Ketchup or Maple Syrup?

[Papa Deuce]

On your SCRAPPLE? ...... just because I have to have a scrapple thread once a year!

 

[TeresaBelle]

I vote nothing...ick...but I do love me some scrapple!!

 

[HelenePA]

You can have my share of scrapple and put what you want on it...

 

[Todd&Copper]

I actually prefer Taylor Pork Roll, naked. (Meaning w/o ketchup or syrup, not eating it in the nude. Although, now that I think about it, as long as we are at home . . . . )

 

[disneysnowflake]

Eww. I can't get past the nasty grayish color of scrapple. My dad likes it though.

 

[Nancybee]

This made me laugh... Scrapple is gross to me...
I will just have the ketchup or the maple syrup instead... ha ha

 

[Master Mason]

I asked my dog, who is the only one here that would eat it, she said she didn't care.

 

[HelenePA]

as much as I hate the stuff and would never touch it... I think it smells good. Reminds me of my dad.

I've never had it, and don't think I ever intend to. I just googled what's in it and all I can say is, no thanks.

 

[jimmalru80]

No Scrapple for me.

 

[Papa Deuce]

This is before it gets fried.

I would rather eat scrapple than a steak, and I am not kidding.

 

[Ilovemylife]

Never heard of it ~ must be a regional thing.

 

[Pooh67_68]

I don't go out of my way to buy it, but if family has it I may eat a small piece. Nothing on it.

My aunt will fry it for my uncle and he doesn't put anything on it either.

 

[Rora]

I am NOT fan of scrapple but DF is.. sadly. When he makes me eat it I drown it in maple syrup. :

I'm one who had never heard of it so I looked it up.

It sounds remarkably like ALPO

Scrapple is typically made of hog offal, such as the head, heart, liver, and other scraps, which are boiled with any bones attached (often the entire head), to make a broth. Once cooked, bones and fat are discarded, the meat is reserved, and (dry) cornmeal is boiled in the broth to make a mush. The meat, finely minced, is returned, and seasonings, typically sage, thyme, savory, and others are added. The mush is cast into loaves and allowed to cool thoroughly until gelled. The proportions and seasoning are very much a matter of the region and the cook's taste.

Commercial scrapple often contains these traditional ingredients, with a distinctive flavor to each brand. A few manufacturers have introduced beef and turkey varieties and color the loaf to retain the traditional coloration derived from the original pork liver base.

Vegetarian scrapple, made from soy protein or wheat gluten, is offered in some places. It is seasoned to be much sweeter than typical meat scrapple.



I think I'll stick with the steak thanks.

I was about to do the same. Its not at all what my thoughts conjured up! I like what I was thinking much better. That really sounds nasty.

For those that eat it, what does it taste like? Can it be compared to anything else?

I'll say this: It is WAY better than Spam. It is very hard to describe and it can taste different based on what spices are used. It is ALWAYS good, though! I get mine from a local farmer's market when I can. If not, I buy the Hatfield brand. Scrapple was supposedly created in Hatfield, PA.

Don't knock it til you have tried it. We fed it to some friends from England and they loved it, but we wouldn't tell them what was in it until they tried it.
