I thought I had left a comment, but I must have pushed the wrong button, LOL...Anyway, I had them once in Halifax, Nove Scotia, (appropriately, LOL_) and liked them. And since I'll be heading that way again soon, I shall,make a point of visiting that restaurant again...

Re: Krisles,
I am going to go into winter soup mode when I get home, and will try this with butternut squash and apple bits, with a dash of maple syrup maybe. Sweet corn might be nice in it, too. Apple is a more complex set of flavors than one might expect--sweet, but also tart, and the pectin in it is good for you. Mixing sweet with savory is also interesting.

Re: CCT,
I like deviled eggs, but it is hard to find small eggs any more, and it is so easy to eat too many deliciously deviled eggs. Wrapping them in ham or pork, breading them and frying them makes each egg go further. Not healthier, maybe, though, than eating several plain old deviled eggs.

Re: adnohr,
Sometimes they make me hungry, too... 
Some of us are just very susceptible to wonderful flavor experiences!

Re: Wiley,
I never have, either, but I imagine it is maybe an ancestor of scrapple which is also offal bits ground up and cooked into cornmeal mush, rather than oatmeal, sliced and fried up crispy rather than served in someone else's stomach.

Re: Kabu,
Turns out, there is nothing really scary about the eggs. The soup was very nice... mainly yellow squash with some apple flavor to it, and crispy fried shallots floating on top.

Re: TAPS,
Let him know I specialize in odd combinations. But I won't eat bugs. Not earth-bound ones, anyway. Shrimp, lobster--sea bugs are tasty!

Re: Pat,
If I have a chance, I will look for it. Irish pubs are not a bad thing to 'collect.'

I had delicious Scotch eggs once...but they weren't served with garlic mayonnaise - or else it just didn't get passed to me! I'm really intrigued by the idea of apple soup!

Son #1 says that's quite the combo for a meal. He says he's traveled the world but eaten nothing quite like that.

I've not heard of that place, but it sounds interesting...
I wonder if the Owl & Thistle, an Irish pub, is still there on First Avenue just at the intersection where passengers catch the Bremerton Ferry near Pier 54...
