A lot of food items are very highly priced in Hawaii because of the added transportation costs, and one of those things is meat. Hawaiians were introduced to Spam during WWII, when it was served to Service personnel there and the locals began trying it, and it's been a low-cost substitute for other kinds of meat in traditional Hawaiian dishes ever since.
I've recently started keeping a couple of cans in the pantry and occasionally, like today, having a sandwich for lunch. Sometimes I'll fry it first. The wife thinks it's disgusting, so even though she normally does all the grocery shopping Spam is one of those things I buy myself and don't ask her to. Ditto sardines, kipper snacks and smoked oysters. (And yes, the ultimate guy snack - Vienna sausages.)

I have to object to your allegation of there being "goop" in a can of Vienna Sausages. I have before me (you're going to have to take my word for it, but I really do) a freshly opened can of Vienna Sausages. The only substance discernable in the can at this time is water, which I am now tasting. Well, as expected, it tastes strongly of Vienna Sausages and is pretty salty. There is, however, no "goop". I rest my case.

Actually the description does not sound that bad.
But
Abstract
Sodium nitrite is a powerful oxidizing agent that causes hypotension and limits oxygen transport and delivery in the body through the formation of methemoglobin. Clinical manifestations can include cyanosis, hypoxia, altered consciousness, dysrhythmias, and death. The majority of reports on sodium nitrite poisonings have been the result of unintentional exposures. We report a case of an intentional fatal overdose of sodium nitrite. A 17-year-old female reportedly drank approximately one tablespoon of sodium nitrite in a self-harm attempt. The patient was hypotensive and cyanotic upon EMS arrival. The patient decompensated rapidly into a bradycardic arrest during transport despite intubation, push-dose epinephrine, and intravenous fluid resuscitation. In the Emergency Department (ED), she received methylene blue and packed red cells but could not be resuscitated despite a prolonged effort. EMS professionals should consider sodium nitrite toxicity in patients with a suspected overdose who present with a cyanotic appearance, pulse oximetry that remains around 85% despite oxygen, and dark brown blood seen on venipuncture. Early prehospital contact with the Poison Control Center and ED prenotification in poisoned patients is encouraged.
