Scrapple  (Yummmmmmm) ok, best way to describe it:

Scrapple is a combination of pork parts, seasonings and fillers...  it is shaped like a loaf...  and its texture I guess could be described as a cross between a meatloaf and a pate...

you slice it...  thick or thin, which ever your preference...  and you pan fry it using your choice of lard, oil, shortening or butter I guess...  I normally fry it with a pam spray...  and now with coconut oil... anyway...  you want the outsides to cook nice and crispy, while leaving the center just right...  not crisped...and not  to lose...  but some prefer it burnt up or soupy (Yuk)

It goes great with eggs, grits, bacon, sausage, pancakes, ketchup...  I have fried it up before and blended it in with grits...  mmmmmm....  you name it...  it goes with it...  make a sandwich with it...  eat it like a piece of burnt toast, or soft like oatmeal...  which ever is your preference...

AND IT IS GOOD!!!!!!

I knew there had to be an homage to scrapple web site.  ;D

La Casa de Scrapple

Inside I found the answer:
"Scrapple is a processed meat product composed of cuts and pieces of meat which -- for one reason or another -- will not make meals in themselves.  The bulk of these come to us courtesy of the face, head, and chest cavity of the common hog."

The syrup with bacon thing...

They sell the most lush bits of cut up bacon, little cubes of it. The other day I fried them up and put them in with my Bisquick batter and made bacon pancakes. Served my husband up a plate and he did the butter and syrup thing (I had to teach him this and he's done very well with it).

But I forgot to mention the pancakes had bacon bits inside.  :-/

I love bacon and syrup together! I don't know the big deal...especially from someone who eats marmite, blue cheese, smoked herring, tarmasalata and roll mops.

They're about the size of your pinkie finger - and no offence taken.  I don't honestly know what he looks like when he eats them - I refuse to look!   :-X

[smiley=laugh.gif] I don't blame you. Then again I guess a lot of people would consider my eating raw oysters (yum) disgusting too. :P

Eww..you're gross ;D hehe..just kidding. I ate escargot once and it wasn't bad. It reminded me of mushrooms sauteed in garlic butter and wine (yum) but I decided I'll stick to eating the mushrooms. :P
