Amen. That's my philosophy.
Thanks for the travelogue!As far as I can tell, "Livermush" is the word for "Scrapple" when south of the Virginia/NC line. Best eaten straight up; I've been eating it all my life, my Mom's ancestors were "Pennsylvania Dutch" Weimers and Klines and that lot invented the stuff.
Scrapple is more in the Headcheese family.. No binder in that stuff, it's set from the callogen that cooks out of all the gristly mystery bits. Livermush is closer to blood sausage, as it uses grain for a binder.. It's ground liver & onion cooked with cornmeal into a 'mush' and once chilled, it sets up in a loaf. It's also called Liver Puddin' in some parts & is sold in sausage casing instead of the more common brick.
Nay, lad, you're thinking of "Souse" in your first example., which IS a headcheese sort of thing.My grandmother taught me how to make scrapple. It's just as you describe Livermush. It starts as a "mush" of equal parts Cornmeal and various parts of the Hog including the Liver (hence the Liver Mush name further south). It's flavored however you like, usually with salt, pepper, sage, and a little thyme. The cornmeal holds it together so it can be sliced and fried when cold ....Lannis
....I was going to cut that strap off until I discovered that it's a decorative detail and not really a strap.
Yes, I got tired of sitting on the "strap", so I got a MG standard height gel saddle, and it is more comfortable, but it gets hot in the sun. I've since learned that the compatible OEM saddle for the V7 Special is similar to the one for the Stone, but doesn't have a "strap". Perhaps that would have been a better choice than the gel saddle.
I am planning my next trip. I will go direct to Natchez Ms, avoiding I20 in North Louisiana at all costs, get on the trace, putt to Nashville and visit my war hero nephew and partake in BBQ, Music, and other pleasant things before returning home, again avoiding North Louisiana. What are attractions to not miss?(especially involving music and bbq)?
