8. My brother coates his in flour first and.............

10. I saw that word for the first time in the Philly airport

we asked what it was and got the "chopped up pork stuff"

As we were leaving, the guy next to us asked what it was too...


If it's so good, why doesn't anyone outside of PA know what it is???

:P

[pagerbear]

12. Actually, the South has something similar

...called livermush or liver pudding. And good old fashioned NYC chopped liver is also similar.

[kick-ass-bob]

14. yeah, but that sound like it is liver.

at least scrapple (apparently) has pig ears and stuff

:9

:evilgrin:

[pagerbear]

15. The taste is similar

[Bonhomme Richard]

13. I believe it's a Pennsylvania Dutch thing........... and

it's only recently that cheesesteaks are beginning to show up all over. Same thing with soft pretzells.

[kick-ass-bob]

16. but people have known about them for a while

whether they could get them or not was something else.

Sadly, I didn't try the scrapple when I had a chance...

Of course, it was an airport restaurant, so who knows about the quality - it may have scarred my opinion of scrapple in the future...

[Bonhomme Richard]

17. We actaually made it at home here in CT.

The recipe called for Pork shoulder with corn meal and spices. It was ok but just didn't taste like Habersett scraple.

18. "Jo would you love to scrapple? She'll never say 'no'."

Who knew Steely Dan was singing about a Pennsylvania delicacy?

[RebelOne]

19. When I was a kid in Philadelphia,

my mother cooked it all the time. I loved it. But now that I'm a vegetarian, just the thought of it turns my stomach.

21. I want some.

Know anyone who will ship it to the great Northwest?
