my husband will be thrilled. I've never had scrapple myself, but have heard east coast vegans talk about it like it was green chile.
I've never had it, but I like the fact that it beat seven other pork scrapples at the festival. ;)b

Same
For those of us who don't know what scrapple is:
"Scrapple is typically made of hog offal, such as the head, heart, liver, and other scraps, which are boiled with any bones attached (often the entire head), to make a broth. Once cooked, bones and fat are discarded, the meat is reserved, and (dry) cornmeal is boiled in the broth to make a mush. The meat, finely minced, is returned, and seasonings, typically sage, thyme, savory, and others are added. The mush is cast into loaves and allowed to cool thoroughly until gelled. The proportions and seasoning are very much a matter of the region and the cook's taste."

Yyyyeah.

This daughter of a Philly boy agrees! I used to like scrapple, even knowing full well what it was.
ugh. Scrapple is one of the nastiest foods out there. I would be tempted to make the vegan version only to trick some scrapple loving omnis I know.
For those in the UK & Ireland, it's very similar to blood pudding.
yuck. my friends tricked me into eating this once in 8th grade and it was awful. it certainly was popular in my hometown. eastern PA area.

My husband says he gimmelean sausage tube thingy reminds him of scrapple. Must have the same spices...
Where I grew up, they called it "head cheese." Being a kid, I thought "head cheese" must be like "toe jam" and thought they meant snot. Needless to say I never tried it.

I thought headcheese was cold, jello-like, coagulated pig fat with chopped up bits of random meat and vinegar? To be eaten with crackers.
I use to love scrapple when i was a kid, but only when my dad burnt it a crisp. (He's from Mississippi, pure country boy). I remember it tasting kind of funky otherwise. Doesnt this crap sound appetizing? I might have to check this stuff out :-)
Oh man, I grew up eating scrapple (central PA). I knew it had all kinds of crazy stuff in it, but I loved it anyway. Can't wait to try a vegan version :)
