It's a "potted meat product". But the common date is not ironic, it's just almost unbelieveably coincidental. I wonder if it's true. If so, we can start telling journalists that's where spam got its name, and stop confusing them with Monty Python skits. :-)

Of course nobody actually eats SPAM, except in Hawaii.
