"Scrapple"

I have no idea if I have spelled that correctly or not ... but I do know that I tried it the other morning.  I had never heard of it before two days ago when I tried it for the first time.  My folks used to get it "a lot" when they lived in Pennsylvania and as I was very small when they lived there I don't recall it.

Scrapple is created from the "scraps" of pork that - I gather - a butcher has and someone - way back when (and when exactly is way back when?  well i haven't the slightest clue) - decided to put them all together (they are all bits of pork after all) and created another form of breakfast meat.  Phew ... that sounds, um appetizing now doesn't it?!  Ha ha ha!

The bits of meat are combined with corn starch (I believe) to hold it all together.

Apparently my Stomach on a Mission Daddio's Dad used to eat it and love it and passed the love onto my father.  So we had it the other morning with our eggs and toast.  You de-container it and slice it and cook it on a bit of oil the way you would a breakfast sausage - it gets a bit crispy - and to my taste buds it is really similar to breakfast sausage in taste.

Not bad.  Give it a try at some point.
