When my son was taking marketing in college he had to do a project on a "yuck" product and he chose Spam.  Spam has an enormous market share in Hawaii and you would not BELIEVE some of the concoctions that are pictured on the Internet!

That Middle East hamburger/pizza hybrid reminds me of one of the pu-pu platter delights on the Spam sites.

IN FACT...I know it's late notice, but Spam Jam 2012 will be taking place in Honolulu starting TOMORROW!  Wheels up!

@Street Smart,

Like this? I know it's a UK specialty. But it does not sound appealing,

And even more specialty crusts from Pizza Hut:  fried chicken sticks with mozzarella from China; sausage pops from the Philippines; and the special Golden Fortune Cheesy Crown from Malaysia.

We could create a profitable diet scheme just by creating flash cards of these products. Feel hungry? Look at these. Now where's your appetite? Gone? Told you!

People would hit their ideal weight in days!

Yup, that hot dog pizza looks like an acquired taste, all right!  But looking at that little hot dog peeking out of the end of the crust I realized that the UK was the perfect place for this concoction because they'll be able to come up with some wonderful double entendre name for it like "bangers and mash" or "toad in the hole."

Every nationality gets the cuisine it deserves!

Oh, and there are other pizzas that make you say "what the hell is that?" now being served in the Middle East. Yes, a hybrid product—half cheeseburger, half pizza.

Dorito shell taco's look like gourmet fare compared to the latest from Taco Bell. This made me quesy all day. I think the mustard drizzle pushed it over the top. Please note: This is only available in the UK. Maybe a nation that enjoys smashed peas -- and beans for breakfast -- also enjoys a hearty pizza?

I know. Not to mention the simple economic truth: Isn't it cheaper just to use real chicken?

When I heard about the Doritos Taco Bell shell I think my first reaction was nausea.

It's interesting the theme of "China consumer awakening" seems to be gaining momentum -- Apple's earninings involved lots of Chinese growth, YUM is doing great there, and many other companies are seeing expansion from the Chinese consumer.
