3Scrapple is a "meat pudding" its made of ground pork or beef or turkey parts. The pork and beef scrapple are mixed with some of the rendered fat and the whole thing is beat with copious amounts of cornmeal and spices unique to scrapple. The stuff is fried until crispy on the outside and hot in the middele . It is eaten many ways, the best being coated with molasses or maple syrup.

4Back to bed, I think Ill be sleeping most of the day, I shouldnt have done any barn work this weekend, I shoulda just stayed put and tried to work this thing outta me.

Happy birthday farmer, dear farmer!

Have a wonderful birthday celebration & may this coming year bring multiple good things your way!

For your birthday gift, I've arranged a little visit for you to this special place (see video ) which I think you might really enjoy (though perhaps not the cosmic music! But you can sing sea shanties instead). Enjoy!

I particularly enjoy getting a greeting from the upside down part of the planet.

I loved the whales, loved em. MAkes me wanna be out at sea again, even as cold as it is.
I especially loved the sounds of their breaths as they strain to pass your boat. Its just the sounds I remember, like a really heavy person attempting to run laps and you can hear their strained puffing.
Very neat.

Lets keep getting in the way of whaleboats.

Really glad you enjoyed that, farmer. Me too. Acrobatic frolicking little devils they are!

Just read (above) that you've got a cold! Bummer. Does that mean a birthday tucked up in bed, recuperating?

yeh Im really sick and Ive got my laptop and one of the damn dogs who wont get the hell off the bed., but Im getting some xercise reading Bill RMs thread about scientists who are religious. Hes in way over his head and weve got several new posters who have called Set names. Sorry but I gotta go back and pick up rocks so we dont have a donneybrook.

First of all, Happy Birthday.

Do you eat that scrapple sh@#? I know it's part of the Pennsylvania, Maryland diet staple, but that is just plain gross.

A few years a go I asked some guy what scrapple was and he could not explain it. You did a much better job, although you've exposed its super-grossness.

Happy Birthday farmerman. One year closer to death.

WHICH "parts"?


(Shudders)

Crikey, alex! You feeling a bit gloomy today?

Ill attempt at humor.

Oh, that's OK then!

It happens to me, too. Not to worry.

Isn't it vile? But, for the locals, it's nirvana. There's even an editorial reporter in the area who uses the title Scrapple Face for his column. I hate practically all local things, no matter where I move to. Scrapple goes above and beyond.

I always think that it's what pate would be like if you fried it. Totally delish.

You're so optimistic, to me it seems like glorified Spam.

Have you tried it?
