Thread Name: What's 'Scrapple'?????
Subject: RE: What's 'Scrapple'?????
Ephrata? Why, that's not too far from Hershey, where I went to medical school. Maybe you can find chocolate-covered scrapple.....

Actually, I was surprised to learn from this thread that scrapple was not an exclusively Philadelphian culinary tradition, like cheesesteaks, hoagies, soft pretzels, and poi. (Aha--just wanted to see if you were paying attention!) Never ate the stuff myself, but I remember they served it at Horn & Hardart's restaurant on Roosevelt Boulevard (yes, I know H&H started in New York, but it was also a Philadelphia tradition...)

Aloha,
Mark
