Like I said, I lived in PA for 13 years, and managed to avoid this.

Scrapple?

While i love good scrapple, have had some truly nasty scrapple. Originally it was made from pork scraps of various sorts. Once the maker took that too literally, and could see the not so ground up pork snouts in it.
Another time went to Mennonite farm store to purchase it. The young girl at counter did not know what it was, but her mother retrieved some from the freezer. No flavoring and cooking it left over 1/4 inch fat in the pan. Had to repeatedly drain it, then lay it down on paper towels.
Good scrapple has enough fat in it so you should not need to add any additional fat to cook it, while most of the fat content is cooked out of it.
This requires patience to let one side cook until it crisps up and holds the slice together to flip it. Preferably cooked in well seasoned cast iron pan.
