Since moving away from Philly (28 years ago), it is difficult to get
scrapple. A few years ago the Stop & Shop supermarket started to carry
Jones brand so I started buying it and was happy. Last weekend we were in
Philly so we bought a few packages of Habbersett scrapple. It has a better
texture, better flavor. While the Jones is acceptable, Habbersett would be
my first choice every time.

Picked up some Taylor pork roll also.

I can mail order that stuff, but it becomes incredibly expensive. Scrapple
in the store is about 2.69 but 6 pounds mail ordered is $65. I'd rather
put that kind of money to a good steak.

Taylor pork roll hails from New Jersey, iirc. Never tried it.

I have an old fashioned recipe for scrapple. Starts off "Take a hog's
head..."

Spelling doesn't count. Cooking does.

I can only get Jones. Habbersett I haven't had for probably
32 years (in Harrisburgh, PA).

I can't even get Jones brand around here any more. I don't see
twhat theproblem is - it's shrink-wrapped as a brick and lasts
forever in the grocery freezer. Eventually I'll buy them all
anyway.
