Does Anyone Eat Scrapple?

[Nightwolf]

I live in PA Dutch country, but I've never been able to bring myself to eat scrapple. Even if I didn't know what was in it, it doesn't even look good. :x

I have eaten lamb's tongue in a bar already though. Of course I was drunk off my ass at the time.

Well, it really is PA. Dutch Country. I'm sure you've seen pics of the Amish and their horse-drawn carridges that live in that area of Pennsylvania near Lancaster.
Remember the movie "Witness" with Harrison Ford a few years back?

Pennsylvania Dutch Country

A bit of Information:
The people known as the Pennsylvania Dutch are not Dutch, but are of German and German speaking heritage, They are the descendants of the early german speaking settlers of the inland counties of Pennsylvania who arrived in Pennsylvania prior to the War of 1812.

never tried/heard of scrapple 'til now

but bigboab mentioned the tripe from a cow (intestines)
cook that up for a big pot of menudo, and you got
your certified best hangover cure
(dont know why, but it really knocks your hangover's d*ck in the dirt)
i used to think that stuff was gross when i was younger,
then i started gettin sh*t faced and had to have a cure the next morning
hell, age does wonders for opening up your mind,
maybe i'll look for some scrapple
after all, thats all hotdogs (franks) and sausages are, is leftovers
(lips and a$$holes )

btw, how the hell do you cook/prepare scrapple?

Not where I am.

Decidedly sub-rural, though not, I understand, in a way that approaches that experienced by my colleague MagicNakor.

Scrapple is fated to be a once-every-couple-years treat for me.

And for that you can be grateful. Although I'll worry about your health if your grateful for eating pig brains...

Thank you mrlessk, I couldn&#39;t have said it better myself. Only I live in Berks, not Lancaster County. And no, I&#39;m not Amish.

Hi Nightwolf and thanks for your comment.
Actually it never occurred to me even for a moment that you might have been Amish. For one reason, I don&#39;t believe culturally they have accepted modern conveniences, including the computer, since they stress separation from the world. Another is electricity....this the Amish consider a "connection" to the world and hence reject that as well.
I know that if a new gadget does not assist in keeping their lives simple and their families together, they probably will reject it. It&#39;s why they still use the horse-drawn carriage as their main mode of transportation.
Ah, well&#33; Live and let live.

I was simply reacting to the above quote by bigboab and felt an obligation to set the record straight regarding any misconceptions about my home state of Pennsylvania or even the Pennsylvania Dutch (no, I am not... ).
LOL...I think I need to have more self-control when it comes to feeling these urges and obligations in these Forums but if there is a "blank" to be filled in and if I can do that I might just take it upon myself to jump right in. Don&#39;t forget, this all started with Mïcrösöül°V³&#39;s very brave and daring thread about, of all things "Scrapple" and my comment to him:

"Mïcrösöül°V³, you are a brave soul....you realize of course that you are setting yourself up for ridicule and verbal abuse (I guess I&#39;m included now) once others check out the ingredients...LOL"

Well, it all came to pass. Anyway, aren&#39;t these Forums supposed to be instructive, informative as well as entertaining? Indeed, I believe that there are now some individuals slightly more knowledgeable about important things like....Scrapple?....where it comes from and what it&#39;s made of. Who would have thunk it? Two pages and almost 30 replies about, of all things.....Scrapple&#33;....gotta love it&#33;
Regards,

For a couple years they actually had an event called Scrapplefest in Philly,but I don&#39;t think they do it anymore.
