Then it’s cooled in the refrigerator or out on the porch in winter and eaten like a meat infused jello. Not bad. Makes a hot dog look like Sunday school
Meat. Did I mention there was a lot of gout in the old Bohemie crowd? And high blood pressue was a way of life. There are recipes for all of this. In rural Iowa there are still some small independent locker plants that custom butcher. They are the source for hogs heads, Rocky Mountain Oysters, Jowl bacon, award winning sausage and delicacies like landjaeger. Sometimes called weasel peter for some strange reason.

People were so poor that they had to extract every bit of nutrition they could from there meager existence or so I have been told. I try to avoid most if not all of what you just said.

Took delivery on our 21' in June; during the orientation, expected Reece or the Carl (new manger) to say "hello" but didn't even see them...Someone at higher management should greet and personally thank customers for their business; Simple business ethics.

When I was growing up I loved eating my Grandmother’s homemade head cheese , blood sausage and pickled pigs feet with saurkraut . The main reason was that my Grandmother made them , nobody told me how they were made , and I was too young to care . Now I find that these delicacies are hard to find and if I do find them they don’t taste the same or as good as what my Grandmother made .
Growing up we had fresh liver sausage and eggs on Sunday mornings . Again hard to find and not as good as the liver sausage from 50 years ago
These things may be depression food but as my Dad said “ If your hungry , you eat it and don’t ask questions”
Some day I hope to try Jim N’s scrapple , it sounds delicious to me !

Coddling is something I never took much stock in. My orientation was handled professionally by an employee and my questions were answered . The manager coming out to greet you at the time of sale ? I could care less unless there was a serious issue with the employee or the product. Reace is the production manager, I assume he is busy building trailers. If there are QC issues fine, but how is not being greeted a business ethics issue? I just don’t get it.

We recently purchased a new truck. It cost considerably more than the TA we are buying. The only person we ever saw was the salesman. We had no expectations otherwise.

It's a courtesy to spell people's names correctly. It's Reace and it's Karl.

What, no Lutefisk? A story my Norwegian mother would tell me is that it was a common practice to keep the Lutefisk in large crocks outside the house (presumably because of the smell) at the front curb to cure and the very best Lutefisk was from the crocks that had been flavored by the local dogs.

Steve,
I plan on bring plenty of scrapple to Mississippi Rally in September, cool nights and hot scrapple in mornings with coffee, means you have arrived...and bacon, the scrapple needs bacon grease for cooking.

I agree. The expectations some folks have continues to surprise me.

In my experience, the thread will pop up again under a new title within a few days.

My father use to tell the story about during the depression kids would eat bread fried in bacon fat for breakfast so that when they got to school they smelled like bacon and the other kids would think they were not poor and their family could afford bacon
We used to eat bologna sandwiches and potatoes fried in bacon fat .
My Grandmother use to render lard every Fall , makes the best pie crust .
I am amazed to this day how women during the depression and WW2 could make good tasty unhealthy meals for the whole family out of practically nothing and still live to be in their 90’s .

Ah, where did the bacon fat come from? I used to do that well into my 20's until I started to eat a little healthier. Well, maybe not entirely, gotta go upstairs and fry up some hash browns for lunch.
