Mod 20 : I believe they mean the “the man of mystery meat”. Mystery meat is a nickname for meats such as Spam (not the kind that you get on your computer) that come in a can and nobody is quite sure what type of animal the ingredients began life as. These meats (there are others – Klik, Kam Spork to name a few – but Spam is the most popular) gained most of their popularity during WW2 in England, where real meat was strictly rationed. Nowadays, apparently many people are still fans of this product, although in recent years the most popular use has been as a modeling media. Somewhere in the world, a number of people with far too much time on their hands, have an annual (I think) contest building large structures using Spam. I have seen some pictures online and it is hard to believe that these things were built from a canned gelatinous substance. BTW, there is also an annual contest using butter to build various items. When you think about it, it would be far better if these food products (even of dubious value) could be shipped overseas to areas where hunger is a big issue. Perhaps the World Health Organization doesn’t think that canned mystery meat is the ideal product for use in famine ravaged areas.
