I found this interesting piece for you.

"You may have been wondering what kind of product would flaunt the fact that it contains no snouts? . The answer is scrapple. What is scrapple? Scrapple is a breakfast meat product which has been attributed to the Pennsylvania Germans. However, although the Amish and Mennonites may still consume and produce some of this delicacy, the world's largest producer of scrapple is my home state of Delaware."

"By the way, some purveyors of scrapple still insist on including the snouts in their product. And we appreciate it. Finally, it is important to note what scrapple is not. Scrapple is not for vegetarians, those who keep kosher, or those with weak stomachs."

Or for those with any modicum of taste.

Here in Pennsylvania we also call it "ponhaus" (PAHN-hawz). My mother-in-law's neighbor makes the best scrapple. The trick to cooking it is to slice it really thin and to fry it crisp like bacon. Another thing I like to do is cook a thick piece on low heat until it gets gelatinous, and then mix it thoroughly with beaten eggs and cook them together.

True in some ways - but if you don't tell someone what it is, they generally love it.

The first time I was served scrapple I asked what it was - the answer I received was "everything from the pig except the oink."
