National Scrapple Day

[angus]

Today is National Scrapple Day.  A scrapple, or panhaas as it is known in southeastern Pennsylvania, is a boiled and baked pudding of pork bits combined with cornmeal. 

Read about it here.  Ja, sehr gutes Essen!

It's f[inks]ing horrible.......ugh.

Option 1, although hot with ketchup is okay. Cold would probably be nasty.

It's hard to find up here in restaurants, in fact I never see it. But they have it everywhere in DE and MD as a meat substitute served with breakfast. It varies. If the emphasis is more on cornmeal when it's made than the other stuff, I tend to really like it.

C'mon, friend, you run scrapple through those pristine veggie lined veins of yours?  Never!

I've been known to cheat a little at breakfast.

You know what I had at the beach a couple moths ago for breakfast before hitting the boardwalk and the waves? A "Norway Benny." That's eggs benedict with smoked salmon. Oh God. I said, I have to try that. It didn't disappoint.

haha.  I hadn't heard of them till we moved to Pennsylvania.  Saw some in the freezer aisle a couple of years ago and figured we'd give it a try.  We bought a 14-ounce frozen scrapple and heated it in the toaster oven.  I had mine with copious amounts of Cholula's chipotle sauce and some cilantro.  Not bad, but I probably wouldn't buy it again.  Recently I learned that you're supposed to put marmelade, syrup, or apple butter on it.

Today, when I clicked on the link for the local newspaper I saw that it was national scrapple day.  My guess is that outside a 100-mile radius of Lancaster, no one has ever heard of it.

Scrapple is mucho popular on Cracker Barrel's menu, at least in PA.  Ugh.
