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.

I fed my beloved Scrapple when we were in Philly last summer. She was ambivalent about it. It's not something she would import to eat but if it happens to be on the plate...

Monster - is any of this like Pork Scratchings?

Pie · 03-09-2009, 09:53 AM

Yep. I've had Pork Scratchings at a pub in Bournemouth, and it's the same thing.

Pie! I never realised you'd come here!
I usually ask Monnie because of her dual nationality. Now I know I have an additional translator

Grim, aren't they?
Esp the ones with hair on.

Yes, I was there in April of 2006. My father was undergoing 'compassionate use' cancer treatment at Royal Bournemouth Hospital.

We had a chance to look around a bit, but weren't there for very long. Sometime we will have to come back and do a proper tour!

Cracklin cornbread. Great if made with home made Cracklins. I'm guessing that scapple is what we call hoghead cheese here?

DanaC · 03-09-2009, 02:30 PM

Scratchings! thankyou I was tryng to remember that word

My sometimes food lately is pretty terrible and I've been loath to post it here, because it's become an almost every day food for me, and it's not even supposed to be food!

I don't know if you have Milo where you live, but we do here. As a kid, we'd always try and put as much milo in the glass and then the milk so there'd be crunchy bits on top.

Well, these days, I bypass the whole idea of crunchy bits on top, and reverse the the amounts of milk to milo ratio. So basically, I fill the glass with milo and just wet it with milk and eat it with a spoon.

This has been my one real craving during this pregnancy, and I'm not proud of it, and it's going to have to stop when the baby comes or I'll turn into a porker (pardon the pun). Thankfully I still haven't put on any weight to speak of, so I've gotten away with it. I don't see that lasting though.

This stuff?

What the heck is it? Is it like Nestle's Quik or ovalteen?

Aliantha · 03-09-2009, 08:33 PM

Yeah...it's kind of like ovalteen but so so much better.

Pico and ME · 03-09-2009, 08:36 PM

I like thin spaghetti smothered with grated Parmesan cheese and then mic'ed until the cheese gets bubbly and crispy.

Aliantha · 03-09-2009, 08:38 PM

I've noticed through the course of this thread, that there's really not much nutritional value to any of these types of foods. lol

But that's the point darlin'!
We're so health conscious on here (ahem) that we eat nasty foods in moderation, not all the time.

DanaC · 03-10-2009, 06:36 AM

I eat nasty foods as standard and healthy food in moderation...
