Mark: Ah, a Hershey Medical grad, eh? Excellent! I'm not sure you'll find chocolate-covered anything out there before long, if the Hershey Foods strike drags out. Better stock up on those Kisses while you can!

Speaking of junk food, I'd like to add to your list of exclusively Philadelphian culinary traditions the inimitable Tastykake. IMO, Tastykakes don't taste quite as good now as they used to when no one outside the Philly area had ever heard of them, but they're still pretty darned good. I haven't quite forgiven them, though, for changing the name "Tandy Takes" to "Kandy Kakes".

But I digress. Back to the wonders of scrapple (and wondering how long it'll take Bobert to eat ten pounds of it!).
