OT - what's your favorite breakfast meat

[rudedude]

Upstream Eggs Benedict. Substitute smoked salmon (preferably Sockeye) for the meat. Can’t be beat washed down with a nice Bloody Mary!

 

[LafayetteBear]

You should try opossum innards - an old south favorite, with a side of groundhog quarters.

You've obviously dined with Dem.

 

[LafayetteBear]

What's a "meatprobably?"

 

[LafayetteBear]

Spam, eggs, sausage and Spam.

 

[Woodpecker]

Spam, eggs, sausage and Spam.

 

[kijanacat]

A typo I couldn’t figure out how to correct. I was suffering from Scrapple brain when I typed it.

I fixed it for you.

You had also misspelled scrapple in the poll, as well as corned beef hash, and I corrected those as well.

Thank you Tom. I cringed when I saw that, but turned away. Misspelling the name of such a culinary jewel, a precious food item like scrapple, is almost sacrilege.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Kind of reminds me of this one:

 

[PSU87]

Fish. Yes, fish. And eggs and grits.

 

[manatree]

Forced to choose just one, I'd go scrapple. Preferably from Wehry's in Klingerstown as they are one of the few that still use buckwheat flour.

Second would be a good corned beef hash, extra crispy with a couple of poached eggs on top as gravy.

 

[meanmiJ01]

And go to heaven with flavors of goodness??

I pride myself on being willing to try anything once and very rarely do I encounter a food I won't try again. That said, I tried scrapple and thought I was gonna die.

Well fish isn't technically a meat, but there's always room for lox, whitefish, sable, kippers, and even herring. A nice chopped pickled herring on a bagel with a slice of onion and a Jersey tomato is a good Sunday brunch.

 

[Frabjous]

SCRAPPLE-everything but the Oink !

Everything from the rooter to the tooter.

Anyone who says other than bacon is lying or has never had bacon. A more interesting question might be least favorite

Not really - don't know him!! Some people can't take a joke - not saying you necessarily,
I like English muffin topped with a poached egg and sausage gravy over all of it - like to hear my arteries slam shut.

To me, bacon ( and sausage & ham) is not just a breakfast meat, thus i focused on the others. I also subscribe to the belief of the folks at Herwig's. Bacon is an herb.

People often say that bacon makes everything better.... my retort is why ruin perfectly good bacon by combining it with something crappy!

 

[nittanyfan333]

Scrapple with king syrup. Closely followed by chorizo

Our daughter works for a chain of organic grocery stores, "Mom's", that carries the best bacon I've had..think it's Ayrshire Farms brought to you by the Lerner woman who founded Cisco Systems.

Don't forget the veggie omelet and whole wheat blueberry pancakes

1. Bacon
1a. Pork Roll

Done.

Oh Grasshopper,

You should have purposely missspellled the word “misspell” just to see if anyone would catch it.

 

[kgilbert78]

I have to go with goetta

Cincy's version of scrapple. It's not too bad, actually.

Scrapple or corned beef for me--but it's really hard to find any place that serves scrapple in Central Ohio (tho you can buy it at Giant Eagle and other places). And you forgot Taylor pork roll.... I like to go to Bob's in Manayunk for scrapple when I'm "home".

 

[kgilbert78]

Toss up for me between bacon and scrapple... love spam too. Love sausage, especially in various diners in NJ. Have trouble finding good sausage here in central Pa, oddly enough. Also loved the sausage I had in England years ago- uniquely different than ours and really good.

Never enough bacon!

I loved the "frikadellen" they have in Germany. The place we had our conference in Heidelberg last year served small ones for breakfast--the Rathskeller in Indy serves it as a lunch sandwich (larger, of course).

 

[kgilbert78]

There's a diner near the antique places in Adamstown that has a t-shirt that says "Scrapple--all but the squeal!"

PORK ROLL

Of all things I miss from Jersey, pork roll is the top of the list. A Pat’s Diner pork roll, egg, and cheese sandwich around 2:30 AM after a night in the bars was always a perfect cap on the evening.

 

[anon_1eeb2b426hv3y]

Sausage - links preferably.

Sausage—fresh loose German butcher meat in a pattie.

 

[PeetzPoolBoy]

Chorizo in a breakfast taco accompanied with scrambled eggs, Gouda cheese and guacamole-jalapeño salsa on the side.

I limit myself to this treasure only 3-4 times per year because of the fat content of the Chorizo.

I don't often eat big breakfasts but if I am up a few hours beforehand, like yesterday, I like to go whole hog, so to speak, and do the eggs, hash browns, toast, and some sort of meat. Yesterday I went for the scrapple, having not done that in probably a year or so, and was served two large pieces - more than I could finish. So it got me wondering if next time out, I should order another option. Often I'm happy enough to go meatless in favor of a mushroom omelette or some such item, but since this is a football board I figured we have enough carnivores here for a good poll. What say you posters?

edit - don't know how to remove "probably" from the title of the poll, sorry about that and the other typos.

I voted 'pork chop' only because I didn't want my choice confused with sausage.

I grew up in a small town in NW PA. There was a family owned convenience store with a butcher shop in the back. The owner made the best ground pork to ever hit the taste buds. I longed for it for years. Until one day recently I'm shopping at my local Tom Thumb and see this ground pork by Syracuse. So I try it. Every bit as good as the ground pork I remember growing up.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Go getcha some!

 

[Cosmos]

Eggs Benedict is pretty decadent because of the hollandaise sauce.

^^^ This ^^^

 

[Agoodnap]

It's Taylor Ham not Pork Roll. Newbies!

 

[Cosmos]

I luv it!
Did you know Hormel foods got a boost during WWII when Spam was included in GI rations. Not only did the troops like it but so did the people indigenous to the islands in the Pacific. They can't get enough of it to this day. It's their filet mignon. Have to laugh but we had this Okinawan gal at work. She craved Spam. Ate it for lunch almost everyday. Bought it by the case.

 

[Diego Badman]

Yep. If I go to one of those breakfast buffets, I ring my cholesterol bell with them. Bacon strips are second.

SPAM, one of the reasons HRL has been and still is a dividend aristocrat. In 2007 Hormel reported that they sold their 7 BILLIONth can of the stuff. As of the below article (2014), the number was 8 BILLION.

For me, it's bacon.

Technically you'e correct, but it's probably closer to meat than scrapple

the diner? on Ridge Avenue? That would be in Roxborough, not Manayunk.
