Why spam and eggs?

Question

Some days ago, i had read about spam and eggs in a lesson. Where does it come from? Who knows it?

Answer 1

"The Python programming language, named after Monty Python, prefers to use spam, ham, and eggs as metasyntactic variables, instead of the traditional foo, bar, and baz; the name "egg" is also used for an installation package format for Python libraries."

Spam (Monty Python)
