Pan Haus

(Fayetteville Arkansas USA)

My great grandfather always made pan haus in the fall during the time they were butchering the hogs. My father would take us kids to the farm when he went to help. I remember very little about it i was 3 or 4 but I do remeber eatting it and watching my great grandmother making it. People have told me it is the same as scrapple but I have had scrapple and it is not the same. Grandfathers was very yellow and I do not remember meat in it but my mother said there was meat in it. Grandfather would serve it to us kids with buttermilk pancakes, eggs, and maple surup. I always thought that they made the pan haus with the water they boiled the meat in to make head cheese, my father loved the head cheese and it seems that was what he had told me before he passed away. I know there was no spices in it other then salt and the flavor was very corn. I hope you can help me I would like to serve my grandchildren the dish I remeber my great grandfather fixed us kids when we were small.
Thank you
