Schweinmal

I've been lucky enough to have been served schweinmal/hog-mal/ pig stomach on three occasions in Lancaster County. I like it- despite the fibrous thing I once imagined, I've found it much like a roast beef...

The stomach simply serves as a casing for sausage and potatoes. I understand it's becoming harder to come- by. Often served with pepper cabbage.

Around Thanksgiving of 2010, I was invited to have schweinmal at my friend Robin's home. We had a nice evening of good food and conversation. Many people have welcomed me into their homes and fed me in Lancaster County, and this was a memorable evening. Robin is an excellent cook- I'm sure I had seconds.
