Y’all need to make a GH hat and wear it on GH day in Punxsutawney (sp?) for the bg reveal each year! LOL

Ah.... no livermush and grits up there. Scrapple don't cut it.

But you can have such fine PA food as liverwurst, keilbassi, fried egg on you hamburger, frenchfries and steak on your salad (the only good thing I mentioned so far), hamloaf (gack) and yes, scraple. That kinda food helps us grow em big here...

 

[MrMajestic]

Scrapple, mmmm
Fried potatoes with sausage gravy and dippy eggs on top!

Tried some, not bad, but not livermush. You ain't lived till you've eaten my grits. Made with milk, not water. Stone ground. Country ham and two spoonfuls of red eye gravy - make you want to smack your momma.

Scrapple? Grits? Livermush? Hamloaf?

No run but fruit and granola.

Skinny butthead I bet. I lived that way once and then embraced my inner Lineman.
edit - not sure about hamloaf. Yankee thing I reckon.

Yep, 6', 155. been that way forever. Loafs were/are popular because they're cheap. My father would load up on olive loaf, pimento loaf and honey loaf sandwiches for hunting trips. Us kids thought it was just a step up from dog food and wouldn't eat them. Hoagie with legs for us.

Ham or sausage biscuit here. Country ham is an art I took for granted in my youth. Good stuff.

I was that size once - senior year, 1983.

I am with you Hog! I moved away, discovered good food. Moved back...dang.

Hamloaf looks like that pink slush that some fast food places got in trouble for calling it food/meat. I recall(from childhood when it was forced on me) it tastes like ham/bacon but dang it just looks awful. It and pimento loaf, brunschwieger and limberger cheese are a PA thing. Bottom line? Folks here just ain't got no imagination. Or maybe they do...and they imagine that stuff is good.

We use all the pig except for the squeal. Mom made some great souse! Souse and saltines was a special evening for us.

No way Jose. I don't care if there are kids starving in China.

That's "head cheese"..

...made with flesh from the head of a calf or pig, or less commonly a sheep or cow, and often set in aspic. The parts of the head used vary, but the brain, eyes, and ears are usually removed. The tongue, and sometimes the feet and heart, may be included. It can also be made from trimmings from pork and veal, adding gelatin to the stock as a binder.

My dad ate that made with the brain. Dad has been dead a long time.

Yes Capt., Headcheese is made in a brine and Souse is the pickled version. Mom used just the feet. I remember watching her pull the nails off. Later version included some mild ring peppers and they kicked it up a notch!

I killed a couple hundred rock chucks this year. Never thought for a second about eating them. What a stinky rotten little creature. Biggest was around 8 pounds based on comparing the weight of a gallon of milk to what it felt like picking it up. (very scientific stuff) If times were tough enough I could probably eat anything right up to boiled shoe leather, but times are not that tough....

Not a biggun but these guys are getting tough. The dummies have been eradicated and the wily old veterans seem to come out of their holes just long enough to give you the bird and then back down waiting to hear the truck start.
