For gelatin! The reason gelatin became so popular in the post war era is because of at-home refrigeration becoming widely available. Prior to having a refrigerator, you couldn’t make your own Jello, so it was seen as a fancy modern dessert that was difficult to get. Once fridges became common, it took a while for the allure of gelatin to wear off. Meaning lots of crazy recipes were invented just because people were stoked about gelatin

You can trace many places that have good local spam dishes back to the presence of longterm US military forces. Hawaii had Pearl Harbour and other Bases, Japan was occupied post WW2 and still has US bases, and Korea was introduced during the Korean War and also still has US bases. Spam and similar canned meats were a part of US military and humanitarian rations. History is fun
