In my part of the South, we referred to Scrapple as Hog Head Cheese.

Basically, no part of the hog goes to waste, including the hooves, tail, ears and brains.

My Grandmother use to take the hog head and boil it and then split it open and pick out the brains to make Scrapple aka Hog Head Cheese.

You hadda remind me. My local market stopped carrying it, and I’ve been suffering dietary deficiency ever since.

[Red Badger]

Yep! That’s what we called it to!

I’d love some with soft scrambled eggs and grits right about now!...................

[Red Badger]

Make your own!..............

I’ve always said people will eat things they never thought they would if hungry enough....I’d have to be damn hungry to eat that mess. Lol!

[Red Badger]

It’s really good served with eggs and grits!.................

In 1979, I moved to Rosslyn, Va., across the river from DC, for a few months. The morning after I arrived, I realized I was in the South when I had grits and scrapple with my eggs for breakfast.

Scrapple Day!....................

I was in Scranton PA one time when I was a young Marine and went for breakfast at a local diner.

Ordered ‘grits’ with my eggs and the waitress didn’t know what it was!...............

I like livermush, the North Carolina version of scrapple.

I grew up outside of Philadelphia. My parents were born in "senner siddy" Philadelphia. I bleed orange and black during hockey season. I love Pennsylvania.

But I hate scrapple. Holy Hannah. It's made of the stuff leftover after making hot dogs. The ingredients are worse the solyent green.

I'll take your word for that bro.......and another delicacy I'll be passing on.......yeeesh

Scrapple From the Apple by Charlie Parker

[Woodman]

Mmmmm..... Scrapple Deep Fried with Eggs Sunny Side Up. Breakfast of the gods.

[FamiliarFace]

To my knowledge. I’ve never had scrapple, but I have had chitlins once, and once was enough for me. The smell alone had me remove myself from the kitchen and open the windows and doors.

[Red Badger]

Scrapple is a lot like sausage, just a different form.............

[sonova]

DO NOT FREEZE! Says it right on the label. Will it turn into something worse?

[ConservativeInPA]

My favorite breakfast meat.

[FamiliarFace]

Sounds like it’s not terrible. Chitlins are terrible. I’ll never forget that smell. Worse than vomit.
