I like the stuff. Makes a great sammich! Good on crackers too, especially with a shot of hot sauce.
Souse Meat, any one like it?

This is a true story. I was in a country town market one day buying some of their famous sausage. The store catered to ethnic groups who consume such delicacies as chitterlings, hog brains, collard greens, pure hog lard, mullet fish, souse meat, etc. In my part of the South, these can be white people or black people. I regularly bought sausage and country cured ham there. I noticed that there was a display in one of the frozen food bins of what looked like one gallon containers marked "Pork Kidneys." I asked the manager if folks really ate those. "Yep" How to cook them I wanted to know. "Boil the piss out of them."

Neither of the pictures looks anything like the souse we make down here in the South. Having said that, my wife loves it, but I can't stand it.
BOY-oh boy this younger generation will never survive if hard times come like some are predicting Souse ,head cheese ,pickled pork hocks .ox tales

That first pic gives me a whole new appreciation for potted meat...
(I was going to quote the post but thought we could all do without seeing that again)
I've had it down home but it never looked anything like that

When ask what I would like to eat, I always have and always will reply, anything but souse.

Souse?
First time I've heard that name. I've always heard it called "headcheese" or "head sausage"
My mom said something about "Scrapple", whatever the heck that is (no, I ain't looking it up...too scared)

I know one restaurantuer (sic)...he prides himself on an ABSOLUTELY spotless establishment. I've heard him over fifty yards away behind two closed doors if he finds it otherwise.

This thread...
...has officially murdered my appetite. As I am trying to lose weight, I will refer back to it from time to time.
I have sworn off food for the rest of the evening and will meditate to try to get the pictures out of my head.

I learned the joys of scrapple when I was stationed in Warminster PA for a while. Scrapple is the thing that makes your breakfast complete.... yum...yum.

Scrapple is a delight compared to souse/head cheese. I wouldn't put them in the same category. Scrapple is more like bologna or hot dogs...I don't want to see it made, but it's good eatin! Especially fried. 
P.S. Bob, you must be punished for re-posting that pic...go eat some!

"Kinda looks like frozen and sliced barf" ---Iggy
The photo image bears an uncanny resemblance to a rubbery plastic specimen of fake vomit a classmate ordered from a catalog available from the ads in the back of Sixties comic books ( the same ones that advertised X-Ray vision glasses, Charles Atlas body-building courses --- "the bully kicked sand in my face...", "instant" sea-horses, and the like...) He placed it on the hood of a teacher's prized Corvair, provoking an incident/confrontation that ultimately cost the teacher his job... This, in the day when boys routinely carried a pocketknife to school and everywhere else, and sometimes a gun for the rod & gun club session after hours.
