The Last Chevy Cruze

  • Today the last one was shown going through the assembly line in Lordstown where the plant will be closed after that one is completed. Very sad day for America and for the fine people that once built me a Cruze to my specifications. I contacted the guy in charge of it this morning as he had come in from retirement last summer to see the last one to be built. We have plans to meet in S.A. where his daughter lives when he is here for a visit in late April. All-around good guy and a fine union man. He has a lot of friends seeing their jobs disappear today.

    If anybody anywhere in the world wanted a Chevy Cruze it would probably still be open.

    In other news Kiko Hershberger's House of scrapple sushi drive-thru just closed.

    A fictional product which nobody wants oh, much like the Chevy Cruze. Scrapple is a Pennsylvania Dutch dish made of cornmeal mush and organ meat. Sushi is, well hell you know what sushi is. No, not the former GM of the Cleveland Browns either.

    Scrapple was a regular part of a NJ breakfast. We lived on the NJ/PA border.

    I've had it, don't particularly like it. Black and white pudding on an Irish breakfast plate is a lot better. Scrapple reminds me a little bit haggis.

  • This receipe doesn't sound bad:

    Pennsylvania Dutch Scrapple

    1 pound lean pork
    1 large onion 
    3 quarts water
    1 1/2 teaspoons salt
    1 tablespoon pepper
    1 teaspoon ground sage
    3 cups cornmeal

     

    Place pork pieces into large pan; add whole onion and water. Cook slowly, covered, for 2 1/2 hours; drain, reserve broth (about 3 quarts), and remove onion.

    Chill meat and remove fat; separate meat from bones. Chop meat.

    In kettle, place meat with 2 quarts of reserved broth. Add salt, pepper and sage; bring to a boil.

    Combine cornmeal with remaining 1 quart reserved broth and stir into boiling mixture. Cook over medium heat until thickened, stirring constantly. Cover and cook over very low heat; stir again after 20 minutes.

    Pour into two 9-by-5-by-3-inch loaf pans. Cool and chill overnight. Cut into slices, coat with flour if desired, and brown in butter or bacon fat. Serve hot with eggs for a hearty breakfast.

    That is some high quality scrapple haha. In most servings it isn’t “pork pieces”. It is just the left over stuff that isn’t fit for bologna. I grew up with it so I like it but it can be a little funky.
