As it's referred to: Pennsylvania's mystery meat. Or all parts of a pig thats not used for other things.......ground up, mixed with corn meal and spices then shaped in a loaf. A beautiful shade of gray, sliced, fried in bacon grease until golden brown .
The stuff dreams are made of.
If you get to Carlisle, take a short hour drive to Lancaster County, the Amish have the real deal - those folks know how to eat!
They also known know how to work, when is the last time you saw a fat Amish guy?
Some of the older women maybe......
 
Pho with dog meat
Dumplings with horse meat
Water buffalo burgers
Fermented mares milk
Deep fried grubs and grasshoppers
Camel kebaps
Just a few things ive sampled while traveling
Stay away from the mares milk.
 
I like spagetti sauce, ketchup, tomato soup, etc.... can't stand the actual tomato. Gross and slimey. yuk.
 
When we were young my father and uncles would eat sheep heads .. think they're outlawed now .. they smelled great from the seasonings they used, but how in the world they ate them I don't know..I couldn't sit at the same table
 
BLP bacon lettuce and peanut butter....amazing!!! ketchup on scrambled eggs is a must. my kid puts ketchup on fish. my buddy puts grape jelly on his burger....i did eat a pigs eye at a wild game party...it didnt suck.

When I was an apprentice working in a factory, the Pacific Island boys would gather around a complete pig's head at morning tea time. It was a fight to get the eyes and ears. The most gross thing that ever happened in that place was one day my junior apprentice colleague slapped a bag of what looked like raw corned beef on the table in front of us. Turned out it was his wife's placenta from their recently arrived baby. Apparently it was a bet he made with the lads.
Honestly, I don't see the fascination with gizzard and offal cuts, although I have had "brawn" as a youngster - made up of jellied trimmings of cheek and tongue meat.

It's just a sponge cake with raisins, usually served with some custard on top.
