Prettles - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 pork butt or 1 fresh picnic roast, or some fattier pork combined with a little less beef
old-fashioned oatmeal
ground allspice
salt
pepper

Preparation

Boil the meat until it falls off the bones, generally in a dutch oven on top of the stove.
About 2 hours.
Reserve cooking liquid.
Remove meat from bones and grind, fat and all in meat grinder.
Cook old fashioned oats in the cooking liquid, adding enough oats to make a texture like oatmeal.
Mix ground meat with oatmeal mixture and add allspice, salt and pepper\"to taste\".
I used a fair amount of allspice, 1-2T for a batch.
Refrigerate or freeze in serving sized batches.
Prepare by spoon frying, with a little butter or oil, until a browned coating forms.
Eat for breakfast or on bread as a sandwich.
