Author's Comments

The Pennsylvania Dutch were as frugal as any other colonists and found ways to use every part of a butchered animal. They even, used the cleaned pig stomach. It was considered a special treat and was usually stuffed with sausage and vegetables, then baked. But the origin of its name, French Goose, is a mystery.
