While in Pennsylvania last week, I got the occasion to try scrapple. It’s a pork scrap and corn meal mixture that’s poured into loaf pans, sliced and either pan fried or deep fried.

My cousin that went to UVA always said my Mother’s father’s dressing (cornbread and sausage served loose) tasted like Scrapple to him, and he was right.

I imagine this is similar to boudin- a way to use every part. Anybody else ever tried it?

It's okay. I just had it stand alone, I am sure it would be better with Blue Plate on toast. Lol

Robbie Fulks did a songabout it.

quote:

Corned and steamed, and hogmeat dappled
Set by the window 'til it's cold and hard
Sliced up thick and fried in lard

Tried it once on a visit to Philly years ago, no desire to eat it again.
I can eat boudin and hogs head cheese all day, but scrapple was horrible

live in PA for 7 years. had it several times. its ok, i think boudin beats the ever living snot out of it when it comes to regional "scrap" meat foods.

Pennsylvanians sure are proud of it though. they all talk about it , but if you ask them if they it it, its 50/50 at best.

Originally from PA and used to have it occasionally; pan fried and served with syrup. Even tried making it for my wife once. She probably agrees that once is enough.
