bill, I have made a lot of gnocchi, I have put a lot of stuff on the gnocchi, I have never nor do I believe ever would have thought of scrapple on gnocchi, two of my favorite foods no less, I can imagine how good that one was, excellent idea

What is scrapple?

lowercasebill · February 2009

thanks , the way i see it , is , you are the only one that will appreciate this.. it was good. and i was looking to do something 'out of the box' next up scrapple pizza

Harleydog, it is basically cornmeal mush flavored with various unmentionable pork parts & fat, sliced & fried, a truly unique delicacy

Sounds like a guilty pleasure.

that was definitely out of the box, & regarding that pizza, how'bout the scrapplezza, could get messy however, probably need to cover the grid in foil, turn it into a giant frying pan, flip it then top it, maybe with scrambled eggs & American Cheese, ketchup if yer into that, homefries, man o man I am f'n starvin, but it is too late for me to eat, gives me nightmares :evil:

dad was a depression era child wwII vet, pa dutch [german] sent to chester county in the summer to work in the mushroom mines.. to get him out of the city ,, told me that the pork scraps were boiled in lye to kill the bateria and often he would find bits of saw dust from the butcher shop floor in the scrapple. traditionally cooked in a huge cauldron loke apple butter
