I wondered if they were up yet...its getting harder and harder to find places that aren't overrun with other mushroom-pickers. I LOVE morels sautee'd in butter. Hate cleaning out the sand, though. I cut into a slug once that was hiding up inside....EWWW! |

I am NOT a fan of scrapple, at least not the way my folks made it. They shared a hog with a friend and did the butchering themselves. Then they made a big fire, hung a huge caldron over it and added lard, leftover meat and cornmeal I think, as well as seasonings and cooked it down. When the meat cooled they packed and froze it. Mom would cook it patty-sausage style and serve it with maple syrup. I don't know if it was the cornmeal texture, the seasoning mix, the grease or the syrup, but I just couldn't eat it.
I would like to try head cheese, just never had the opportunity. |

Never tried it with maple syrup but the rest of it is right on the nose. Fond memories, makes me want to run out and buy my own cauldron. |

How do Missouri folks feel about saltwater clams ?
My Dad just loaded up a carload of
Jersey saltwater clams for an emergency mission to Missouri .
My friends say that all they can find out there are yucky freshwater clams - LOL
