And then my brother claims it is stuffed with spinach, but I assume
that a) if the stuffing consisted largely of dark greens such as
watercress and kale, it might easily be confused for spinach, and b)
the flavor combination of cured pork and greens (another old
Baltimore specialty, as well as that of a number of other
19th-century American eastern cities, such as Philadelphia and New
York) is a fortuitous one.

I assume there are local differences...
