The only missing ingredient was you, @Anna N! I do have to say that your posts on the bread thread were what got me to make that loaf - yours always looks so delicious.

 

@Shelby - Kat left with a load of mugs and bowls - she won the pottery lottery and got her pick from the bins languishing in my closet. Come to Buffalo and you can too!

Nothing is better than frying in lard.

Nothing.  Do not quote me on this.

I love the salt & pepper shakers - they're like little sculptures!

 

Those are some of my most treasured possessions - made by a fellow potter friend who calls them Salt and Pepper Stones. Painstaking process with an exquisite result.

I've never tried scrapple but I'm a fan of goetta. I was going to ask if they're similar but the above leads me to believe they are not. There's no organ meats in the goetta I make.

 The world is full of wonderful things to eat: tripe and onions, pickled herring, smoked eel.  Neither haggis nor scrapple  show up on my list of wonderful things.  Your mileage may vary and apparently does. And once again I celebrate our differences knowing full well that I am right and you are wrong.:P

Wheres the fried egg? Scrapple needs a fried egg or 2 on top to make it a real scrapple experience.

My father used to go to the Reading Terminal Market in Phila. on Fridays and come home with  scrapple , sausages, and sometimes cup cheese. He's cut off a thin slice of the scrapple  from the end with all the congealed fat on it and eat it with enthusiasm.  He, and the dog, and I would all eat cup cheese (it was  similar in may ways to LePages mucilage, the glue that came in the bottle with the red rubber nipple on the top. When spread on bread the cheese tended to make the bread curl up) but my mother and brother didn't even want the container of cheese opened when they were in the room.
