This has to be the grossest Xmas dinner ever

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hog_maw

I tried the stuff - ugh, it is just horrible but my family seems to love it so it gets served on a regular basis. Thanksfully there was a ham that we could toss in the oven real quick for those of us wanting to eat something more civilized

2. I don't know but it doesn't include carbo-enhanced pork stomach products

Personally I think beer is a good start

No Haggis either, I presume?

6. I don't think beer even begins to prepare you for what is described here

Vodka? Everclear? Death? I am sorry, and while normally I wouldn't be I am glad there was a ham. Go somewhere else next Christmas or have it at your place.

4. Oh dear Lord...

I remember having Scrapple when I was Washington DC...very gross for this Texan!

5. You want to know what scrapple is - I'll tell you what scrapple is **warning**

Scrapple is taking all the leftover products from butchering the pig, including hair, organs, rats, bugs and other disgusting stuff that manages to make it into to scrapple.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrapple

What kills me is all these fancy Philly folks thinking that Scrapple is the best thing out there. If they ever saw scrapple being made (and I have) you'd puke your guts out

8. I just got through looking at the wikipedia entry...

and got sidetrack on the "stubs" section...people eat some screwed up things. Scrapple is the least offensive compared to other things listed.

It's awful, but your family loves it.

Get some more cowbell going!

12. my husband is part Pennsylvania Dutch

and fortunately he has never suggested that we have this. I'd leave him. Or at least I wouldn't kiss him for a while.
