Green Eggs and Ham<\/em>\u00a0is a book by beloved children\u2019s author Dr. Seuss. In the book, the main character, Sam-I-Am, tries to convince another unnamed character to taste the titular dish. When the character finally capitulates, they ultimately enjoy it. They\u00a0love<\/em>\u00a0it.<\/p>\n

What started as a $50 bet between Suess and his editor that the former couldn\u2019t write a book with a vocabulary of fewer than fifty words has become a hit enjoyed by generations of children. The book has also inspired many chefs to create their own IRL version of green eggs and ham, resorting to ingredients like parsley and spinach, or food coloring.<\/p>\n

In celebration of\u00a0Green Eggs and Ham\u2019s<\/em>\u00a065th anniversary, Spam and Dr. Seuss Enterprises have partnered to offer a limited edition twin pack of the ham-like tinned meat in specially themed packaging. Additionally, Spam has unveiled the first \u201cofficial\u201d green eggs and Spam\u00a0recipe<\/a>.<\/p>\n
