Luncheon meat is called luncheon meat because during World War II, only people from the middle class and above were eligible to eat the spam brand of meat for lunch. When China expanded its market, it was named luncheon meat. When preserving luncheon meat, it can be refrigerated.

We are all familiar with Merlin luncheon meat, but there are two manufacturers of Merlin, one is Shanghai Merlin and the other is COFCO Merlin. The earliest Shanghai Merlin did not have export qualifications, and COFCO was responsible for exporting. Later, Shanghai Merlin obtained export qualifications, but COFCO was unwilling to give up the old brand "Merlin", so the relationship between the two was rather subtle. Although they are both called Merlin lunch meat, Shanghai Merlin has a better taste in terms of taste. It has a traditional flavor, with only pork and accessories. It has a leaner texture and is not oily overall. The meat is elastic and solid, and the aroma is also online.
