scrapple yummmmmmm
So a few years back some friends and I took an RV trip to Jacksonville to watch Maryland in the gator bowl. We made it to Savannah for last call and had a great night. When we got moving the next day we went to a bob Evans or Cracker Barrel (can't remember which one it was) for breakfast I tried to order scrapple. I was way hung over and needed something good to straighten me up. Waitress looked at me and said "I'm not sure what you are talking about but we don't have that". I looked at her and said stop fu##ing with me I just want some scrapple. Then one of my friends looked at me and said they don't know about scrapple here. So I had to apologize and order bacon. I then told that below NC scrapple is an unknown thing to them. Man they just don't know what they are missing.

We have scrapple frozen here in the Midwest, I've never tried it but considering I eat nearly anything that doesn't have olives in it I might have to give it a go.I raise my kids, cook and golf. When work gets in the way I'm pissed, I'm pissed off 48 weeks a year.Inbetween Iowa and Colorado, not close to anything remotely entertaining outside of football season.

Oh, now I want scrapple bad. I have some in the freezer, just might have to get it out for breakfast.
Edit: done, looking forward to breakfast.They/Them

All I've ever heard about scrapple makes me glad I've never even seen it!
I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

@dmw I always thought freezing scrapple changed the texture.
RAPA scrapple is only about 15 minutes away from my house. I need to go knock on there door and tell them they need to change the recipe. I do cheat every now and again but I'm not supposed to eat it as it had flour in it. Which makes it NOT GLUTEN FREE but I will deal with the consequences because it's good. Also RAPA makes one with bacon that is great.
I may just go to the store in the morning and get some as I really want it. We will see. -

@Carolina Q you just don't know what you are missing. There is this one bar in DC that we would got to in the morning when we got off from work. We would get Scrapple Cheeseburgers, they are awesome.

I've never heard of it and had to look it up. I think that's what we call potted meat in the south.

@Firemanyz - How do you like your scrapple? I like to smother with ketchup and smash it all up with a fork and eat it with runny eggs and toast. Dang, I'm getting fat just thinking about it.They/Them

As a proud Pennsylvania Dutchy, I can honestly say that I have never heard this much love for scrapple in my life. I thought it was fading away (along with alot of regional cuisine) because those not eligible for AARP just don't eat it much in my experience. Hell, we all rebeled against it when I was a kid and neither I nor my buddies ever developed a taste for it. However, some other regional pork products the I like: (1) ring bologna, (2) Lebanon bologna and (3) pork roll.Always seeking the high I experienced from my first true BBQ experience.

What's scrapple?...
Tri-tip is big in California... Plus lots of good Mexican food - carnitas, al pastor, lengua,MM & XL BGE, Bay Area CA -
@qingesq I'll give pork roll a second. I had never had it until I came back to our beach house in Dewey Beach DE one night loaded and there was someone in the kitchen cooking it. I went all in and I think I probably ate a pound of it. I need to check it out again as it may be gluten free. It's been awhile since I had that also.

Ok. Seriously what is scrapple? You know how behind the times us southerners are....In the middle of Georgia! Geaux Tigers!!!!!

@bo31210 I put a link to the Wikipedia definition a few posts back.

Big fan here -- transplanted Delawhereian, adopted scrapple whole hoggedly. For best results, cook it hard on a flat top griddle (anyone have one of those??) and serve under 2 eggs over easy. Ketchup is a must. Hot sauce (thin, vinegar style like Tx Petes) optional.
There's a place here at the beach that has fancied it up -- scrapple empanadas served with an onion maple syrup marmalade. Not for me. After the 5th order, ive pretty much decided to go back to traditional diner scrapple. Pretty much.It's a 302 thing . . . -

Man that’s odd, I’m 10 minutes away from you & couldn’t report more of an exact opposite history; growing up (right down the road from the original Habbersett factory no less) not only didn’t we rebel against it we all loved it & still do. I don’t really remember anyone not liking it, it was as much a part of breakfast life as bacon, eggs & pancakes… It wasn’t until I left the area for college in western PA that I realized what a local thing it was & how the un-indoctrinated looked at it with horror & disgust. I lived in an off-campus house for a couple years & two of my roommates were also from the Philly area, we had it shipped up to us somewhat regularly & cooked it all the time to the disdain of our western PA roommates hahaha – **** them
Try it on a pizza with caramelized onions, it’ll change your opinion

Does scrapple taste like anything the rest of us might know? Serious question. I have never tried or even seen the stuff.

Growing up in the midwest, I had never heard of scrapple. My daughter went to college in Philadelphia. Got introduced to it on one of my visits. My local butcher here in se FL actually carries it. It is now in the rotation for breakfast meats along with bacon and sausage.Southeast Florida - LBGE
In cooking, often we implement steps for which we have no explanations other than ‘that’s what everybody else does’ or ‘that’s what I have been told.’ Dare to think for yourself. -

My family never made scrapple but my college roommate (also from MN) brought some back from the farm and cooked it up, I liked it.
My favorite dish in New Mexico was huevos rancheros, a fried corn tortilla topped with fried eggs, then a sauce made from either green or red chiles (or you could order "Christmas", some of each) then topped with cheese; refried beans and flour tortillas on the side. I get a bushel of green chile every summer and keep my freezer stocked; good stuff!_____________Tin soldiers and Johnson's coming...

If you want to try it, look for a market that handles Dietz & Watson products. They make a version of scrapple that should be available to any of their vendors in your area. It freezes well. My local butcher has had some trouble keeping it in stock. I usually buy several packages and freeze them until needed.Southeast Florida - LBGE

I am happy to hear that there are apparently still many folks keeping regional cuisine like scrapple alive. For those asking what it is and what it's like, you can try it. Here is a link to the PA general store which will ship scrapple and other PA based products http://www.pageneralstore.com/product/LeidyScrapple
Looking forward to hearing about other regional foods.
@Zippylip I would happily try your scrapple pizza. It is a nice looking pie!Always seeking the high I experienced from my first true BBQ experience.
