After reading this article I tried it for the first time and was pleased with its unique flavor, although I do not think I will try it again because of the fat content.

I enjoy it with a teensy bit of maple syrup (which is somewhat of a travesty I hear), but never got into really Enjoying it fully. I'm more partial to pickled red-beet eggs, sausage, and other vinegar+salt based cooking from that region. :)Maebiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15818255129828936381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12171673.post-44756685653380759992009-03-24T08:22:00.000-04:002009-03-24T08:22:00.000-04:00I forgot about souse!

It's got all the scraps (including whole ears, on occasion), and it looks like a gelatin loaf. My dad loves it. It stinks up the entire refrigerator. I was always afraid I'd come face to face with a disembodied eyeball (after I saw the ear).<BR/><BR/>Sorry, don't mean to project my childhood trauma on you. ::waves away the stench of memory::Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12171673.post-74323376975153416582009-03-23T21:13:00.000-04:002009-03-23T21:13:00.000-04:00People very similar to you probably are responsibl...People very similar to you probably are responsible for eating the first oyster, and inventing Bleu Cheese.

For example, chocolate chips on and between pancakes, and top it off with whip cream. YUM!!! Add in a glass of milk and you actually get protein with the meal. :PDancing With Feyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03493553137383118631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12171673.post-12136700419647777172009-03-23T19:19:00.000-04:002009-03-23T19:19:00.000-04:00My mom has me bring home scrapple from Reading Ter...My mom has me bring home scrapple from Reading Terminal.
