Mmmmm, breakfast

This is for heronirene who misses Scrapple

Boil 5 lbs pork neckbones in enough salted water to cover. Carrot and onion optional. Cook until meat shreds easily. Remove bones from broth, shred meat back into pot. Stir in white cornmeal VERY SLOWLY! If you add it too fast, it will get lumpy. Keep adding and stirring until the mush is very thick. Pour into lightly greased loaf pans. Chill over night.

The next morning, heat a non-stick skillet with 1/2 tsp bacon grease over a medium-high heat. Slice scrapple very thin, fry on both sides until golden brown. Serve with salt and pepper.

Reading the recipe for scrapple makes it sound gag-making -- but taste tests don't lie! Scrapple is thrifty country cooking at its best. I have such fond memories of huge family breakfasts on wintry mornings - pancakes and eggs and scrapple. My dad was the real cook in our family, and he'd fix these incredible feasts and then come upstairs and tickle me awake and carry me downstairs on his back. Everybody else would sleep late on weekends, so this was dad's and my special time.

Thanks for the recipe, Angel! Hope your family enjoyed the breakfast, and may it make many wonderful memories for your children as well.
