Easter is just around the corner. Our next holiday. Is anyone already thinking of what they will be making and preparing for. I myself am thinking of buying a mold for a lamb so I can make my own butter lambs and not worry about where to find one or if they run out. Wegmans our local grocery has started to sell them recently so it is not a problem but they aren't quite like the ones we use to get from the local Polish meat market with a little clove in the head for eyes.
Also I am going to try to pick up some more pysanki for my collection. Maybe even attempt to make my first babka.

Jim, Somehow, I get the impression that, you appear culturally deprived in your new location. Tennessee doesn't have a large population of Polish and/or Polish Americans. I would think the majority would be of Scots and Irish descent. Wall Mart is not known for European ethnic food but for its Spanish or Mexican ethnic food. However, on occasion, I have been able to find rabbit at Wally Mart. What does all this mean? I haven't the faintest idea !!!!

JJ,
There are not many if any Polish in the area I am. When I have to give my last name with the easy spelling it takes some time for anyone to say it. And the are is clanish. I met with an insurance guy who had moved from the next county and he said he has lived here 24 years and is still not accepted. Go figure Wal Mart does have fat back, some Mexican food stuffs. It is just different then a Polish meat market.

What are those. Do you really eat them. Or do I dare ask. ;D ;D rdywenur, Chitterlings (often pronounced /ˈtʃɪtlɪnz/ and sometimes spelled chitlins in vernacular) are the intestines of a pig that have been prepared as food. They are a type of offal. Chitterlings are carefully cleaned before they are cooked by boiling or stewing, and are often battered and fried after the stewing process. Chitterlings are also used for sausage casings. [edit] Regional and ethnic cuisine Chitterlings (chitterlins) are eaten more frequently in the southern United States. Each year at Dunbarton, Louisiana the famous Chitlin' Cookin' is held in late February or early March. In Mount Airy, North Carolina (famously known as Mayberry) there is an annual chitterling festival. The chitterlings are cooked in several different ways. Also, Yatesville, Georgia holds the annual "Chitlin' Hoedown" each year. "Chitlins" are eaten with more frequency in African American culture, and the South, perhaps due to their heritage as soul food. Goes great with cornbread and buttermilk. ;D ;D
