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

I like livermush, the North Carolina version of scrapple.

Mmmmm..... Scrapple Deep Fried with Eggs Sunny Side Up. Breakfast of the gods.
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.
My favorite breakfast meat.
Made from the stuff not good enough for hot dogs.
Not a fan.
There is a small bit of Philly in Santa Fe NM called Harry’s Roadhouse that serves scrapple. The owner is originally from PA and has had scrapple on the breakfast menu for a long time. According to a segment on Food Network, his recipe uses pork shoulder as the base. I always order it when visiting SF.
I love home made scrapple. Can’t stand the canned stuff
It’s right up there with haggis.
