ok, that was pretty funny.

Epic.

People are people, whatever the era! I love finding things like that.

Damn, now I want some Scrapple. Cooked crispy and slathered with Tabasco sauce.

That's awesome. People never change.

God damn I love [to poke fun at] steampunk.

EEERRGHHHH...

You forgot about the penis.
Can't make scrapple without a big honkin' pig dick.

Ah, but did they live in their basements with their moms?

Scrapple and the oink is what you have left over after butchering a pig.

GreenAdder: What an amazing misuse of the word "Steampunk."

Yeah, I pictured punters riding around on mechanical spiders and arguing about 19th century Spam.

great article. NYT does it again.

buckler: So what's the difference between scrapple and head cheese, anyway? And no, by "head cheese", I don't mean smegma very much.

Basically you add some type of meal (corn or oat) to the boiled scraps to make scrapple.

Head cheese congeals on its own with the assorted brain juices and whatnot.

Scrapple is grittier. Head cheese is more like a meat jello.

Thanks for the Meme-ries.

+1 would laugh again.
\Where did you find the pic?

Good God -- is that real?

FTA: One reader declared that he'd just as soon fry bread in lard and eat it than partake in what others called an "abominable mess," a "culinary fraud upon the stomach" and a great way to contract trichinosis.

So Farkers predate themselves by 139 years? Awesome.

Probably something about working at the mill for 34 hours a day with only dust to eat, or something.

doubt it, and there are 28 hours/day, doofus

H.G. punned on A GOOD LIVER's pen-name, suggesting that he be "boiled and chopped up" for his ignorance

I would totally sponser H.G.

buckler: *vomits*

Like most food, if you don't ask what it is before you start eating, it's rather tasty.

We had a thread on Fark about this some time back. I only remember it vaguely, but apparently LOLcats were quite popular in the form of 19th century postcards.

How to make scrapple (new window) (for the PDF phobic)(

"Get a young pig's head (fresh) weighting five or six pounds, which can be bought for twenty-five or thirty cents--" one from the country preferred." Clean it well, cutting of the ears to enable you to clean them well inside. (Get the butcher to take out the eyes an teeth when you buy it.) Put the head in two gallons and a half of cold water. Let it boil until the bones can be easily separated from the meat. Chop the meat very fine, put it back into the liquor it has been boiled in, and season with pepper, salt, thyme, sage and sweet marjoram. (Don't put too much of the herbs.) Then take equal parts of buck-wheat and corn-meal and stir in until the compound is about the consistency of mush; lifting it off the fire while thickening, to prevent it getting lumpy. Then let it boil for about fifteen or twenty minutes, stirring it to prevent burning. Turn it into pans to cool. Cut into think slices, and fry brown as you want to use it."

Actually doesn't sound that nasty. Thought it was the stuff you scrapped off the skin before giving it to the tanners.

EEERRGHHHH...

Sounds Good... Had scrapple a couple times, not that bad. It tastes better then grits, mushy crap.

But then again I like blood sausage, haggis, and marmite...

Tachikoma: /wonder what the gorgor of that era did for fun

Great-grandad Gorgor had an extensive collection of the smuttiest, shocking and most obscene lithographs and daguerrotypes and would travel around with the carnies charging a penny for each onlooker.

Basically Gorgor's family line can be traced directly back to the dude who invented Tijuana Bibles.

It's real. I think it was the subject of a Caturday thread at one point, but it was quite a while ago, and I don't remember the headline now.

Gulper Eel: Now if only we could get a Times piece on goetta.

I'm not surprised that no one responded to this. Goetta is a luxury that in the United States only the Cincinnati-ans have.

/poor bastards

It's obviously the LHC sending us Fark threads from the past, from another dimension.
