US military slang for tinned or canned meat — typically the unidentifiable processed meat products issued as field rations. The term expresses soldiers' low regard for the quality of the food, likening it to something barely fit for primates. Part of a tradition of military food nicknames.
A British and Canadian term for processed, cooked meat sold pre-sliced or in tins, equivalent to American 'lunch meat'. The canned variety — most famously represented by Spam — became associated with postwar austerity in Britain, giving the word a slightly downmarket connotation. Today it can refer to any variety of packaged cold meat used in sandwiches.
