Scrapple is what bacon wishes it was.

and Mainers don't seem to suffer from many of the lingustical deficiencies that you listed, though everyone knows it's an italian sandwich, not a hero or a grinder or a hoagie or a sub or any of that crap.

Bacon?  If anything, scrapple is more like hillbilly pork meatloaf.  And if you've ever eaten sausage, you've essentially eaten chitterlings.


FFS.

Look, I'm FROM Pennsylvania.  We had people who made scrapple not far away.

Scrapple is lips and assholes, mushed up to attempt to make it edible.  Ewg.

If I want dead pig, give me THIS.

Lips and assholes are some of the best parts of a pig. That's why everyone likes sausage and hot dogs.

and there is NOTHING in the world that tastes better at 5am after a night of serious drinking than a fried scrapple sandwich on white bread with ketchup. Cheese and fried egg optional.

It's also snout, feet, ears, tails and eyes.

Scrapped until it's just a coating, and filled with other meat - gooness.  Not trotted out as some sort of stand alone dish.

LMNO is right, chitlins are just whatever's in a sausage without the casing. I can't do scrapple, though.

I've eaten some strange shit, but I really just don't like the taste of entrails. I mean, sausage is usually spiced enough to hide it, but I couldn't do haggis. I DID try it, btw. I just didn't like it. Mama always said to try it twice.

Tell ya what, LMNO.  You haul up here, make or bring a GOOD batch, and I'll give it a fair taste.  (I've had scrapple in PA, that I KNOW is meh, but, fair deal, I'll try that, again, too.)  

Heck, if I'll offer to eat Richter's infamous vindaloo, and if I'll drink some of the stuff I've seen come out of bottles he's holding, it's the least I can do.

Quite possible, but I get texture issues with food.  Some things I can't eat not because of flavor, but because the texture literally makes me gag.  This was one of 'em.

They who blaspheme against pizza should be punished with all due severity and righteousness. But being from Pennsylvania also, and currently residing in Georgia after a ten year stint in Iowa . . . The only dialect debacle I keep encountering is the 'pop' versus 'soda' thing and these damn fools putting grilled pickles and banana peppers on their Philly cheesesteaks.


Also, don't forget head cheese. Publix deli sells their version of that stuff. Like meat bits suspended in clear jello. Almost as gross as the original.

I loooove Publix. The rest of the country, however, doesn't know what the fuck that is (it's a really awesome grocery store that's a little more upscale and has a lot of specialty foods but not as high-cost as say; Whole Foods or The Fresh Market). However, chances are, the head cheese you're seeing at Publix is Boar's Head.

By that logic though, it has contained shit, and will be exposed to shit.  As opposed to other food which may just be exposed to shit.  The chitterlings represent a double threat of scat scrapings.

Ya know what pisses me off? American "Italian" Food... specifically all the people with a Hollywood gangster sounding last name that believes one should stew tomatoes for 10 hours because that's the "traditional" Italian style. How about all that "Italian" Pizza... Really? Your great great great grandma in Sicily made Deep Dish Pizza in the 1800's before your family came over on the boat? You sure she wasn't your Great Grandma in Chicago during the Depression? And what the fuck are you still talking about that boat for?!

I mean, FFS I don't care if you want to identify with the genetics of three or four generations ago, but at least try to get the food right... if you're gonna claim it as anything close to 'ethnic'. It's like a Mexican making food from Taco Bell and telling me its an old family recipe, something no self respecting Mexican would do (and I am told by my Puerto Rican friends that Mexicans have no self respect*). Either way, they STILL aren't about to hand me a Gordita and tell me its their Great Great Aunts recipe!!!

Ya know what pisses me off? American "Italian" Food... specifically all the people with a Hollywood gangster sounding last name that believes one should stew tomatoes for 10 hours because that's the "traditional" Italian style. How about all that "Italian" Pizza... Really? Your great great great grandma in Sicily made Deep Dish Pizza in the 1800's before your family came over on the boat? You sure she wasn't your Great Grandma in Chicago during the Depression? And what the fuck are you still talking about that boat for?!

I mean, FFS I don't care if you want to identify with the genetics of three or four generations ago, but at least try to get the food right... if you're gonna claim it as anything close to 'ethnic'. It's like a Mexican making food from Taco Bell and telling me its an old family recipe, something no self respecting Mexican would do (and I am told by my Puerto Rican friends that Mexicans have no self respect*). Either way, they STILL aren't about to hand me a Gordita and tell me its their Great Great Aunts recipe!!!


*My Mexican friends say other things about the Puerto Ricans...


Ask them both about the Dominicans. 

I once made empenadas that passed for Puerto Rican, barely.  I can't jsutify enough sazon and adobo to get them exactly the same.


I once had a ridiculous argument with someone who assured me that Italians had mastered the tomato in the Middle Ages. It made the baby Scappi cry.

Wut.

Tomatoes are nightshades. They were considered poisonous. The earliest sign of Italian recipes using tomatoes isn't until the 1500s and it's Venetian and essentially just stewed tomatoes. Please tell me this person was not a SCAdian. I'm not even a cook and I know that.

Damn I can't keep up!!!

OK I agree with everything Suu said in the OP. 

Chitlins, what to say on chitlins. Squid was correct in that they are the intestinal casings.  Another thing is I don't care how clean they are, they fucking stink when you cook them. I'm wondering how many here have actually eaten them?

Now I can eat them as long as they are prepared far away from me and my nose.  I'm not saying they are a favorite but I've eaten them.

Scrapple, now scrapple is potentially (if mixed with the correct spices) one of the most wonderful foods in the world.  Just like ECH said, a fried egg and scrapple sandwich after a night of drinking.  MMMMmmmmm  OMG now I want scrapple really really bad.

I don't care one way or another for chowder.  The only one I like is the version made with a cream base and the best I ever had was made by a neighbor of my mom's who came down to Florida from Maine every winter.  She brought the clams and they were not chewy at all, so maybe she did use the cherrystone or possibly littleneck ones IDK.  I have a recipe for corn chowder, but I guess it isn't really chwder because it doesn't have clams?  I don't know but it's delicious whatever it is  :D


Publix is the best store IN THE US and I, like Suu, would be more than happy to donate an ovary or uterus to get one up here in St. Louis. 

Hoops, funny story.  When I had first moved to Florida back in the late 80's I was at a stop light with a girlfriend headed to the beach.  These mexican guys pulled up beside us and started talking to my friend.  They wanted us to meet them at the Pube-Licks parking lot and go to some party with them.  Probably should have considering.  That story has converted many to calling Publix Pube-Licks.  My dad called it that to the day he died. 

Now if y'all want some fucked up shit, come on over to the midwest.  They deep fry the ravioli here.  The favorite pizza of St. Louis is IMO's and they use provel cheese instead of mozzerella or parmesan and I think it tastes funny.  Then, they cut it in squares so it never comes out even and somebody always gets more which makes everyone mad.  Then we have Budweiser, that alone is enough to make St. Louis suck ass for all eternity.

My first thought was, "damn, the first person to actually eat one of those things HAD to have been hungry."  It was immediately followed by, "nah, had to have been a bar bet."

Really?  Because my first thought was MMMMMMMM.

Suu, I've lived my whole life a half hour from your state capital and I haven't heard a good number of those.

I also learned recently that Rhode Island has a disturbing term for hot dogs.  What was it?  Throaters?  Phallus munchies?  BJ sticks?  I can't fucking remember.

I once had a ridiculous argument with someone who assured me that Italians had mastered the tomato in the Middle Ages. It made the baby Scappi cry.

Wut.

Tomatoes are nightshades. They were considered poisonous. The earliest sign of Italian recipes using tomatoes isn't until the 1500s and it's Venetian and essentially just stewed tomatoes. Please tell me this person was not a SCAdian. I'm not even a cook and I know that.

Not to mention tomatoes are native to the new world...just like potatoes, and corn, and chillies.

Lips and assholes are some of the best parts of a pig. That's why everyone likes sausage and hot dogs.

and there is NOTHING in the world that tastes better at 5am after a night of serious drinking than a fried scrapple sandwich on white bread with ketchup. Cheese and fried egg optional.

Doner Kebab with garlic sauce and hot sauce.

The hot sauce probably being sriracha. Seriously, I still need to thank whoever brought up that godly concoction. As well as thank the local Asian super to stock it. That shit *indeed* goes with everything. Current favourite is mixing it through a pasta carbonara. Not the kind I'd serve anybody else, but the kind that is glorious gimme-back-my-calories-food after running/working out.

I did try squid, was like chewing on a mouthful of rubber bands.

Wasn't cooked right.

hmmm but the squid rings, battered and deep fried. I like them, and I think the way they're sort-of rubber band like makes them more funny.

I mean, it's not like their tough like tendons or something.

I'd try 'em again if somebody assures me they're done like they're supposed to be done.  (I'm feeling adventurous, these days, why not?)  Might be a texture thing, though, like I said, I tend to react to things that way.  (Some people remember stuff better hearing it, or seeing it, me, I have to write it down.  It's not that I'm likely to ever look back at the notes, it's the physical act of writing it down that sets it in my memory.  Typing a list doesn't help unless I have the list with me, but if I hand-write it, if I leave it on the counter, I've got much better odds of remembering what was on the list.  I've rejected clothes that I loved, looking at them, just because, when I touched them the fabric made me go "ew.")

squid gets tough if it overcooks, and almost everybody overcooks it. To do it right you need your oil a bit hotter than a normal fryolator setting. At 340-350 (normal deep-fry temp), by the time the batter crisps and browns, the squid will be overdone and rubbery. Use a really light tempura-style batter, make sure the squid is patted dry and lightly floured before dunking in the wet batter, and fry it at 400 for 2 minutes.

I have to say the tenderest squid I ever ate was when the kids and I got the "hot pot" at our local chinese restaurant.

They who blaspheme against pizza should be punished with all due severity and righteousness. But being from Pennsylvania also, and currently residing in Georgia after a ten year stint in Iowa . . . The only dialect debacle I keep encountering is the 'pop' versus 'soda' thing and these damn fools putting grilled pickles and banana peppers on their Philly cheesesteaks.


Also, don't forget head cheese. Publix deli sells their version of that stuff. Like meat bits suspended in clear jello. Almost as gross as the original.

I loooove Publix. The rest of the country, however, doesn't know what the fuck that is (it's a really awesome grocery store that's a little more upscale and has a lot of specialty foods but not as high-cost as say; Whole Foods or The Fresh Market). However, chances are, the head cheese you're seeing at Publix is Boar's Head.

Yup. It's Boar's Head brand Head cheese. It may be awesome, LMNO, but it looks scary as hell.

Fuck you.  Head cheese rules.

's called Zure Zult in Dutch. you don't have the vowel gland to pronounce the first word, but second is "Zalt".

it scares me when I look at it, I never dared to eat it. but I can hazard a guess, that it would taste fine, but nothing special, so I dunno :)
