What exactly is a maw (and don't say kettle, although one is most likely involved)?

What exactly is a maw (and don't say kettle, although one is most likely involved)?

Right out of Wikipedia but not too far off........not limited to Pennsylvania Dutch Country in any sense.

Hog maw (sometimes called "pig's stomach" or "Susquehanna turkey" or "Pennsylvania Dutch goose") is a Pennsylvania Dutch dish. In the Pennsylvania German language, it is known as "Seimaage" (sigh-maw-guh), originating from its German name Saumagen. It is made from a cleaned pig's stomach traditionally stuffed with cubed potatoes and loose pork sausage. Other ingredients include cabbage, onions, and spices. It was traditionally boiled in a large pot covered in water, not unlike Scottish haggis, but it can also be baked or broiled until browned or split, then it is drizzled with butter before serving. It is usually served hot on a platter, cut into slices, and topped with horseradish or stewed tomatoes. It can also be served cold as a sandwich. Often served in the winter, it was made on hog butchering days on the farms of Lancaster and Berks Counties and elsewhere in the Pennsylvania Dutch Country.

Haggis! Mmmm!

Yes, settles the stomach after a nice second son casserole.

"Second son casserole" ?

Yes, a casserole stuffed with meat harvested from your second son, haven't you been following the discussion here at all.

With caution, care, trepidation, wonder, fidgeting, a level, a protractor (of course), and a love of adventure, electric probes, dental pick, loosened straps, safety glasses, steel-toe shoes, asbestos protective wear, and of course, a teddy bear, affixed to a St. Andrew's Cross (portable edition), a large bottle of Hydrogen Peroxide, and a photo of Groucho Marx, for company.

Oh, and a lunch pail containing deep-fried pork bung snack-on-a-stick; plus, a bottle of Ripple wine to wash down the matzos, and a possible crowd favorite (for sharing) sheep testicles - sushi style.

Can you relate?

Can you relate?

Yes, but I prefer Thunderbird to Ripple.

[MurphOnMillerAve]

Yes, I understand. A wise alternative.

Ripple was a fortified wine produced by E & J Gallo Winery as a Low end fortified wine that was popular in the United States, particularly in the 1970s. Possessing a relatively low 11% ABV, it was originally marketed to "casual" drinkers. Due to its low price, it had a reputation as a drink for alcoholics and the destitute.

It was what the WINEO'S carried around in a paper bag....

I've heard of folks shoving rhubarb into a pie to accompany strawberries, but only because strawberries by themselves in a pie get too mushy, it's been alleged, but beyond that, I never heard of anybody making use of rhubarb . I've spotted reddish-looking "celery-looking" bundles in the grocery store and assumed they were rhubarb .
Beyond that, I have no experience with the plant. Should I ?

No, you wouldn't like it.

We had a rhubarb plant in the backyard when I was a kid. When mom handed me a knife and said, "Go out and get two stalks of rhubarb," I knew we were in for a treat at dinner. It seemed so simple to make. Cut the leaf off. Clean stalk with a vegetable brush under running water from the faucet. Chop into 1/2 inch pieces. Place pieces in pot with water and sugar. Boil until rhubarb pieces start to break down. Cool in refrigerator until time to serve.

I'm glad you didn't ask me 'cause I got lost some time ago.
I 'm just wondering if the rain will hurt the rhubarb?.

Correct answer: "Not if it is in cans."

[rex desilets]

Only pie to beat a good strawberry-rhubarb pie for me is a good blueberry pie.

Yes, indeed.
My grandmother had a rhubarb patch out back. In season we had stewed rhubarb-really face-puckering tart-and rhubarb pie. Blessed memory.
Don't think we can raise rhubarb in sunny So Cal. Perhaps webenda can enlighten further.

A quick search provides an array of opinions ranging from absolutely no to absolutely yes.
