thanks, though- I am actually gonna be scarce around here for the next few days, and then away sailing and doing whatever my little heart desires (and newly-named MrsPAmedic tells me to do) in the South Carribean.

you will all miss me terribly.

[LUconn]

I'm gonna catch your post count while you're gone!

Medic, you better make sure GMTM doesn't crash the festivities! He will be dangerously close to the action this weekend

[PAmedic]

he'd need one heck of a roadmap to find his way outta S. Philly to my place.

So what gets served up at the reception for a Philly wedding? Is it all cheesesteaks & Tastykakes (not that it doesn't sound great)?

Have a great weekend.

[PAmedic]

Yuengling, Roast Beef, Baked ziti, some other choice of entree' which I forget, salad(s), ice cream sundae bar, and Yuengling.

(high-class affair)

[givemethemic]

Not bad Medic... I will be making my presence known begining on Friday and will grace the town untill Monday!!! Red Sox game on Sunday (Flava Flavs son will also be with me)

[Sly Fox]

OK, I'm about to expose my ignorance once again.

Yuengling?

[PAmedic]

definitely a regional thing- though you CAN get the lager down in the 'burg now. (IF you're so inclined, that is )

Any Scrapple!!!!

[LUconn]

That's scrapple. and I just learned what that is last week. And it's disgusting. I think it's more of a Maryland/Deloware thing.

[givemethemic]

your right my fault!!!! it's really sick, I had it at a local dinner and it was just horrible!!!!!!

[PAmedic]

my dad, the old farm boy that he is, loves the stuff. You don't even want to know what is in it.

I'm NOT kidding.

Ditto on all counts.

[givemethemic]

Well I was told what was in it right after I ate it and I sworn that I would never touch that crap again!!!!!

[LUconn]

Scrapple is typically made of hog offal, such as the head, eyes, heart, liver, bladder, and other scraps, which are boiled with any bones attached (often the entire head), to make a broth. Once cooked, bones and fat are discarded, the meat is reserved, and (dry) cornmeal is boiled in the broth to make a mush. The meat, finely minced, is returned, and seasonings, typically sage, thyme, savory, and others, are added. The mush is cast into loaves, and allowed to cool thoroughly until gelled. The proportions and seasoning are very much a matter of the region and the cook's taste.

Commercial scrapple often contains these traditional ingredients, with a distinctive flavor to each brand, though homemade recipes often specify more genteel cuts of pork, with a consequently blander taste. A few manufacturers have introduced beef and turkey varieties.
