Not to worry Dave....You're in good company. My Dad had grown up during the depression in an already poor family and perhaps it was nostalgia, but my childhood was filled with weird meats that he had eaten then because they were virtually free. Some of those I still like myself and one of the things known as "Scrapple" by the Pennsylvania Dutch still tops my list of favorite breakfast meats(?). Basically, it's the all the meat boiled off the head of a hog and ground then mixed with cornmeal and put in a loaf. You then slice it and fry it. Here in east Ohio, we call it "Krepples" but it's also affectionately called "Pig Lips." I was hoping to serve it to Bill, Ian, and Sam, for breakfast when they were here, but I had to in for the dental operation and blew my chance!

And, it's no secret around here that I'm now HOOKED on Vegemite and Marmite! I had never had either as they just aren't known here, but once tasted, I've become a nut on them!!!!
