Blech bump! We made scrapple in Home Ec - it was disgusting. We had to slice it, fry it, and put maple syrup on it. That was more than 40 years ago, and I still remember how horrible it was.
Then there was the time I went to Aunt Mary's with my new husband and in-laws. We had a meal that included homemade bread and some sort of meat topping. Everyone was raving about how good the meal was, so I innocently asked what the meat was.
Everyone sort of stopped talking, and finally someone said, "It's pork." On the way home, my husband informed me that it was HEAD cheese - made from a REAL pig's head. They butchered their own animals, and used EVERY part.
Did I mention that was my FIRST husband? Not he of champagne and cashews fame.
