What the hell is hot dog sauce?  Must be from that unfortunate western expanse of the state.

Hot dog sauce is a red sauce that one puts on a hot dog that may or may not replace ketchup depending on the stand. Frequently with ground beef in it (though not nearly the amount in chili or sloppy joes). It's mainly found at window-service hot dog stands and many people have one favorite and won't eat any others if they can help it. And if they do end up eating from another place they'll complain the whole time about how Nick's is so much better and why did we go to Ed's. These stands are also where I discovered the concept of "everything and relish." I guess relish is sufficiently unpopular that it's the same as ordering a pizza with "everything and anchovies."

I don't know what that horrid substance they serve in Chicago is, but pizza it ain't.

As a Philadelphian, I have been eating and enjoying scrapple my entire life. It is my favourite breakfast meat next to bacon, and I seriously have already looked at ways to get scrapple shipped to D.C. and Chicago.

Dude, but it's grey!
Closest we have I guess is corned beef or spam, neither of which I really touch, so Scrapple just scares me, and I've only just come across it's existence today (I think through something random too).

I had a little pressed corned beef today.  It's awesome.

Scrapple is only grey until you cook it, when it turns a satisfying brown.  It should be crispy on the outside and still a little mushy on the inside.

What makes it mushy is cornmeal.  It is basically scraps of meat mixed with cornmeal so that it holds together.  Ever had a corndog? Imagine if they mixed the meat with the outer covering.

Welcome to scrapple.

I need to eat this, now.

And you, Venuses and Cupids, need to eat the new (culinary) love of my life-- st Louis pizza from Imo's.
People who told me to be sure and try this, I will wire you the accustomed Fee.

[Doc]

who the HELL has a grudge against little Amish girls?

Fred Phelps apparently.

Sorry, totally ot, carry on.

And until I read this thread I thought scrapple was some sort of apple sauce people had on sandwiches, creepy. If it's anything like corned beef I don't want to know about it, that stuff is rank.

I'm jealous.  Imo's is great. 

It's totally counter-intuitive that it should be.  Greasy cheese, thin sauce, flavorless crackery crust.  But somehow, some way, it's just right.

I ate half a pie.

(for me, that is a big deal.)

Freshman Fifteen, this here's theInevitable. tI, here's FF.

You'll be good friends, I'm sure.

dude, I fuckin' hope so. I've been trying to gain weight since I was in the womb.

Hush, you.

Also, a lot of girls like skinny guys.

It is important to eat Imo's luke-warm or cold. Eating at the restaurant is no good. A major part of the appeal is the gummy texture of the provel. If it's fresh from the oven, it just tastes like American cheese. Their salads are also worth trying--completely unhealthy, but delicious. Iceburg lettuce with loads of provel and a sugary italian dressing.

Geeze, when I was in school all we had was Gumby's Pizza: The Pizza Place So Shitty We Only Open in College Towns! Although you do have to admire a place calling their signature item The Gumby Dammit!

Greeks make the best pizza.

This is so wrong, my grandmother is spinning in her grave.

[theinevitable]

wait, eat it cold? why! It's so good warm!

a-so: linnea, I am so aware of this. I tell my mom that I am trying to gain weight, but if I actually gain weight in a way that I can tell (ie: "I can't see my ribs! My stomach isn't perfectly flat, or even concave!") I get all weird. Luckily, I rarely gain weight permanently. I will, though, once i get off my ass and gain some muscle. which is, in my experience, what 50% of girls who pretend to like skinny boys will end up telling you to do. saying "oh, so we can tell each other stuff like that now? By the way, you could stand to (insert damaging personal remark about weight or other element of personal appearance)" is not an acceptable comeback, no matter how upsetting this is. apparently.

(clarification: I was never stupid enough to actually say that. I just really really wanted to, at the time.)
