PENNSYLVANIA Scrapple

A.reader who slaughters his own
hogs wants to know how the real
honest to goodness Pennsylvania
Dutch scrapple is made. Last winter
he paid a visit to Philadelphia and
was regaled with the "genuwine" ar
ticle. He had ATTEMPTED to make
scrapple in other hog-killing times
but says his was never like this.
So here is the real Philadelphia
scrapple recipe, which may be OF
interest to others of you who live on
farms or who have friends from
whom you can beg the necessary
meat at butchering season.
Scrapple, properly known as "Pon-
haws" or "Pannhas," should be
made the same day the hogs are
killed. A hogs head Is separated
into halves and the eyes and brains
are removed. Then the head must
be scraped and cleaned thoroughly
Of you are the squeamish type, this
is not for you0 Put the head in
big kettle and cover with four or five
quarters of cold water, depending on
kettles size. Simmer the head gent
ly for about three hours, until the
meat starts to fall from the bones
Skim off all grease. Remove the
head, pick off the meat and chop II
fine. Return 1t to the liquor ano
add 4 teaspoons salt, 8 teaspoons
pepper and a teaspoon OF sage. Heal

The Chef Says

Last week we discussed some Of
the secrets Of mems success in the
making of salads, one point being
the proper care taken in preparing
the various ingredients. We COW
cred the lettuce and other greens,
tomatoe (Which have no place in a
self respecting tossed salad, Gu
cumbers and onions and /or chives.
Continuing with the matter of the
green salad, let's look at how the
accomplished salad-maker will han
die other items that may 60 into the
bowl. Radishes, for instance. These
should be washed well in cold water,
rootlets and tops cut off cleanly and
the radishes themselves sliced paper
thin. The slices should be crisped
in iced salted water for a while be-
fore use and drained thoroughly be-
fore being added to the salad.
I don't particularly like celery IN
this type of salad, but if you feel you
must include it, be sure to scrape 1t
with a knife to remove all strings.
And use the tender inner stalks
don't "use up" the outside by adding
them to the salad bowl. Keep these

almost to boiling and then add slow
ly 3 cups of yellow corn meal, STIR
ring as you cook, until the mixture
becomes a soft mush. Then simmer
over low heat for one hour.
Now. pour the scrapple into ohlong
pans, which have been creased well
and store them in a cold place until
you are ready to use the scrapple
Cut it in thin slices, three inches
long and two inches wide, and fry In
drippings until brown on both sides
Use just bit of fat or drippings, as
the scrapple is pretty greasy itself
It's good for breakfast with scram-
bled eggs and friend apple rings.
To make buckwheat scrapple, which
some of the old-timers claim is the
one and only scrapple, the procedure
Is somewhat varied. You'll use the
head meat as before, but you'll ado
to 1t the tongue and the liver, the
heart and sweetbreads. Then you
skim, take out bones, return the
cooked meats-after you've ground
them--to the strained liquor. Bring
to boiling, season as before and stil
in slowly enough buckwheat flour te
make the mixture so thick that you
can make a cross on the surface with
the handle of your spoon. Don't
work too fast-wait and see how
thick the mixture gets after eacf
addition Of buckwheat -four.

Does the mere mention of
Thanksgiving remind you that you
haven't done a thing about order
ing your turkey? Maybe your
kitchen Is. so small you've been
dreading the idea of tackling a big
family dinner, or maybe 1t has
been a question Of time-you've
been 50 tied up at the Office there
hasn't been time to think about 1t.
Whatever the case may be, don't
worry you can still have that tradi-
tional turkey holding the spotlight.
The only work on your part Is
picking up the telephone and call
ing one of the several places I know
that will roast the turkey for you
complete with stuffing and gravy.
However, I'd suggest you get busy
on it right away before their kitch-
ems are so swamped they can't take
care of you. Some of the places will
even supply the turkey for you
while others will cook your own
bird, You can also order your des-
sert and cocktail snacks, leaving
you with only the vegetables and
salad to prepare. If you are inter-
ested I'll be glad to supply the
names of these places offering this
service. Call National 5000, extern
sion 495.
While we're still on the subject
of turkeys you are going to find the
birds running heavy this year. The
toms average between % and 80
pounds, the hens between u and 16
pounds; you'll find very few CT the
small turkeys that used to weigh
around to 10 pounds. At present
the prices are under what they
were a year ago. There are some
very fine looking Long Island ducks
on the market now, selling at rea-
sonable prices.
Rabbits are making their first ap-
pearance of the season; they, too,
are selling at prices that make them
a good meat buy. Another FIRST"

Street Market while he was grind
ing 1t this morning and we were
both weeping" before we finished
our chat. It is really strong and
potent; the freshly ground horse
radish is bottled in distilled white
vinegar that has been aged in wood.
There seemed to be wide selec-
tion of fish for the meatless days
with rock and mackerel being the
most plentiful and the featured buys.
However, founder, red snapper, cat
fish, croakers, butterfsh, pan trout,
white perch, porgies, black bass and
fresh f1llets of haddock and hall

All greens are unusually good
right now; that includes cooking
greens as we'll as salad greens. The
best vegetables are caulifower. broc-
coli and Brussel sprouts. The heads

been washed well, into small pieces
and chill them before using.
Both red and green peppers are
good in salads, but many people use
too much of them. Remove the
seeds from the core, wash peppers
we'll, chop in small pieces or shoe
string strips and chill.
There is tendency these days to
add raw carrot strips to any kind
of a salad. These definitely belong
in a so-called health" salad OF raw
cabbage, caulifower, etc. but they
do not belong in a tossed lettuce
affair.
After all the ingredients have
been prepared carefully, the chef
puts them together with the best
French dressing his cookbook and
his own talents can devise. If he is
really a gourmet, he will toss
chapon Ca small nubbin Of bread
thoroughly rubbed with garlic) into
the bowl to be mixed with the salad
during the tossing" session and
then removed just before the salad
is to be served.
For other salads, the ingredients
also must be prepared we'll in ad-
vance. For salad of cooked vege-
tables, for example, be sure that any
ileftovers you use up in this way
have not been dressed with butter
when they made their original ap-
pearance. This is one argument IN
favor of buttering ones own
vegetables, rather than doing the
whole works in the kitchen. Some
prefer a thin mayonnaise with a
vegetable salad, but still think a
French dressing made with plenty
of lemon juice can't be beat for
putting new life into the vegetables.
Avocados, grapefruit, seedless
grapes, tangerines and apples are
probably the best fruits for salad.
A grapefruit salad with French
dressing Is particularly refreshing
after a rather heavy, rich meal. 1t
is q nuisance to get the segments
out neatly, but it Is we'll worth the
trouble. A little chopped mint on
each portion is a nice touch, too.

There are few substitutions that
can be made The regular raisins

grated orange rind can be added
which adds to the flavor.
1t is a good plan to bake this

SILHOUETTE PROFILES.

(From Mrs. w. T. S., Nokesvlle. Va.)
For Mrs. J. A. L., Washington
In regard to silhouettes. Some
years ago had two very attractive
silhouettes made Of my children,
by having it done by photographer.
He took charming profile views,
printed them very dark, cut out,
and used as pattern for the black
paper cutouts. Needless to say, they
were real likenesses and when
framed in round black frames made
nice gifts for grandparents.
This method was my own idea,
and I had to argue with the photo
grapher to try it, but it proved quite
successful. AS many copies as you
wish can be made from the patterns.

TURKEY TIP.
(From Mrs. B. II. S., Washington J
Now that most of us are begin
ming to think of turkeys, or other
large fowls to roast, I would like to
share a tip which came from a
French chef via a friend when ]
lived in another city.
When the bird is drawn, washed
stuffed, sewed and ready for the
roaster. place 1t in the pan in the
position for roasting. Have 5 to Z
strips of salt pork (fat back about
twice or three times as thick as
bacon is sliced and lay them along
the ridge of the biFd so that the
ends hang down on either side as
far as possible and close enough
together that the bird Is well COW
cred. Secure these strips with
toothpicks so that when they begin
Evening star., 1947-11-20

to cook and curl up they won't fall
into the pan. Place one strip on
the top side of each leg and secure
it by winding heavy thread around
the leg, tying the pork in place
Put no water in the pan.
This eliminates all basting, wheth-
er using the open roaster method or
covered. About 20 minutes before
the bird is ready to remove from the
oven, take the lid from the roaster
and remove the pork and return the
bird to the oven uncovered 50 that
it will brown evenly.
When the bird is Drowned remove
to hot platter and to the drippings
in the pan stir in as much flour as 1t
requires to make a soft paste. Add
warm water while stirring over
medium fame and continue to stir
until the gravy begins to bubble.
Make as thick or thin as desired by
adding more or less water. Add
diced giblets.
This makes a delicious gravy and
