Much to my wife's chagrin, I rarely throw anything away. Every chicken, turkey, or beef bone is made into stock, and trimmings from meat always get saved. Call it....a hobby of mine grin

So, I ended up with a medium sized (7-10 pound?) mixing bowl of mixed pork and beef scraps. The scraps come from pork loin and beef chuck roasts, so it's some pretty decent scrap, maybe even a bit on the lean side.

As it's mixed, I suppose I will stay away from any kind of summer sausage, probably can't do burger for the same reason (plus, have 100 lbs of ground beef on hand), and nothing else is striking my fancy.

Anyone have any ideas?

I made a batch of chorizo a while back that came out great - this may work well for that as it's beef *AND* pork...

What about Scrapple? My wife may not eat it just because of the name and general concept, but with regular trimmings and no organ meat - maybe?

Any other creative ideas?

EDIT: Just had a thought.......... Boudin. I have never made it. Maybe in a batch of jambalaya? Hmmm.......
