Scrapple

[Rotty]

anyone ever had any of this stuff?

was in Philadelphia a couple of weeks ago and a bar owner told me about it, a couple of days later he brought some in and cooked it for us, he said "don't ask how it's made just try it" I did and it's lovely, tastes like a smooth spiced sausage meat

I must say I am glad I tried it before looking what it was

It's spiced for a reason, now you know why.

 

[Rotty]

indeed

 

[DirtyJester]

I'm sure we've all eaten something just as bad, without the spice...

he said "don't ask how it's made just try it"

Sure sign that it's something you don't really want to eat. I think I'd have ducked out at that point.

Fussy eater.

I don't even see whats wrong with this scrapple, it sounds good actually.

I prefer the term discerning.

The description doesn't make it sound the most appetising thing in the world but it's certainly not as horrible-sounding as tons of other food out there.

That's basically haggis made from pig instead of lamb and with cornmeal instead of barley/oatmeal. having worked in a butcher shop, I can assure you there is a lot worse goes into some sausage type products

Sounds like spam to me!

Before supermarkets had most of their meat sent pre-packed from a distribution centre the stuff they put in to anything that required mincing would make your stomach turn.

That's the kind of attitude that brings up kids to live on chicken nuggets and chips.

It doesnt sound disgusting, haggis, faggots and many other dishes are simiilar.
Sounds nice, never had it though.

I can imagine

Nothing wrong with a bit of offal! Nom nom nom.

 

[The_Abyss]

Sounds quite tasty - probably far from the unhealthiest combination, with all the fat removed.

Doesn't sound bad at all to me. I'd certainly try it

Mind you, I love haggis and black pudding, so maybe that helps me get into the right mind set

 

[J-FRO]

Looks like it'd be quite good with a fry up. Slice of this, couple of black pudding, maybe white pudding.....gaaawd this is sounding good.

Or lobster and caviar.

I heard of this when I watched a program about these morbidly obese people. They eat it because it's cheap but this woman was on dialysis etc and didn't eat well either. This was southern USA.
