Default The Makings of a Scrapple Breakfast

When breaking down a pork butt into a roast and other things, the
fatty cap and trimmings are cured with Prague powder #1, salt, and
smoked pepper to make bacon and bits.

The lean trimmings and shoulder blade bone are easy to make into a
quick scrapple. Sear the scraps and simmer with the bone until very
tender. Chop or grind the cooked pork really fine and mix with yellow
cornmeal into the reserved stock along with plenty of sage, pepper,
savory, and gelatin. Mix well over low heat until cornmeal is
rehydrated. Mold and refrigerate. Slice 1/4":

And fry in the pan making sure they don't touch each other or they
will stick to each other. Served with English muffin, eggs up, and
the 'hot sauce du mois' - Encona West Indian Hot sauce made of Scotch
bonnet peppers - really good shit, mon.

It is also excellent also made with lamb in place of pork. You cannot
get scrappie from scrapple.

I've never eaten it and thought I would try it while at a born and bred
Pennsylvanian's house. Nope, that dish did not cross his threshold. He
said as a child he was made to eat it and literally had to force it down.
Truly, I would have liked to give it a shot.

In PA I could buy Habbersetts, my favorite, but here we only have Jones
brand. I like it sliced thin and fried crispy.

I've never seen it at any of the grocery stores around here as it must
be a regional dish. Around here is the upper mid-south.

I just checked it out online. Six one pound packs for $39, Another
site had two packs for $17.83. I don't know if they can even send it up
here. Maybe I am going to have to try to time my trip to be in PA around
noon. We will be going through western PA and I am thinking that may too
far east for that regional dish.

Geez, I just want to try a slice. What if that stuff is simply awful
and my taste buds say "I can't believe you would assault us with this."

Joan think of eating scrapple like the first time you performed oral
sex, you were scared you'd hate it and then you loved it.

Not so much in the West.

When I lived in SFBA, got scrapple from the Old Oakland Farmers'
Market. I remember a lotta salt and pepper! One step below Spam.

It's like they never heard of it, in CO. (thank goodness!)

You could still buy some and give it a try. I'll buy one or two
packages each year. Here, mid-atlantic south, all grocery stores
sell it right near the bacon.

Here in eastern Virginia, I only see Rapa brand scrapple. The
original is good but what is much better is the scrapple with
bacon. Best I've ever had. Like Ed, I like it sliced thin (about
1/4") nicely browned and crisp on the outside. A one pound
package at the grocery doesn't cost much....$3-$4 per pound or
so. I forget exactly as it's been 6 months or so since I've had
some.

If you rate scrapple as "one step below Spam," you didn't buy
good scrapple.

Nah, you won't notice the liver. By itself, I'd not eat it eighr but
you don't notice the small amount at all.

Liver is what I miss the most since I stopped eating meat.

Entirely possible.

WTF is 'Oven-Roasted Turkey Spam'? If they ever come out with a

You never ate proper calves/chicken liver.

If you enjoy liverwurst/braunschieger then you love pork liver.
One of the best sammis on the planet is braunschwieger on crusty NYC
Yiddish seeded rye with raw onyun and brown mustard.

>Sometime, it's best not to know what/who is in your food. 8-)


Absolutely not true, which is why I grind my own.

With enough vodka shots I've enjoyed chopped chicken liver canapes
with caviar... the hors douvers serving gals appreciated my taste,
they figured I'd eat them all. LOL

Sheldon seems to not get it that some folks just do not like the foods
he likes and the cooking type isnt going to change that.
