I know scrapple is a East coast food. Im hoping that I will be able to find it while in Vt.
For those of you that have never heard of it, consider yourself lucky
I never heard of it, I thought that it was some kinda game.LOL. I had some on a dare years ago. I luv the stuff.
It's the stuff that they won't put in hot dogs.I still like it. I told ya if ya dont know, ya dont wana know
Locally called "everything but the oink" or made with "everything but the squeal",scrapple is typically made of hogoffal, such as the head, heart, liver, and other scraps, which are boiled with any bones attached (often the entire head), to make a broth. Once cooked, bones and fat are discarded, the meat is reserved, and (dry) cornmeal is boiled in the broth to make a mush. The meat, finely minced, is returned to the pot and seasonings, typically sage, thyme, savory, black pepper, and others, are added. The mush is formed into loaves and allowed to cool thoroughly until set. The proportions and seasoning are very much a matter of the region and the cook's taste.
Probably won't find it in VT. It's an Eastern PA thing. Although you can usually find it in some grocery stores in southern NY and NJ.Thanks Jon. I believe that is where I was when I tried it the first time (in Pa).
I love it, but it only ranks third on my breakfast meat scale. Taylor Pork Roll and bacon are numbers one and two.
It's the floor sweepings from the pork factory. I aint that poor or hungry
It's more eastern Pa, MD, De and south. No self respecting yankee would every eat that $h!t! Why becuase it tastes like $h!t!!!!!!So I take it neither of you care much for it

Best description I've ever heard of it was from a Canadian who described it as "sort of a sausage meat loaf". He loves it now, but hasn't found it in Canada.yeah "sausage" pretty much covers the ingredients.
+1 on the Taylor Pork Roll. 2 or 3 slices fried, with mustard on bread .....If you have ever worked or taken a tour of a processing plant there will be a lot of things you wouldnt want to eat. Sometimes ignorance is bliss
My wife's family is from Jersey so I have eaten scrapple a few times ......but one day I read the ingredients label and havent touched it since then.
It tastes god, but I just cant get passed the stuff I read on that label. CigarSki was pretty accurate with his description.
