Haven't thought about that in years. I just might have to whip up a batch for the kids and see if they like as much as I use to.
My mom used to fill those fried baloney cups with scrambled eggs for supper!

And I want to go on record as loving span either fried for breakfast or with the vinegar, sugar and mustard glaze on spam scored and studded with cloves. That is good eating! Goes great with mashed potatoes with lots of peas or peas and carrots or corn. Americana on a plate!

Elston,

Sometimes my dad made breakfast and it could be fried bologna with scrambled eggs or fried spam and eggs.

I liked his version of chip beef on toast...which was chopped up bologna mixed in milk gravy over toast.

Oh My! "Taylor Ham" as I learned to call it when my Dad used to take me to Ocean City NJ when I was a very little kid. My Mom went to her womens' sorority (Alpha Zeta Beta) annual meeting, and me and Dad went to Ocean City (qw is doing a "happy dance" ) On the boardwalk, among the miniature golf, saltwater taffy, and skeeball places, there was a "Taylor's Pork Roll" place where we would get Taylor Ham sandwhiches on a hamburger bun and that reddish "Pennsylvania Dutch" brand birch beer. Oh my, oh my, oh my... We're talkin' the mid 50's here. What an incredible memory. But anyways, the Taylor Ham slices were slit on four sides so they would remain somewhat flat. At the boardwalk place they were deliciously chared around the edges. I think (50+ year old memory is suspect) they might have been cooked over a flame. I just found this website and will explore... Thanks and enjoy

Buy Original Taylor Ham, Taylor and Trenton Pork Roll,* Sabretts, Tastykakes, Salt Water Taffy, Fudge, Habbersett Scrapple, and More!

Welcome to PA Dutch!

I second that - with enthusiasm. Baked Spam scored like a ham with studded cloves, and a brown sugar and mustard glaze. Mmmm... mmm..

In our hot lunch program at school, it was always served with a scoop of mashed potatoes right in the middle. Yes, with the sides all curled up around it and a little crispy too. I tried to make it once for my kids, it just wasn't the same for them. They thought they were being punished for something.

Default Apples...an apple a day keeps the doctor away.

I just baked teacakes...loaded them with apples, cinnamon, walnuts and raisins. The kitchen smells great...yummy.

Next time...dried cranberries from Cape Cod and orange zest.

Hmmm, sounds alot like the mystery meat and starch entrees in the elementary school cafeteria in upstate New York. Gosh, I used to be so frightened of those lunch ladies and their evil stares

How about a nice New England Boiled dinner. That's what we have on St. Patricks Day. It's coming up soon. I get grey corned beef from Bow Street Market in Freeport. In fact I have to order it tomorrow as they corn it right in the store and it takes about a week. Corned beef, cabbage, carrots, Maine potatoes,turnip,parsnips,onions...Yummy
I'd love to tell you what we do with the left overs but there never are any. Some Guinness stout, wine, maybe a nip of the Bailey's, Irish soda bread, Irish cheeses,Irish music and some genuine Irish friends to really round out the day! I'll dig out the guitar and my brother will break into song after the the third glass of stout. We'll drink to those departed and those yet to be born till the wee hours of the mornin'. Or midnight which ever comes first! Can't wait!

That sounds REALLY good! I haven't had one in years.

Especially the part about you breaking out the guitar and everyone drinking the stout and singing! That's fun stuff! I don't know any real Irish people down here but used to know a few "Portland Irish" that were a hoot! Guess I could go searching the Irish pubs down here for a few leprechans. (?spelling)

Sounds like a Ceilidh...

Scottish and Irish traditions come alive with a Ceilidh (pronounced kay-lee) a Gaelic word that means "gathering...synonymous with a good old fashioned kitchen party...food and cheer, music, singing and dancing.
