Actually, Scrapple is sort of like--well, it IS fried cornmeal mush, but with a meat content and flavoring.

A lot of the world's best foods are poor-people food in origin, or maybe I should say "needfully thrifty-people food". Scrapple is like haggis in that it's a way to get food value out of what would have been waste from the slaughtering. They're both good if you can get around your own prejudices.
