Food sissies, I would skip this comment. I've eaten blood sausage from a scotch Irish deli in NJ. it is delicious! Although admittedly, made so tasty from the strong spices used. Another interesting experience was going to a Persian restaurant with a foodie friend. When seeing a whole sheep's head being served I was NOT excited. My friend then told me she had eaten it as well as the eyeballs included in the head. Loved her and applauded her grit. She explained that they only had 3 or 4 heads per dinner service (so you had to get there early) and when eaten with fresh lemon juice it was delicious. Oh dear, they didn't have any left for us. Can you imagine my relief? My culinary interest drew the line at sheep's head. I am still grateful for that decision.

Blood pudding (black and white pudding) is from Africa.
Boiled bladder, liver etc is from Scotland, haggis.
Ice-cream is Mediterranean.
Firecake is definitely euro-American.
Scrapple is what is known as hotdogs, euro-American.
Pumpkin/ pumpkin pie, Native Indian/American.
Madera, really?
Coffee, everywhere but Europe or euro-American.
Bread - Definitely Europe and the world over.
Rum - Carribbean.
Cranberry - Native Indian/ American.
Rice - Asia.
Tea - Everywhere including Native Americans/ Indians, but Europe and Euro-American.

What sounds the tastiest that I would eat? that would be scrapple. My heritage is Pennsy Dutch and I was born and raised in Delaware. My Grandparents and mom were from Pennsylvania. Scrapple is the one thing I know thats awesome. Has to be cooked crispy and tastes even better with two dippy eggs. My grandmother could always make it the best, probably because she cooked it in bacon grease. Makes me miss my grandparents even more.

Ate scrapple just about every weekend of my childhood, up until? Still eat it, just less often as it's a little more difficult to find since leaving the east coast. Now when I do find it. I STOCKPILE like a MoFo. Nothing better than a medium thick cut piece (not TOO thick, not too thin) with a super crusty/crunchy outside. Plain with syrup + Tapatio, or egg & cheese on English muffin

I just came here for the food and when I looked at some of these comments, how hateful they were. It's disappointing how some people will never change.
I mean come on, it's food. You can make it different from wherever you left from and call it something else to feel better. Sure it'll still be similar but at least it feels a bit more new.

I'm from DC and theres scrapple in my fridge right now lol.
For those who are wondering, Scrapple tates like a loosely packed breakfast sausage. You can fry it hard and crispy through out by slicing it really thin. But mostly it's crispy on the outside and kind of soft and mushy on the inside.

When I saw Jeffersons face as our lovely narrator was commenting on his budding love for ice cream, I thought I saw for a moment, in his eyes, a twinkle. Our boy loves ice cream. God, bless this country. I felt that shit in my core for some reason.

Scrapple is very similar to whats call liver mush here in the south, and is very good. I have relatives from Maryland who eat scrapple from Pennsylvania and relatives in NC that eat Liver Mush and both believe their version is better.

Scrapple is delicious. It's like a breakfast sausage sort of, and obviously it's just very cheap pork with some filler and the correct spices. I would suggest that with some maple syrup, most Americans would love it.

As a Virginia girl, I understand ones disgust but, I have eaten scrapple with my Sunday breakfast almost every week ( least every other Sunday) of my 29 years of life. It's not bad to be honest!

I have had blood pancakes before. and hope to never have them again. I imagine it shares a coppery taste with blood pudding, something else that will never appear on my table.

I cook exclusively with medeira wine. Any recipe that calls for cooking wine I use medeira for. The depth of flavor it adds cannot be overstated. It is tremendous.

Were you being racist or just body shaming the woman mentioned in the segment about bread? In both cases its rude, crass and unprofessional as well as pathetic.

I still remember reading a story about Jefferson giving a room of founding fathers panic attacks by eating a tomato. They all thought they were poisonous!

I see you people were utterly, obsessed with meat right from day one. Some of these recipes make me damn, glad I'm vegetarian or largely, vegetarian anyway.
