Hi, Boli!!

He's not here at the moment so I can't check. I doubt it, though - he has
told me enough tales of the family butchering hogs and using everything they
could, right on down to the scrapple. If they ran out of that, breakfast
was just cornmeal mush, or whatever it is when cornmeal is cooked, formed
into blocks and prepared the same as scrapple. As a depression kid, it all
made a big impression on him.

Also - moral of the story - check before I speak. For what it's worth, I
always thought Rapa scrapple was made in Philadelphia - the package says
Bridgeville, Delaware.
