I remember my mother serving it to us when I was young. We had recently
visited my great uncle at his farm and he had some pigs. We watched him
slop the pigs. When I saw the green casserole it looked just like that
pig slop.

In my mother's later years she re-introduced it, serving it at
Christmas. It was much better than I had remembered (remembered
expecting it to be like?). It was quite tasty. Now I understand why it
has become a TG tradition for many people.
