Default Have you ever eaten.......

Gorton, sometimes known as creton? This is a home made sandwich/cracker
spread made with ground pork. Those of you who may have grown up in New
England or are of French Canadian ancestry probably have at least tried
it. It's one of my favorite childhood memories and I still make it quite
often.

I mention this because I was standing in line at the grocer's the other
day and the two 25 year olds in front of me were discussing gorton and
how much they hated it.

Everyone I've ever had try it loves it. It sort of tastes like pork
pie, but it's served cold, like a spread for a sandwich (yum with
mustard).

It's made with ground pork, onions, cinnamon, allspice, ginger and
water. If anyone is interested in the recipe, let me know.
