PA DUTCH PONHAUS



Pa Dutch Ponhaus image

Ok this isn't traditional. It should be made with scraps of meat because you don't waste a thing when butchering. That scrap may mean the difference between making it thru the winter or not. And why waste your work? This one is a "cleaned up" version from PBS. That or Scrapple is part of your farm breakfast. NO they are NOT the same thing. At least here. I know I grew up eating both.

ORIGINAL PONHAWS - PANNHAS - PONHAUS - SCRAPPLE



Original Ponhaws - Pannhas - Ponhaus - Scrapple image

An heirloom, butchering-time recipe impractical for most modern cooks. Thrifty farmers of the time used everything but the squeal. This is very similar to the more familiar scrapple. Oatmeal scrapple may be made using this recipe subbing that grain for the cornmeal. From the Pennsylvania Dutch chapter of the United States Regional Cookbook, Culinary Arts Institute of Chicago, 1947. Posting it as a historical novelty.
