Scrapple is a Pennsylvania Dutch meat product. It's prepared more or less by boiling miscellaneous pork scraps sort of to a mush, and thickening it with corn meal, then letting it set. There may be some pepper and salt or something in the mix.

You slice off slices, and fry them, sort of crisping them. Scrapple is sometimes eaten just that way, and sometimes served with syrup. It's one of those things that you either love or hate. I love it.

Thinking of how it's made, I think of it as a sort of Pennsylvania Dutch Haggis. Which I also like.
