Varmintmist,

Is scrapple a PA thing? In my travels I've always gotten a dumb look when I mention it.

Pretty much. I did find a butcher in WA that made it. I think you need a pretty much German decended population to find it.

I've heard of the scrapple; never eaten it, and it's been many years since we butchered our own hogs and beef, so it's been that long since I've had the baked tongue and heart, but I recall being right fond of both. Of course my wife says NO WAY!

No, they call me a redneck coz I tell them metro types that sushi is Japanese for bait.
(It has nothing to do with plinking with the .22 on the front porch.)

In Scotland, it's haggis. Made mostly from the offal of sheep far as I can tell, but man it's good. They eat 'black pudding' too, made from curdled hog's blood. I tried it, but they eat it at breakfast and it just didn't take with me. Not sure what the british term for redneck is. Mebbe 'scotsman'.

"In Scotland, it's haggis"

I thought haggis was a sheep's stomach.. stuffed w/ wheat & barley?

Basically it is. This taken from another website:

"Scots like to tell visitors the haggis is a small native animal that has adapted to Scotland's steep hills by growing legs shorter on one side. In fact, it's a logical food for people who once had to feed families on tight resources. Each winter, a farm family would sacrifice an adult sheep or two so the sparse grazing land could support the spring lambs.

"They'd kill an animal and use every part -- nose to tail," says Alan Ackroyd, who sells about 500 haggis a year from his stores in Redford and Birmingham.

Traditionally, the haggis is made with a sheep's stomach as a casing. It is filled with oats, onions, spices and the other edible organs that are cooked first and then chopped up. These are called "pluck," -- things plucked from the sheep carcass -- and include the "lights," or lungs."
