Fried Scrapple - Delectable or Detestable

[Kilgore]

A recent discussion on fried mush got me thinking.



I make my scrapple at home from scratch. A few pieces fried along with the mush, an egg, and a buttered biscuit is hard to beat.

Its whats for breakfast tomorrow morning.

2. Mush? Scrapple?

[Kilgore]

13. Both are good eats

Scrapple is ground up pork parts, spices and cornmeal thats boiled and poured into molds to chill and harden. Its sliced and fried. I make mine from home made pork sausage with lots of sage.

Mush is the same without the pork and less spices. In my opinion its best fried together with the scrapple providing the grease.

Great when served with an over easy egg, biscuits and black coffee.

I stopped eating meat in 1986, but I had never heard of these things.

31. So...could you think of scrapple as "rustic spam"?

Nothing wrong with spam on occasion!

3. Scrapple - yum

When I worked in PA - I always made sure to fill up a cooler with the local "good stuff" to bring home and share with my PA expats.

14. Its easy to make at home

Here is a link to the recipe I use,

Its better if you use about half again as much sausage and chop it finer in a food processor. Also a bit more sage.

I make a bunch and vac pack it for use later.

15. Too late, but maybe next weekend!

5. It's pork, what's not like?

Its cheap eats, some recipes are made from leftovers or cheap cuts of pork, some call for organ meats, but I skip those. I like lots of little tasty bits (try Apple Scrapple!), onions or veggies, and the more spices the better.

6. Up next: Goetta?

Regional variation on the theme, wilt steel-cut oats as the starchy component, local to Cincinnati

I've also made goetta, which is its cousin, except it uses oats instead of cornmeal.
