If you realized that "Chock Full of Nuts" used to be a doughnut shop chain here
in the US that had a particularly good coffee (prior to Starbucks, et al) the
name is not so strange at all. Come to think of it Starbucks is kind of a
strange name for coffee.

Subject: PESO: What is this stuff?
On my recent trip to Maui, I spotted a can of this stuff:

I understand this is a Brit "delicacy" of sorts, which was sent to an
English expat in Hawaii. Can one of the British members of the list
explain what (and perhaps why) this stuff is?
The Hawaiians thought it was quite strange, and they regularly enjoy
Spam (the Armour kind, not the email kind.)
TIA,
