Goschenhoppen Folk Festival

Waste not, Want not -I love this old saying. This is exemplified in the life of the early settlers, especially the Pennsylvania Germans. They say they used everything from the pig but the squeal. Scrapple was made from the head and meat scraps on the bones. They used the stomach as a casing for holding onions and potatoes-a dish called pig's stomach-which is quite good. I love the cracklins-a crunchy deep fried delicacy made for the connective tissue in fat-a result of making lard. I'll bet you are thinking, Yuk, Yuk, Yuk!
One of my favorite quotes if from Socrates: The Unexamined Life Is Not Worth Living!
