soccer moms must die!

You sure about that? Something to think about...

Saw the riots a few years ago after the Penn State football game......they must have watched the entire game then also,eh?

What's a midwestern lad like yourself doing talking of scrapple? We keep that as a secret so we don't have to share it and there's always enough for us. :-)

And lets not forget "mountain oysters"...

Or, maybe we should...

Do You really think that's a problem? You're welcome to My share. All of it.

I've had the displeasure of consuming it. Can't say it's the nastiest thing I've ever had, but it sure is up there!

You are more than welcome to my share, my wife's share, and my kids' share. We all think it's disgusting.

My father-in-law (PA native) loves the stuff. Of course, he thinks it's so great he has to consume about a quart of syrup with a single slab of it...

Your father-in-law sounds like a discriminating food critic. He used the PA maple syrup I trust, not the knock off from Vermont. ;-)

I prefer it fried thin and sitting on an egg sandwich made with an Amoroso roll. How can bread just melt in your mouth? Of course if you can't handle scrapple perhaps pork roll might be more your speed. ;-)

Pork roll can do quite well on an english muffin with just cheese. Ask the family food critic, he should be able to hook you up.

However if he says shoo-fly-pie is a delicacy I may have to change my opinion.

Let's leave the Klingons out of this.......

Why, what do they taste like?

Someone snitched you out. It's a favorite here in CO among discerning breakfasters. Even my new family of Midwesterners are believers now.

Thanks for inventing it!

I heard it was a rumor that they were switching from football to soccer that got the crowd going. :-)

This exporting thing is getting out of control.

"You serious Clark?" Penn State soccer is fairly decent, that would have made for a happy riot. :-)

Your list is missing one of the best books I've ever read. The psychology of the mob mentality, how it's borne, what if feeds off and how it becomes a perpetuating entity and narrated from the inside.

"Among the Thugs" Buford.

Strongly recommended. I read it prior to the '94 World Cup which gave me a different outlook of what the World game really entails and what is riding on each team. The research was done from the inside during the '90 World Cup in Italy, and poor, poor Buford, the ending was painful from his perspective.

Blame it on B&Bs in Maine. The in-laws brought the recipe back about six years ago. The greatest thing is how versatile it is. I get to ignore the kids smothering it in maple syrup while I dig into mine with an over-easy egg on top of every slice slathered with habenero sauce, and my lady has hers with butter.

The Southwest's greatest contributions to "gag me" food are menudo or, for the more adventurous, tongue tacos. . .

Give 'em a try, they'll grow on you!

Soccer is like hockey -- if you don't understand the game, it's horrible to watch, as it makes little or no sense.

That said, the hooliganism that takes place at and around soccer matches is just plain disappointing. Hopefully as the sport continues to grow in popularity in the US, that aspect of it will stay overseas.

-Kevin

My Grandmother used to boil up an occasional tongue, Yuck.

Soccer is only like hockey if you remove the goaltenders. No wonder there are riots at soccer games.... I'd riot if there was NO scoring!

But then again, I'm a bit biased since I'm from the 'state of hockey' :)

Hell, the hooliganism ain't no big thang. Get some gullible tough guy to wear a Giants shirt to an Eagles' game.....or Devils' shirt to a Flyers' game.....the results are too predictable. Their shirt will have a different aroma for the ride home. And not a particularly wonderful smell.

I recall a Penguins shirt wearing fool at the old Spectrum.....they were so brutal I sort of felt sorry for the guy for a split second.

Provincialism is the rule.
