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.

Heh. I spent some time in Tennessee, a little shitsplat town called Bell Buckle, where I first encountered burgoo. It's basically a "whatever you got" stew - beef, mutton, chicken, whatever's at hand - but in the rural south, they make it out of whatever they can shoot. Usually squirrel (and you have to include the brains; that's important), sometimes possom, raccoon, crow, rabbit.

Now, I'm not prejudiced. If people wanna eat squirrel brain stew, more power to 'em. I'm just not gonna go there with 'em, is all.
