Any leads to help me find this yummy treat from philly? Tue Feb 17 21:01:28 -0800 2009 267784 scrappledonkey 1 4427476 Call Huntigton Meats in The Farmers Market (3rd & Fairfax), I know they carry Taylor Ham and I think they have scrapple but call first. Sorry, you will have to cook it on your own.

Sort of like going to PF Chang's for dim sum. Tue Feb 17 22:03:30 -0800 2009 4427399 11583 ipsedixit 2 4427510 Doughboys, sadly, isn't around anymore...

Ralph's on Colorado in Old Town Pasadena carries Jones' brand scrapple. Not every Ralph's carries it from my experience. Call ahead.

Not being able to get to PA, however, it is a decent substitute. Sat Feb 21 12:54:33 -0800 2009 4438063 12033 Hughlipton 3 4439493 What is offals? TIA Sat Feb 21 13:01:42 -0800 2009 4439471 11279 Burger Boy 3 4440115 Offal is the fahncy name for innards/organ meats. I think proper scrapple is more like a combo of cornmeal mush and headcheese, or at least that's what I've been told. Other problem with Jones is that it's very fatty, and kinda light on actual meat. Beats the heck out of NO scrapple, though. Maybe it's time to learn how to make it... I don't mind the lack of innards too much, though I'd certainly want some in there if I were doing it from scratch. Sad that all the scrapple providers up and disappeared. Was this a conspiracy of some kind, ya reckon?

Further, it's not like you can really taste the offals it's more of a texture thing. Fri Mar 20 18:20:39 -0700 2009 4440115 12033 Hughlipton 1 4524405 Somewhere around here I have my great grandmother's scrapple recipe that she gave me in the late '40s. She was born in TN in the 1860s but her parents were from PA. I can look it up and stroke it in if folks are interested. Fri Mar 20 21:29:14 -0700 2009 4427399 245807 OnkleWillie 2 4524983 Yes. By all means. It would be fun to take a crack at making the real homade thing. Sat Mar 21 08:13:50 -0700 2009 4524405 12033 Hughlipton 2 4526335 Here is my great grandmother's recipe. I haven't made it in quite a while. Its too easy to drive a few blocks up to our local Safeway clone and pick some up.

My dad (from rural Pennsylvania) loves it. I really have a hard time swallowing the stuff. Fri Mar 20 22:37:59 -0700 2009 4427399 190440 grubtrotters
