SC_RedskinsFan Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Store scrapple, not so good, Amish scrapple=money!! You are on the money here. We called it Panhas. It took me a few minutes to remember it was called scrapple also. You could only get it one time of the year. The good ol days growing up in the Shenandoah Valley.

Tastes Like Chicken Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Funny you mention it, I was craving scrapple the other day. Haven't had it in years. Got into a discussion with Ben, about scrapple while we were waiting for the Green Lot to open last Sunday. He said one time, he saw eyelashes and was grossed out. Pigs have eyelashes? Okay, that swayed me. :puke: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techboy Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 It's been described to me as "the parts of the pig that were rejected as not good enough to be in a hot dog". I always thought it was a Philly thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Sick Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Heck yeah! Slice it thin and fry it up! Used to eat a lot of it in college - my roommate from the Eastern Shore was addicted. Growing up, we were more into bacon and home-kill sausage. Mmmm, spicy sausage... Has anyone else heard of Souse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mufumonk Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 It's been described to me as "the parts of the pig that were rejected as not good enough to be in a hot dog". I always thought it was a Philly thing. Like I said........everything from the heel to the squeal. Whatever is leftover from sausage is used to make scrapple.

Joe Sick Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 From wikipedia: Scrapple is a savory mush of pork scraps and trimmings combined with cornmeal and flour, often buckwheat flour. The mush is formed into a loaf, and slices of the scrapple are then fried before serving. Scraps of meat left over from butchering, arguably too disgusting to be used or sold elsewhere, were made into scrapple to avoid waste. Scrapple is best known as a regional food of the Eastern Shore of Maryland, Delaware, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and the rest of Maryland. Scrapple is arguably the first pork food invented in America. The culinary ancestor of scrapple was the Low German dish called Panhas, which was adapted to make use of locally available ingredients. The first recipes were created more than two hundred years ago by German colonists who settled near Philadelphia and Chester County, Pennsylvania in the 17th and 18th centuries[1]. A similar food, pawn haas or pon haus -- a term hailing back to the old German dish -- contains no meat but is made of seasoned corn meal soaked in the broth left over after the pork is removed to make the pudding. It can be found in most supermarkets throughout the region in both fresh and frozen refrigerated cases. It can sometimes be found in frozen form in cities as far away as Los Angeles. Not sure where that earlier comment about "slave food" came from... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumrunner6900 Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 I LOVE scrapple. Plan on having some for breakfast in the morning. Definately a regional thing. It is pretty big in PA. My favorite store bought brand is Rapa, but I had the opportunity to eat home made scrapple in PA last year. That was excellent. It is all about the spices used! I suggest everyone try it once. Close your eyes if you have to, just savor the taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chipwhich Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 I didn't even know there was another brand, other than homemade... If you don't know RAPA you don't live in an area known for scrapple. Scrapple is excellent if cooked correctly. And it is nothing like spam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt Rich Fla Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Looks like a weird cross between meatloaf and spam. I'd probably give it a try. First I've heard of it. Your in MD right now and this is the first you've heard of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THEREALTOR1 Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 If you don't know RAPA you don't live in an area known for scrapple.Scrapple is excellent if cooked correctly. And it is nothing like spam. A friend of mines dad works for Rapa. I actually prefer Delaware Maid to Rapa. But with that being said, when I was little, my grandfather used to raise and slaughter pigs, and no store-bought scrapple (or sausage, or bacon, or pork chops for that matter) will ever be as good as "home-made".

MintHillSkinsFan Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 I know I'll catch hell for it on this board(especially if Xameil sees this) but Scrapple >>>> Bacon! It's what God has for breakfast. I could eat a Scrapple, egg and cheese sammich for breakfast every day for the rest of my life and die a happy man. I grew up in Calvert county and old Miss Myrtle down the road used to make scrapple whenever her husband would butcher a hog and to this day I've still never had better.
