Oh my God no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Mr King]

I would like to try it fried.

It is called ''balkenbrij'' here in the Netherlands. Remember my grandparents eating it. Smells horrible, never tasted it and never will.....

 

It was especially popular in the countryside (most in the Brabant and Limburg provinces). They use mainly slaughter remains as ingredients with some variants. In Limburg blood is used as seasoning and in Brabant baked bacon.

"Scrapple" was started as a fraternity prank at Temple University back in 1903. It just spread from there to the surrounding areas.

Kurt Waldheim Jr. would have accurately described your bon mot as "lies, all lies".

 

Scrapple = everything but the 'oink'.

For those who are a bit queasy on its constituent parts, just think of scrapple as coming from the rectangular part of the pig.

Scrapple reminds me of haggis, but generally not as nice. The Pennsylvania Dutch are actually Germans.....Deutsch.

and Geoff would find it as garbage(while extolling the virtue of Haggis)

While some folks consider it the Awful Offal, its not too far removed from Spam. Generally though, I prefer my leftover parts to come stored in a casein tube.

 

A "dumb Dutch" phrase some of my forebears heard often at family gatherings;

 

Outen the light!

 

Which is funny for two reasons; the German/English mishmash, and the neurotic obsession with turning lights off as soon as humanly possible (which my old man inherited, big time).

Guilty also from Pa. roots.

It's called Paunhas down here in Central Texas where the Germans settled. A local VFD makes THE best. The Texas variety is generally cut thinner, and fried on a griddle afterwards.

I too am a serial light switcher offer, not sure where it came from though. It was not something I remember dad or his dad making a big deal over.

 

As far as scrapple goes, I'll give it a shot some time if I run across it in a restaurant but don't plan on actually buying and cooking it myself.

[Stargrunt6]

The name alone makes me queasy. I've seen it at stores and immediately turn away.

Store bought scrapple is not so good. Home made scrapple is the best and remember people use different recipes, but it contains everything but the oink!! The last time I helped make it we did not use the brains. People here in Central Pennsylvania love it!

You're all worthless and weak!

[Simon Tan]

I get my scrapple from the Amish mart. Reminds me of haggis.

Dated a girl from Philly for nearly 3 years, she lamented the lack of it out here in the left coast. I luckily never had to try it. Interestingly, although she hails from the Germantown neighborhood of Philly, she is African-American, which goes to show how far this cultural delicacy has penetrated!

I'm an apex predator so that I don't have to eat offal. That swill is for the dogs and the slaves, dogs first. S/F.....Ken M

When I was a kid up in Cincinnati there was also Goetta:

It is made out of better stuff than scrapple.

I imagine with the food shortages up in Sandyland, folks are going to have to resort to eating scrapple soon.
