.

 

 

Peanut butter fills in some gaps in the flavour and compliments the lentils. You can use a whole teaspoon if you like peanuts. No one is allowed to throw in a spoon on its own.
