Things we eat: August 2008 Archives

A long time ago, commenter Bonnie told me:

In these parts we eat "pon haus" aka scrapple. Where's the hog maw? Where's the souse...it's food and should not be confused with getting "soused." That's all together different, though both are pickled.

Well, Bonnie hit on the one traditional food that I will not eat. (Yes, there are things I don't eat, believe it or not.)

It's like "Green Eggs and Ham." I could not, would not in a box... with a fox... in a house... with a mouse. Nowhere. Nohow.

Hubby, for his part, loves it and likes to tease me about it. But, sorry, even for someone who's as big of a hot dog fan as I am doesn't like meat-scrap-leftover-food.

Deena shared with me a local blog of interest called The Weekly Share.

It's a blog that relates one family's experiences with a CSA - a community-supported agriculture program - in particular, Goldfinch Farm near Wrightsville.

I had heard of CSAs before - in fact, a good friend of mine belongs to one outside Spring Grove - but I didn't know a whole lot about them.

So it was really interesting to read The Weekly Share and see how it works. (Oh, and check out the zucchini recipes - you'll remember I bought some zucchini the other day at Brown's!)
