Scrapple????
Hey there!
Anyone know about Scrapple? It is a corn-mealy pork-ish spam-like breakfast meat that is popular a bit east of here (in particular in Pennsylvania, I am told). I had it a couple times and it is...interesting. Anyway, a friend of mine is a former trucker and considered this to be the highlight of his travel cusuine and for his b-day coming up I wanted to buy a loaf of this stuff if at all possible. TJ's doesn't have it. Mainstream markets don't seem to have it. All the West side delis I have talked to either don't carry it or never heard of it (I don't blame them). Goetta from Cincinnati was similar but uses oatmeal instead of cornmeal if I recall but even that is rare. Any scrapple fans out there???
Later!

Found Scrapple at Giant Eagle in the "meat-ish" dish section. It has a lot of meat...the leftover kind, of course. It is like the ancient forebear of Spam. My bud is crazy for it. Delish.

I saw it at Dahl's (one of the grocery chains here in Des Moines) while shopping the other day. Looks like it's not just an Ohio thing...!

Srapple is one of those dishes that was fashioned to make use of the stuff you don't otherwise use.....
Kind of a New World Hagus. Generally made from pork, the cast off pieces, referred to as offal, are cooked. The broth is redued and thickened with cornmeal. The meat is finely chopped and returned to the corn meal mixture and the mix is formed into loaves. It solidifies as it cools. The loaf can then be sliced and fried.
Usually served a breakfast side dish, so the obvious beverage is a bloody mary..
