Sounds like you're basing your opinion on poorly-prepared scrapple. If you ate scrapple that had a soft and mushy texture, like pudding, it was not properly prepared and must have been disgusting. No wonder you don't like it.

There is a range of both quality and spicings across the various brands that are available around the Philadelphia area, and butcher shops each have their own recipes. If it is quality scrapple and is properly prepared, it's delicious. A whole lot of people agree.
