I bought a butchered hog just north of Philadelphia a few years ago from a Mennonite farmer. It was the absolute best pork I've ever had. Of course he packed quite a few "bricks" of scrapple and that was fantastic. I cooked it the way you described. Well, the thin sliced way. He also packed a couple of small buckets of lard. I had no idea what to do with that.

You should have asked me. I could have given you a suggestion.

The trick is to use really high heat. It's amazing how many restaurants are completely unable to accomplish this. All they serve you is a spongy, grey slab instead of crunchy, golden brown shingles.

Lard you use when frying or scrambling eggs. Put a tablespoon in the skillet, and I promise your eggs will wow you.

I'm getting a bit drooly just thinking about eggs fried in bacon grease . . .

Cook french fries in that lard. I love scrapple. I also have high cholesterol, who would of figured that. I think that is from the sunscreen though.
