I'm displaced from Maryland down hear to Savannah Georgia. Folks down here don't know about scrapple. I miss it bad. I did have my Aunt send me down some Taylor's Ham for my birthday. Fried Taylors on white bread with a little mustard is slap your momma good!
 
Man...Think I'll stop by the meat store and get a link of boudoin for breakfast this morning.....Offal at it's finest ;)
 
Anyone care to save me a Google and enlighten a poor midwesterner as to aforementioned "Scrapple" ???

I got misplaced farther south then you from Maryland to Florida. I never was too hot on the scrapple, but I sure miss the Taylor's Pork Roll for breakfast and sammiches.:D
 
I learned to love scrapple from my dad, who cooked up batches of it from time to time. He learned how to do that from his Kentucky forbears.

Sunny side up eggs and lots of scrapple seasoned with plenty of garlic salt and black pepper! Absolutely nothing finer for breakfast...

Here's a recipe pretty close to the way my dad made it:

Ingredients:


Preparation:

Cook back bones in boiling water until the meat can be pulled off the bones with a fork and minced up. Gradually add meal, flour and seasonings to the back bone mixture. Slowly cook, stirring in dry mixture until thick. Pack mixture in a loaf pan and cool. Store in refrigerator.

When ready, cut slabs from the mixture about the size of a deck of cards and fry in oil. Serve with salt, garlic salt, and/or pepper at the ready and season to taste. Enjoy!

A Pennsylvania Dutch delicacy. Sometimes called 'pig mush'. It's all the stuff left over from a pig that wasn't good enough for hot dogs. Everything but the 'squeal'. It's ground fine , mixed with corn meal and baked into loaves till it gels and binds. Slice it up and fry it in butter till crispy. Yum-yum!

Ya gotta read what Wiki has to say! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrapple

I bet I would have liked it had I not asked too many questions....
 
Smells like spice and tastes like liver. Grandma Sands used to fry it in the cast iron skilett over the wood/coal stove and serve it to us with maple syrup so we'd eat it. Now a great memory taste to a time back then.............
 
I grew up in the Maryland suburbs of Washington, D.C. Have always eaten scrapple. Thought every one did. Try a scrapple, egg, and cheese sandwich on whole wheat with lettuce, tomato, and mayo some time. I recommend it highly.

Seeing that I'm from South Jersey and a Pork Roll and Scrapple eater from way back. Now I'm living in Florida and very seldom see either for sale in the markets and most times the Scrapple is frozen.

My favorite for breakfast was scrambled egg and scrapple on toast. Lunch would be American cheese pork roll on a hard roll with a bit of Gulden's hot mustard. One cannot even get a good hard roll in Florida, but I'm not going back to Jersey, ever.

If ya think Southerners find scrapple unappealing , you'd be surprised how many locals/ PA Yankees have a hard time with biscuits and gravy.
