hi all--------

I believe that scrapple was a better version of spackle.

spackle would be old dark bits of gristle congealed in mixture of animal fat and boiled marrow(for that slimey gritty texture true masochists enjoy) with the delicate taste and aroma of four day old road kill.

Dad used to buy this stuff wrapped in butchers paper and made comments like "we used to eat this stuff back in the depression"and then would go on about the good old days when suffering built character.If he was feeling really nostalgic he would serve it smeared on some stale and moldy bread.

Now as bad as it was,I remember a sense of pride in the fact that I could actually choke down one of these depression sandwiches without puking (dad could actually do it with a straight face,but I think his taste buds must have been shot off in the war or something)

much love----------knuckle

boiled peanuts--yummy, and they only get slimey if you cook them too long. beng a georgian i like fried green tomatoes, grits, poke sallet, and sweet tea(the kind that's mostly sugar) too.

Yes!!! And baked 'coon and collard greens with cornbread! Chicken and dumplings with red beans and cornbread! In fact, just about anything with cornbread or bisquits!!! Any of you yankees ever eat something called "liver mush?" I was up in Michigan (I think that's where it was) and they brought me some one morning for breakfast. They told me to put it on toast! YUCK!!!! I asked them if they had grits and they stared at me like I was from Mars! They had never heard of grits. How deprived they are up there!!! Grits and butter, grits and syrup, grits and gravy, grits and jam, grits and ANYTHING is cat larrypping! Very Happy

My Dad was from Virginia.....one night he drove us from the house whilst cooking tripe.

I preferred the fried chicken he cooked with chicken gravy and mashed potatoes.

But.....it don't hold a candle to a great meatball parm hero. Very Happy

Do you have Bovril or OXO in America? It is like Marmite, but instead of vegetables it is made out of Beef! You can even drink it.

We have that in Canada, so I'd say they probably have it in the States too. I prefer not to use it, myself.
