Deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelicious...and, as the story said “But what parts of the hog go into the creation of scrapple? After the ham, bacon...” proves the old adage that EVERYTHING tastes good with Bacon.
Some of those same German settlers migrated to North Carolina in the 1750’s and gave the world Liver Mush. Very similar, just limited to liver instead of offal. One might consider that an improvement, lol.
For those of gentle palate, and children not very fond of pork, the alternative to scrapple is fried cornmeal mush. Properly prepared, then fried in bacon grease or vegetable oil, with some maple syrup on top, it is a much milder companion to scrapple.
In my part of Penna, the home butchers cooked the scrap part of scrapple and poured it into pans and covered it with melted lard for preservation. This was commonly called puddins.
>p<This was heated for breakfast along with cornmeal mush. The mush was mixed on the plate with the puddins. Eggs and potatoes were also served. The left over mush was cooled in pans so that it could be fried for lunchtime ‘dinner’ or evening ‘supper’ served with molasses or if desired some more puddins.
Everything but the squeal, minus the ham and bacon.
That's actually about as good a definition of "American" as one could ask for.
Lamh Foistenach Abu!
Heart attack on a plate..that’s eat’in!!!!
I love Scrapple! My wife hates the smell so I can’t cook it.
sweepings, that’s what goes in scrapple.
Bridgeville Delaware has an Apple/Scrapple festival at the end of summer!
Scrapple sandwich on white bread with american cheese ketchup, add a fried egg if it’s breakfast time. mmm mmm good.
Personally I prefer Rappa brand.
The young woman seems to have thrived upon it. Clearly an important part of a healthy diet, lol.
How about some chicken rivvel soup on the side and shoo fly pie for dessert?
Seriously.. having been to several food magazine photo shoots I could here a conversation for these pics that might go something like this:
Food Stylist: “what are we shooting today ?”
Director; “Scrapple”
Food Stylist; “What’s Scrapple.”
Director; “You don’t want to know, just make it look good.”
my local ACME sells corn meal mush in a loaf, for slicing and frying. I think the brand name is Kinsler.
