The best description of scrapple can be found in letters 2-5 of the word itself. :lol:

Totally kidding, it's delicious, I'm just afraid of meat composites.

Liver with onions and apples, :drool

Potatoes are totally ok on my diet, since I just cannot have processed carbs. Remember the ancient Peruvians ate them. Although I guess you could say that western Europeans did not eat them until after the Americas were invaded by the Spanish.
But lets see, if we go back 200 years, that would be the 1800, I think Europeans were eating potatoes then.
Yup, I think I am allowed potatoes ;) :lol: Especially after I dig them out of my own garden :lol:

There are two things besides the real foods for bothe Types, that I try to really stress.

Kombucha and fermented cod liver oil.
Even though DH eats super well for his type 1, if he misses these components of his diet, he slips health wise.
WAPF really stresses the fclo for good reason.
Both of these things promote good liver health which diabetics tend to really struggle with.

I will poke in with more info later on.
Going for a snow machine ride with DH :)

I think scrapple is traditional!!! (What is scrapple? :hide )
I was born and raised in California; for a long time scrapple was just a word for something weird that was eaten in the East. Then I married a German from a part of Germany not far removed from where the ancestors of present day Amish came from. In local (for him) cookbooks I found Panhas, whichI found later was very like scrapple - just that scrapple is often, if not usually, made with corn meal, and Panhas with buckwheat flour. And then I found Goetta, which is, apparently, common in Ohio, and goes back to northern German immigrants. It appears to be the same as Panhas/scrapple, but made with oats. Of the many recipes I have read, for all three of these, organ meats are only sometimes called for. Yes, these are all ways to use up scraps, but scraps can be defined in many ways. As DH isn't particularly fond of such things, I have only actually made the Goetta - with pork sausage meat, no offal - and quite liked it. I will try scrapple next, just because I prefer corn meal to buckwheat flour.

I MUST agree! (Because I can! - and potatoes were introduced to Europe in the 16th century) I NEED my potatoes!! I have a blend of Celtic and Scandinavian blood (Welsh, Irish, Scottish, Finnish, Swedish, Norwegian etc. etc.) and years back, especially in the Celtic areas, potatoes were a food staple.

A traditional meals that come to mind is colcannon. Think potatoes, meat, and cabbage casserole - very popular at Samhain. I'm sure a person could replace some of the potatoes with cauliflower, add some broccoli and chard, carrots, and maybe sunchokes and burdock root :drool

I'd be celtic too... I'm a first generation Canadian since my parents moved here from Wales, and we lived in potato country growing up so potatoes were always a staple in my diet... and still are :)
