An Idea Thwarted

[halleyscomet.livejournal.com]

I was munching on some Lychee Gelatin chatting with a coworker. He was mocking my choice of food, and I responded with the comment, "Hey, at least I'm not eating Aspic."

My mind went back to last night's food shopping, and my elation at seeing that the local Supermarket carried Scrapple, and my disappointment at knowing I wouldn't be able to buy any until the kitchen was finished and the stove was functional.

Then it hit me.

Scrapple Aspic Sorbet. If I could work out a Scrapple based chaud-froid I could make Scrapple Aspic Ice Cream!

Then I remembered the pork free nature of this year's Baitcon venue. I was stumped, and remain stumped.

Does anyone out there know what the beef equivalent to Scrapple is? If so, where can I find it??? Yes, I know chaud-froid is getting dangerously close to the realm of home made Spam, but I'm intrigued by the idea. I fear that Head Cheese may be the closest equivalent product, as its basically Scrapple made from other animals, sans the barley and flour.

Perhaps I should give the whole idea up and go back to the Chicken Fried (Turkey) Bacon Ice Cream idea. If I can figure out how to transport the Chicken Fried Turkey Bacon or fry it on site I think I can make that one work.
