Other food people bring to St John

[kklay]

Here's what our group usually takes:

Steaks
Spaghetti sauce (home made)
bacon
sausage
cheese
lunch meats
*all the above are frozen for transport
also bring along

Velveeta mac & cheese (easy to prepare and a good late night food when we've had an extended "HAPPY HOUR!")
Whole wheat English muffins
Whole Grain pasta
Oatmeal (instant)
pancake mix
Frito Lay cheese dip (Jalapeno type - the qty of cans keeps increasing!)
Tea
Coffee
Sweetner
Salad dressings
Frozen orange juice
honey and/or jam
Pistachios (Same's Club - the BIG bag)
single pack Crystal Lites and/or generic brands/same - helps with good drink concoctions!
pepper & salt grinders (small ones - disposable)
crackers/Pringles (when space/weight allows)

We sometimes will also bring along a skillet - depending on the villa - some are well stock, some don't have very good pans for eggs!

I think that's it! We have brought along pre-cooked baby back ribs that just need thrown on a grill for a short time - also good eating after an extended "HAPPY HOUR" - just a little messier!

Okay, since I've seen this a couple of times, I feel compelled to ask: wtf is a porkroll? I feel sure I could google it, but I'd rather hear the description from the eater's mouth.

I'm not from the east either, so would also like to know more about scrapple.

I'm not from the east either, so would also like to know more about scrapple.

Scrapple, as I know it from my PA German upbringing, is ground up pork bits mixed with fillers to bind it together. Flour maybe? I think some people use cornmeal. It is formed into a loaf (like a meatloaf) to set up and then sliced and fried in a pan.

Scrapple, for whatever reason, did not make an appearance on my immediate or extended family's breakfast table. I knew what it was, it just wasn't served by anyone in my family. I never tasted it until I was well into my 20's which is sort of amazing considering I was raised in "dutchy" area.

My husband's PA German grandfather made it for him all the time and my husband never misses a chance to order it when it is offered at our local breakfast spots.
