@Lustig Andrei,
Should we add poi to the list of American food?

Do you eat much of it?

I loved the way my ex-husband (Hawaiian native) made it. He added coconut milk and honey to the shredded steamed taro root and then mashed it all together.

@Butrflynet,
If you add some lime to poi it makes a great bottom patch for any leaks below the waterline

I tried to find it on my latest trip through the US, but nobody would admit to knowing what it was..

You better not be dispariigin SCRAPPLE. That is the food of the gods (were there any gods), so we gets to eat it all

Crisply its fried, abpout 1/8 " of very crispy crust and within , the moist mix of the pork plotlings and cornmenal mush and the secret spices.

All served up on a plate with two fried eggs, and slavered the scrapple with MOLASSES (not maple syrup)

@farmerman,
mmmmm scrapple

Quote:
Scrapple is arguably the first pork food invented in America. The roots of the culinary traditions that led to the development of scrapple in America have been traced back to pre-Roman Europe.[9] The more immediate culinary ancestor of scrapple was the Low German dish called panhas, which was adapted to make use of locally available ingredients, and it is still called "Pannhaas," "panhoss," or "pannhas" in parts of Pennsylvania.[10] The first recipes were created by Dutch colonists who settled near Philadelphia and Chester County, Pennsylvania in the 17th and 18th centuries.[11] As a result, scrapple is strongly associated with rural areas surrounding Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington D.C. and surrounding eastern Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware and the Delmarva Peninsula. Its popularity on the Delmarva Peninsula is celebrated annually during the "Apple-Scrapple Festival" in Bridgeville, Delaware.

In composition, preparation, and taste, scrapple is similar to the white pudding popular in Ireland, Scotland and parts of England and the spicier Hog's pudding of the West Country of England.

@Joe Nation,
as a pure scientific investigation, the "Mythbusters" poured Mentos candies into freshly opened liter bottles of ginger ale. They measured the heighth of the soda column as almost 30 feet.

@farmerman,
What can be done with ginger ale?

The only kind of soft drink that's impossible to make into a decent cocktail.

Vodka and Ginger Ale?? ppttppooey
Whiskey and Ginger Ale? meh.
Rum and Ginger Ale? pffft.
Scotch and Ginger ale??? If I was religious that would be sacrilegious.
Champagne and Ginger Ale would be Sec-religious.
