Prompted by a post in a comm about vegetarian haggis.

[conuly]

Maybe I'm the only one to grasp this, but you don't want to eat haggis. Not even the vegetarian kind. Nor do you want to eat sausage, which is made up of all the parts of the animal you can't sell. Or chitlins, or frogs legs, or snails, or kidney anything. These aren't foods you want to eat, they're foods eaten by people who can't afford any good cuts of meat. The only reason other people eat them is because if they didn't, they'd have to admit that their ancestors were too poor to eat any decent food.

Intestines. Ugh.

It all depends on who's making it, doesn't it?

Get ahold of some smoked pork and make your own (http://www.livejournal.com/users/marveen/74890.html) scrapple....or ponice, or cornmeal mush, or whatever your family calls it.

I know that when MY mother made ponice (as we called it in our household), she only diced up decent meat to go into the finished product.
