I love it. It does not get any better than scrapple and eggs. Not even for supper.

I used to have as a kid growing up in southwest PA. I even made it once for my wife. Don't think she was impressed. We used to eat it for breakfast, topped with maple syrup.

No, I don't. I have never had it, but would like to give it a try. I would also like to try livermush from North Carolina. I think they are all pretty much the same. Wherever Germans settled you will find this sort of food.

We went to PA a while back and went to breakfast at some diner.

I'll try anything, I love hogshead cheese, didn't care for scrapple.

Now give me some NJ breakfast meat, known as pork roll or Taylor ham depending on if you are in North jersey or South Jersey.

I like it when I make it myself. I whip up a batch occasionally when I get a wild hog.

Great stuff, season it how you like it.

Yea. It's ok. My Dad is from Philadelphia / South Jersey, and he would get excited when my grandparents would bring some down. I feel the same way about the cheesesteak. It's, at best, fine, and I've tried all the local favorites. It's just flavorless meat.

I like it on a breakfast sandwich. When I lived on the eastern shore of Maryland, I'd always grab a scrapple, egg, and cheese sandwich at the Royal Farms before going fishing.

I miss Royal Farms and WaWa gas stations now that I'm back in the south.

I tried it when we were up in Philadelphia a few years ago. We were at local breakfast place that has several locations (Nudy's)- I thought it was pretty good. It reminds me of my Mom's family dressing at Thanksgiving/Christmas, except the dressing is loose, not loafed. It's a beef/pork mix with veggies & cornbread. I would eat it again for sure.

My father was from Philadelphia and we grew up eating it. All of us in the family love it and he used to order Habbersett in November because back then they only shipped during cold months and we all got a few 1 lb blocks of it.

Love it fried really crispy with an over easy egg. I still order it from time to time. I make his Hoagies too.

The difference between it and hogs head cheese is scrapple uses cornmeal as a binder where hogs head is gelatin. And it’s eaten hot where hogs head cheese is typically eaten cold.

Livermush in North Carolina is pretty much the same as scrapple except more liver.

I’ll eat all of them. They include everything but the squeal.

And scrapple contains liver which significantly changes the flavor profile.

Yep.

But not as much as livermush which is about the only difference between those two.

I put pork liver in my boudin. It’s a great flavor.

It's okay, depending on who made it. I've had some that was really good and some that was not. I like pudding better than scrapple or pon haus, if you are talking about food made from the pig butchering byproducts.

the time I ate it it was less gelatinous, it was ok. But not really seasoned.
