Scrapple

from Wikipedia
Scrapple is typically made of hog offal, such as the head, heart, liver, and other scraps, which are boiled with any bones attached (often the entire head), to make a broth. Once cooked, bones and fat are discarded, the meat is reserved, and (dry) cornmeal is boiled in the broth to make a mush. The meat, finely minced, is returned, and seasonings, typically sage, thyme, savory, and others are added. The mush is cast into loaves and allowed to cool thoroughly until gelled. The proportions and seasoning are very much a matter of the region and the cook's taste.

Commercial scrapple often contains these traditional ingredients, with a distinctive flavor to each brand. A few manufacturers have introduced beef and turkey varieties and color the loaf to retain the traditional coloration derived from the original pork liver base.

Ummm...not exactly...but then again, maybe thats why I dont like it

i'd try a lot of things in this thread, but i'd reserve the right to have two bottles of mouthwash on hand, a toothbrush and some paste, a giant pack of super strong gum, and two bottles of water, one for nastiness, and one for the hell of it.

KidaDynamite said:

I don't eat either. But how can you eat something that makes you feel like you just stepped out of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre movie?

Also, there is really something about that name...HEAD CHEESE..that just turns my stomach.

the spicy boca chick patties are really tasty - they aren't messing around when they call 'em spicy.

and their faux burgers are good, but after being a veg for 20 years, a veggieburger patty is a veggieburger patty to me. they're an excuse for me to consume condiments and eat french fries.

the only veg faux meat products i've had that i DO NOT like, ironically enough, are trader joes' attempts at veggie burgers and chicken nuggets. nasty.

TJs has great veggie corndogs, though

Y'all are some fussy buggers, and it's irrational anyways, based on how something looks most of the time. You eat worse than this, whether you want to or not. Being vegetarian or vegan means only a statement of intent and an admirable effort most of the time too, unless you've a lab at home and you're analysing everything you consume. It's a shame really, but it's tough to control everything you eat these days. Still, it won't kill you, and be thankful you have food to eat at all!

VEGEMITE IS GOD.

The only thing I'll ever have on my toast is vegemite.

I used to love scrapple when I was little. My grandmother would get it fresh from the Amish ppl. She would flour it and fry it all crispy and I would put ketchup on it.
Once I became old enough to read the ingredients I have not been able to eat it.

We eat chicken feet, neck, pig ears, that kinda thing, from time to time. It's cheap above all else, and often makes a good snack when drinking beer. It's the same animal, but somehow the part of a slaughtered animal you eat is important, even though you're just talking about meat hacked off a dead animal. If it were just about quality then we'd never eat collar but instead would always eat the finest parts of an animal. We'd never eat minced meat either. I could totally understand why someone would think eating a pig's ear wasn't their bag if they were thinking they could just buy a better piece of meat instead, but the idea that it's somehow disgusting is laughable to me. How about fish stomach soup? Is that any worse somehow than eating the meat of a fish, or maybe the eggs of shrimp or salmon as is so often found with sushi? Heart, liver, kidneys, boiled blood, it's all good to me if it tastes good. Besides, that stuff is good for you.

How about dog soup? No, you can't eat dogs apparently. Rat? Horse? Why would they be off-limits? I've read that pigeon is quite popular in the UK these days.

I used to love me some pork rinds when I was younger..the spicier the better.
I can't eat them anymore... I gotta try to keep some of my figure.
At least until after I get married

Oh and I could never be a proper Briton.. I hate Marmite.

shanti0608 said:

I love Marmite, but I can see how all of those 'mites' could be horrible to some. It's quite a strange taste, to be fair.

When I have a beer, ie. every single day at the moment Mon buys me this crispy chicken skin. I know it's just like pure fat, but damn if it's not the most delicious snack when you're drinking beer! That or sour unripe mango stolen from the trees next door.

Fauxie said:

I do not like beer either which I guess is a good thing if it is going to make me want to snack on chicken skins.
Lately I have been snacking on walnuts and dried cherries for some reason. They are good together.
