Teach - YES !!! Thanks, now I can read it again. How did you find it by description ? Is there a site or way to do it ( I remember so many books, but not the titles or authors ). Your mother was a visionary ! Thank's again, Teach

Dare I ask what 'scrapple' is? I'm almost afraid to ask...

This is from Wikipedia. "Scrapple is a savory mush in which cornmeal and flour, often buckwheat flour, are simmered with pork scraps and trimmings, then formed into a loaf. Small scraps of meat left over from butchering, too small to be used or sold elsewhere, were made into scrapple to avoid waste. Scrapple is best known as a regional food of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, and Maryland."

Looks Spam-a-licious! Actually it sounds similiar to hash and is probably pretty good.

Oh my goodness -- bread (or even better TOAST) with butter and sugar (brown or white) was a huge TREAT in our house, too! Must be because Ohio is PA's neighbor. Sloth - I just googled key words like in google. My search string looked like this: Vacuum +girl +story +fly Plus, I have links to a few library listserves where books are the main topic all the time. Once I had a couple of possibilities, I went to Amazon and just started looking them up and reading the synopsis for each book. (Can you tell I teach English and research techniques using the Internet? LOL)

Hey, GaL, I LOVE potato chips with lowfat small curd Broughton cottage cheese. Doesn't make me feel as guilty as if I were to eat french onion dip or ranch dip with chips. Doesn't everyone eat this? I also love cottage cheese on a baked potato in place of sour cream. Now here's the kicker, contributed by my DH: slice a banana lengthwise, spread both halves with peanut butter and sprinkle the whole mess heavily with granulated sugar. I can't even bring myself to TRY this horror!

Sia, you don't like peanut butter and banana? I've been known to do the same as your DH, but I'll sprinkle it with sugar and cinnamon, not just sugar. Peanut butter and cream cheese is a wonderful combination, too.

I'm from Delaware and I LOVE scrapple. Not at all an oddity here, and I wouldn't have thought to name it. Should be pan-fried til a dark brown on both sides. You aren't living til you've had scrapple! Ny, in fact, I don't care for hash at all. Scrapple has a completely different taste. The rest of you are coo-coo with your peanut butter sandwich oddities! Sloth and Teach, I read that book as a kid, too! Don't remember as many details as you do, but I do remember the flying vaccuum and the fact that she took rides on it. Very cool being reminded of it!

Yet another peanut butter sandwich. I've never cared for peanut butter in any form. This made eating lunch as a kid at other people's houses difficult given that peanut butter and jelly seemed to be everywhere. But, I have discovered that peanut butter and pepperoncini on toast is something I actually like a lot.

anything pickled. bread & butter pickles, olives, okra, corn relish, dills, baby sweet pickles, beets, you name it - if it's pickled I'm eating it. My older cousins even nick named me Pickle when I was a child because I could wipe out the relish tray at family dinners.

Texasdeb, what about pickled eggs? Yum, I love pickled eggs but I must admit I buy them instead of make them, which would probably be much cheaper.

We have pickled asparagus here in the "Asparagus Capital of the World." It was the first type of asparagus I ever ate, and since it was so good, I wasn't afraid to try it other ways. Now, we LIVE for those 6 weeks in May and June when the asparagus is fresh! We eat it literally every day (usually grilled or sauteed) -- about a pound each day split three ways.

Yum, I love asparagus! I didn't know I had a love for it until, maybe 10 years ago or so. Never had them pickled.

Did you ever see those tiny jars of red lumpfish caviar at the grocery store? I get that on the weeks the grocery list is a little sparse and needs some spicing up. I could live on caviar if I was wealthy and if salt in large doses wasn't such a health hazard.
