What would a Philly blog be without mention of scrapple?
Scrapple is not an acquired taste. It is a, when cooked correctly, love-at-first-taste taste. Cooking correctly merely entails higher temperature in the frying pan, deep frying or even broiling, in order to crisp it. Formula ingredients may differ, just as hot dog formulas differ, but if you see Dietz & Watson's don't pass it by.
The Scrapple Wikipedia entry (grain of salt) seems about right, but how can it be "arguably the first pork food invented in America" and then be traced back to pre-Roman Europe and the German panhas?
I did the scrapple Google search so you don't have to.
And there's no indication I've found yet that the word scrapple is actually a Pennsylvania Dutch colloquialism for the question "What the heck do we with the rest of the pig after we make sausage, ribs and bacon.."
