Then there's a can of Libby's corned beef hash. Fried up extra crispy on the bottom topped off with steaming hot beef gravy and about a quarter cup of Tabasco. And a Guiness draft in a bottle.

Dominicks used to carry the best pork-rinds. It was a large bag and all the pieces were fluffy. None of these unchewable pieces.

Of course they stopped carrying them.

I have Triscuits and cream cheese, I wish I'd bought oysters when I was at the store yesterday!

You reminded me, another sometimes food, not super-unhealthy but nothing I'd want to eat more than every other month or so, is corned beef brisket slow-cooked with cabbage, carrots and potatoes. LOVE that stuff!

OK...no offense, but: I can't freaking believe people eat pork rinds. Um, ewwwwwww.

My mom would get what they called "cracklins" from the butcher shop and I could not believe people ate that crap.

I think you have to have eaten them before you knew what they were.

Actually, it's a good thing from the "don't waste anything" point of view.

Not scrapple, though; dear god, not that!

I spent a couple years in Philly and was baffled at the popularity of scrapple. I mean, I don't really mind consuming the less popular animal parts I just don't want to be able to actually recognize them as I'm eating them.

I always thought they should grind it up a little more but maybe that's the whole point, I dunno.

Scrapple smells like death. I have no idea what it tastes like... I'd rather eat fried pig skin. Bleh.
Let's go back to baked potatoes and mac & cheese...

Reminds me of MMMmm... roasted pig skin! Gramma always cooked her hams skin on; she called the crispy crunchity skin "scuda" (sp? Maybe it's a Polish thing?) and we always gobbled up the skin first. OMG. Soooo. good.

I even like scrapple. If it's made right. (Spent too much time in the south, what can I say?)

But I will NOT eat burgoo. No no nonono nononononoooo.
