Jeez, Alabama Bill, is my face red! See I just thought that "hog" was slang for groundhog. Of course now that I think about it, what would you then call real hogs? So now a couple of questions from an agrarianally challenged Canadian: Is there a difference between pigs and hogs? And might anyone know where I could sample ground hog north of the American border. I've decided that if I'm going to sing the damn song, I'd better eat (selected bits of) the damned hog.

As to scrapple, it's such a happy little word (like apple) it doesn't SEEM dangerous at all, especially the way Alice describes it! Same with "Kishka!"...or even "pemican". See, if someone cooked up a mess of "cow's eyeball puddin'", but called it something like "Twinkle", I'd probably dig in.
