Just looked at a recipe on line; it calls for a sheep's liver, heart, tongue and lung minced and stuffed into the stomach of a sheep with spices. Boil it on high for three hours and serve with mashed potatoes. How people come up with recipes such as this I'll never know. The only thing they forgot was the prairie oysters.

It is called Haggis. I would really have to be hungry. OTOH, I really like hogs head cheese made the old fashioned way where you start by boiling a whole hogs head in a wash pot, scrape everything off the bone and grind it up with the proper seasoning. The ears and snout are a little crunchy, but it is quite good.

Is t that “Scrapple”?

After looking up scrapple, it appears to have similar beginings. it seems that Scrapple is made into a loaf in a pan. Jiternice, or hogs head cheese, is finished by stuffing the ground up mixture in a casing made from the cleaned hog large intestine and are about 6" long. After being stuffed and tied on the ends, it is put into a boiling pot of water for about 3-5 minutes to shrink and cook the intestine. At least that was the way the old bohemians did it when I was growing up.
Looks like scrapple is a Pennsylvania thing and could be almost identical to what I have described. Just a different name for geographical location.

Jiternice is pronounced Yee-ter-neats-uh

And all of it is...best left on somebody else’s plate.
