Scrapple is a SE Pa thing. Dad was from there so he’d get some when down that way. He moved to NW Pa where I grew up and nobody ate it or knew what it was unless from there. He’d get some from somewhere once in a while and mom wouldn’t even be in the kitchen when he fried it for breakfast. Thanks for the memories. RIP dad.

I was always led believe and maybe wrongly it was a whole eastern PA thing as well as some parts of NJ taking shots at making it. So from Lancaster to Bloomsburg all the way east you'd know about it. I don't remember it smelling when cooking though.

I would eat any of them, but the darker the better. Top them with jalapeno mustard.

#4 plz
Ketchup, onion and Sweet pickle relish plz.
Mustard and dill pickles are vile.

 

[Dave Hess]

The one with cheese and jalapeño.

As I understand it, scrapple came from the Amish so knowing that there are communities in several states i.e. Pennsylvania, Ohio, Maryland etc. I’m surprised that scrapple is not more widespread.

Apart from a few other places, The Local Butcher
here in Berkeley carries it:

I wonder about the difference between "Butcher's hash" and "West Coast Scrapple"? Other than the price difference.

Pa. Scrapple is largely a thing for the greater Pa
German, aka "Pa. Dutch" areas. That would include most of greater southeastern Pa. and also a lot of central and south central Pa. For whatever reason, Phila. has always had a scrapple following as well.

Fun tale. About 35-40 years ago an elderly neighbor did a trip to Portugal. A scooter riding thief grabbed her handbag containing her passport. She went to the US embassy/ consulate to get an emergency replacement. After noting her address of record, she said that the test question asked was " what is scrapple?" I told her that she should have replied, #"&#@" sel ist panhaus.

Also a Delaware thing. They even have a scrapple festival.

We have Tony Pacos and Skyline here in Ohio. Both are a love it or hate it experience. My kids got me an Omaha steak burger bundle for my birthday a few months ago and I have to say, they produce a pretty powerful dog. Their steaks are a joke but I’d take the burgers and dogs any day. Tonight I’m grilling hot dogs and locally made chili cheese brats from Pettisville meats. We’re having a grad party July 5th for my youngest before he ships out for the navy. I’m doing a county fair style cookout with a fair fries trailer.

I just finished eating a number 7 leftovers from last night.

I also like the deep fried variety which are common in Northern Nj. My wife put on this place Hot Dog Johnny’s in Buttzville, NJ when we first started dating, it’s a few minutes from where she grew up. Really good fries too. Ketchup, Mustard, and a Pickle on mine
