Man, you folks are giving this nice Jewish boy a regular HEART ATTACK! Pig's sn---no, I can't even say it. But, hey, 'Spaw, speaking of Jewish food (which scrapple assuredly ain't), I imagine that "krepples" must be the plural form of "krepple" or "kreple".

Sharon, I know that shrimp and brown gravy don't go together, and to toss in grits sounds disgusting. I KNOW this, but it really doesn't matter, because the damn mess tastes FANTASTIC. Sometimes mutually exclusive tastes combine to become great combinations. Come to Charleston sometime and try it. Blues

I know I've probably contributed to previous threads on scrapple, but I just want to join in the chorus of Yum!s. I love scrapple with a bit of maple syrup drizzled on it - it's that exquisite combo of savory, sweet and grease. We have an Amish/Mennonite farmers' market that sells the best meats I've seen in a long time, and they sell both regular AND turkey scrapple (my husband and I find the turkey scrapple too scary a concept to even think about - I mean, turkey lips....?)

I lived in East Tennessee for 2 years in grad school, and avoided grits like the plague, due to unfortunate childhood memories of lumpy Cream of Wheat. When we went to Grand Bahama this spring, grits and souse were prominant items on every breakfast menu. I got the courage to try the grits again, and found that I loved them - especially with butter, canned milk, salt and syrup on them. I never could bring myself to try the chicken or pork souse for breakfast, but I had the boil-fish one morning - big chunks of grouper or snapper, onions, potatoes, garlic and hot chiles all boiled together. It tasted great with the grits!

Haven't had scrapple in a fwe years at any rate and I love the stuff. By the way, where in Ohio, Spaw? I lived in Aurora for a couple of years when i was younger. Grits I can related to if they are done properly. Cream of wheat is best served in this manner Take the recipe and half the amount of water used, add cream of wheat save the box. cook until a thick gelatinous mass. Use product of your endeavour to repair the holes in the walls and eat the box with whatever flavor you desire. the nutritional content will be the same and it will taste better. But SCrapple man, that is great stuff! Right up there with haggis! Yum, yum! Neil

I've never been good at frying things, but I discovered a slightly more healthy alternative. Put the scrapple on a greased baking sheet and spray the tops with non-stick cooking spray, then bake at 350degrees until the scrapple is nice and brown. It's not as greasy this way.

Heck no!

As far as "Eating like this, it's no wonder we don't see folkies on prime-time TV... " it's not a very far step from grits to polenta which is very much in favour in high price restauraunts these days - or from scrapple to the various flavoured polentas they charge an arm and a leg for; nor from souse and headcheese to Terrine of Pork in Gelatine, or *shudder* Brains in Aspic.

Ahh, we're getting into brains!

Evansville, Indiana has two great gastronomic specialties: Open pit barbecue and brain sandwiches! I had never been much for barbecued ribs until I moved to Indiana and discovered open pit barbecue as it is done in Evansville. Usually the ribs are covered with a lot of excessively gloppy sauce. Not the Evansville way. The restaurant will usually give you a little pot of extra sauce if you want it, mild or hot, but just as they come to the table is fine with me! Or if you're not into ribs you can get what they call "pit slices"--sliced barbecued pork--but that's passing up the fun of eating from the bones with your fingers. You also CAN (but I don't understand why anyone would) get the shredded, sloppy stuff some people call barbecue.

Now brain sandwiches: I understand that they are not for the faint of heart, but they are great stuff! The brains are rolled in egg and breaded, then fried. Wonderful!

I haven't been to Evansville for some years now, but the two best places for barbecued ribs were Mac's and Wolf's Barbecue. I preferred Wolf's. Mac's may not still be in business.

I don't really remember where I used to get brain sandwiches. Sorry.

Thanks Mark, but I haven't had one in years! As a rep, Evansville was at the far end of my territory and I used to have one now and again when I was there. Cholesterol though was never the problem. When I went in for the bypass in '97, I was at 144! Unfortunately my earlier years probably caused a lot more damage!

Now I tell ya' though, I thought of you today when I was perusing a jar of KimChi at the grocery store. Now that stuff may be zilch on cholesterol, but the fumes will kill you!

When we lived in Denver, some friends of ours from our Quaker meeting (who were from New Jersey--it must be that scrapple and Quakers converged in the Pennsylvania vicinity) would bring it to Christmas Eve breakfast every year. People came very close to doing some remarkably un-Quakerly things to get to it before the supply ran out.

Bobert, you are quite welcome. I used to live in the town next to Telford (and I do mean "next" – cross the street and you've changed towns), so I've seen locally-produced turkey scrapple in the local supermarkets up there. In fact, that whole area is rife with meat-packing plants. I can still smell the unmistakable aroma of the trucks full of pigs headed for the plant down the street on those sweltering August days... ahhhh, memories... *G*

Anyway, I sure hope you like Godshall's turkey scrapple, especially if you're really buying TEN POUNDS of the stuff!!! Remember what I said earlier about different companies' scrapple having different flavors, different recipes for spicing, etc.? I've found only one other turkey-scrapple-seller on the internet, but there must be more out there. If you're interested in comparing flavors, that other seller I found is Eberly Poultry, a company near Ephrata, PA that specializes in organic products (free-range chicken and such): http://www.eberlypoultry.com/index.htm (it doesn't appear that they ship products to customers; however, there is a multi-state "where to buy" list).

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...)

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!).

Although I have lived Tennessee for a long time, I am from the Delmarva peninsular, where scrapple is great treat. You can make it from hog head, but you can also use a pork butt or any other piece of pork with bone. Boil off the meat meat til it is almost falling from the bone, cool and chop fine. Measure the meat, add two parts cornmeal for each three parts meat. We season it with salt, pepper, sage, nutmeg and cayenne. Add all back into the broth and cook til it gets thick, about an hour, stirring all the while. Pour into loaf pans an chill. Unmold as you need it, slice and fry. You can also use oatmeal instead of cornmeal. Haslet Stew is made at "Hog Killing Time," Take the the heart, liver and lights(lungs) and cut up cut into dice, dredge in flour, fry in lard with onions, reduce heat add water and simmer for several hours. This was my Daddy's favorite food.

Sharon, do you know I can buy TastyKakes in the KTA Supermarket here in Hilo? I agree, they should never have changed TandyTakes. My favorites were cherry and peach pie, and Butterscotch Krimpets. By the way, for my birthday party in my first year of med school at Hershey, one of my classmates gave me a special present: a Nestle's Crunch Bar! (She had to go all the way to Harrisburg to get it.)

One of our f/Friends used to bring it to Christmas breakfast at meeting and there was a lot of very unQuakerly elbowing and shoving to get to it.

I know better than to eat it often but I do when I can get it. Somebody mentioned Mexican chorizo, which sounds like a good idea for a variation . . .





I don't know how everyone's bitching about grits. There's nothing offensive about grits (except when people get snotty and call them "polenta"). Little bit of salt, little bit of pepper, maybe some garlic and shredded sharp cheese, or an egg on top. Good stuff. It amazes me that Midwesterners, for all they surround themselves with corn, can't make a decent bowl of grits.

Pork, oddly enough, is considerably less fatty than beef--as long as you trim it. Most of the fat is in a single thick layer, rather than marbled thoughout. And in any case, whatever fat is in the pork by-products (read wast and scrap) used is considerably diluted by the large amount of cereal used.

I like it and I don't want to know what it is. I might loose my apetite if I knew.

No Liz, and just to prove it, in east Ohio where it is real popular as well, we call it "Krepples." Don't ask, I have no idea......

I was fed this in Pennsylvania along with other myriad of foods I had not eaten before.

I was told that it was the scrapings of the abattoir floor and was best eaten fried and with maple syrup. My wife tried it and said it tasted of fried maple syrup.
