Hog Maw

Description

This Pennsylvania Dutch specialty - also called Susquehanna turkey or Pennsylvania Dutch goose - is a traditional New Year's Day dish for many Pennsylvania German families. It is made from pig's stomach stuffed with cubed potatoes and loose pork sausage, while other ingredients include cabbage, onions, and selected spices. In the Pennsylvanian language, it is known as seimaage , originating from the German saumagen (lit. sow's stomach). Hog maw was traditionally boiled, but it can also be baked or broiled, and it is drizzled with butter before being served, when it is usually topped with horseradish or stewed tomatoes.
