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.freemotion said:I think scrapple is traditional!!! (What is scrapple? )
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.FarmerDenise said:Liver with onions and apples,
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 Especially after I dig them out of my own garden
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 areBlackbird said:I MUST agree!
