Saw Judy's post on scrapple, one of the few foods from my youth in Canoe Creek and Blair County that I always hunger for... Very sorry to hear Meadows may no longer produce this product. I graduated from HHS with Joel Meadows in 1966. Fortunately, living out-of-state for more than 40 years I have found an alternative source, Jones Farms from Wisconsin who sell online for anybody who may be interested. Must be a few people from the area in Florida because it is sold there in the Sweet Bay Supermarket frozen food section. Here is the website for Jones Farms http://www.jonesdairyfarm.com/StoreProduct.aspx?p=198 Vaughn Everhart

This is my favorite.

HOLLIDAYSBURG Scrapple has again found its way onto the tables of Hollidaysburg residents. This favorite autumn and winter food makes not only a very appetizing toothsome and wholesome diet, but also serves as a substitute for meat - certainly a very necessary and home-welcoming piece of news when meat is anywhere from 30c to a dollar a pound. Altoona Times, Saturday Morning, October 5, 1918 For those of you who didn't grow up in Blair county, where we occasionally had fried scrapple with pancake syrup on it for breakfast - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrapple Recipe is here - http://lynnescountrykitchen.net/amish/scrapple.html Our family bought Meadows scrapple. From the looks of the website, the company might not make scrapple any more. http://www.meadowscountryproducts.com/aboutus.htm Judy

Hello, I have been looking through the Obit postings for about a year or so, but never see a name I am looking for. I'm not sure how long these have been posted and am wondering - is there an archive of all the past names somewhere? Even though I haven't found anything, yet, I thank you for the hard work involved in making the list!

Here are some early 1940's memories from my husband's sister about about hog butchering at her grandparent's farm at Blue Knob. Everyone got up while it was still dark to do the regular farm chores. She remembered going with her Grandma (Nettie WALTERS) up the hill to Uncle Lloyd and Aunt El WALTERS' place to help with the work. Hog butchering was done in the late fall or early winter. The cold weather prevented the meat from spoiling while it was being prepared. The flies and mosquitoes were gone. All the family gathered together early because it was a day long event. Usually the family butchered at least two hogs. The companionship from morning until night is probably what made hog butchering a fond memory. The actual butchering procedure was not so enjoyable but they hardly ever went to the grocery store for meat. The men would go to the hog pen and shoot the hog. The hog was put in a long deep trough with scalding hot water poured repeatedly poured over it. The older kids kept heating water in a big kettles over an open fire. The hot water would loosen the hair, and the skin was scrapped with a special tool leaving the hog white and clean. It was then hoisted up on a rack and gutted and then carved. Grandpa and his brother (Calvin Walters and Lloyd Walters) would then cut large pieces of meat and give them to the women who would cut those pieces into smaller sections. Some meat was salted and other portions were smoked. Then came the worst part of all, at least for me. The pig head was put into the boiling kettle! The meat from the pigs gave us sausage, liver sausage, ribs, head cheese, bacon, hams and several gallons of lard. The lard was used for cooking and baking. The smallest pieces were used in Grandma's ham pot pie - my favorite. Carol in Baltimore PS -- Annie posted an obituary for J.A.Knipple on the very same day that I posted the message that my husband's great grandfather died because he went out in the cold for hog butchering day. What was that ancestor's name? John A Knipple, he died 19 November 1908. What a coincidence!

When I was growing up, my parents rented a home in Claysburg Area. The people we rented off lived on a farm. We would help them to farm throughout the summer in return they would give us a hog and we would buy one. The day after Thanksgiving was the big day for us. Before daylight the fire would be started and the water would be on and boiling. At daybreak we would get started, the first hog would be shot and brought to the scalding trough and scalded and then scrapped. As soon as one would be done we would get another one, usually we butchered 5 hogs for the day. My dad would always cleaned the heads for the meat and the fat would go in the lard. At this time, I should tell you that a black family would make an appearance that morning for a head and the intestines of one hog. They would also give them a little meat on the side. What they would do is clean the head and eat the brains. For the intestines they would scrap them out and clean them and fried them..They call them chitin. Before anyone grosses out at this point, let me say this, we stuffed the sausage in the intestines after they were cleaned. Most people that are 50+ years have eaten them. Ok, back to the butchering, we made all the regular cuts of a hog, then we make sausage, pudding meat, scrapple, and cooked the Lard, (slowly) when we pressed the Lard out and the cakes that were left we ate some of them.The day was not done yet until we made the sugar cured mix and put it on the hams and bacon that was to be cured. The next day would be cold packing the meat into jars for the winter and spring use. The hams and bacon after a couple of weeks then was hung and smoked two different days. At some time my mother would make pickled pig souse out of the feet, I never liked it. Yes, time has changed a great deal, nobody that I know butchers anymore. Now a day butchers skin the hogs and the cured hams are salt cured. The intestines are not used for stuffing sausage, for they use a synthetic material. For the beef we always butchered a beef on New Years Day. I hope someone can relate to my experience Don Feathers ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com
