I made Scrapple the other day, been making it for nearly 50 years. it’s something we had mostly for breakfast but good any meal. Serve it with gravy, between a biscuit, with syrup, butter and salt, with jam, spice it up or eat it plain. I make it very neutral and add seasonings on how I want it that day. Sometimes fry with onion powder, cajun seasonings or served with old fashioned sweet chili sauce (tomato relish). Pennsylvania Dutch used to call this “pan rabbit.” It was made from scraps of meat mixed with corn meal mush. Super easy to make. Sometimes I use pork shoulder I had on the smoker, can be made with sausage if you like. Country pork ribs were on sale for 69 cents a pound so I bought a few packages and made plenty of Scrapple to freeze for later.
Uncle Dave’s Pork Scrapple Prepare the mixture at night so it has time to chill overnight, then fry it up when you’re ready for it in the morning. 2 pounds cooked pork loin, country rib or pork shoulder chopped or shredded 2 cups cornmeal 5 cups broth (I use broth from boiling pork) 1 teaspoon dried thyme 1 teaspoon sage 4 teaspoons salt In a large saucepan combine cornmeal, broth, thyme and salt. Bring to a boil, stirring often. As it thickens add chopped pork.
Reduce heat and simmer about 5 minutes or until mixture is very thick, stirring frequently. This happens QUICKLY don’t walk away. Line a 8 x 8 x 3-inch baking pan or a 9 x 5 x 4-inch loaf pan with waxed paper or foil, letting paper extend 3-4 inches above top of pan. Spoon pork mixture into pan. Cover and chill in the refrigerator 4 hours or overnight.
Slice as thick as you like it. Fry both sides in hot oil, this pork scrapple will come out crispy on the outside.

I’m a scrapple lovin’ fool. This looks like a really uptown version.
I love it fried up with maple syrup.

I thought it was a really poorly decorated cake. Never had scrapple, know I would like it.

My favorite joke: Everyone Knows Dave Dave was bragging to his boss one day, “You know, I know everyone there is to know. Just name someone, anyone, and I know them.”
Tired of his boasting, his boss called his bluff, “OK, Dave, how about Tom Cruise?”
“No dramas boss, Tom and I are old friends, and I can prove it.” So Dave and his boss fly out to Hollywood and knock on Tom Cruise’s door, and Tom Cruise shouts,
“Dave! What’s happening? Great to see you! Come on in for a beer!”
Although impressed, Dave’s boss is still skeptical. After they leave Cruise’s house, he tells Dave that he thinks him knowing Cruise was just lucky.
“No, no, just name anyone else,” Dave says.
“President Obama,” his boss quickly retorts.
“Yup,” Dave says, “Old buddies, let’s fly out to Washington,” and off they go.
At the White House, Obama spots Dave on the tour and motions him and his boss over, saying, “Dave, what a surprise, I was just on my way to a meeting, but you and your friend come on in and let’s have a beer first and catch up.”
Well, the boss is very shaken by now but still not totally convinced. After they leave the White House grounds he expresses his doubts to Dave, who again implores him to name anyone else.
“Pope Francis,” his boss replies.
“Sure!” says Dave. “I’ve known the Pope for years.” So off they fly to Rome.
Dave and his boss are assembled with the masses at the Vatican’s St. Peter’s Square when Dave says, “This will never work. I can’t catch the Pope’s eye among all these people. Tell you what, I know all the guards so let me just go upstairs and I’ll come out on the balcony with the Pope.” He disappears into the crowd headed towards the Vatican.
Sure enough, half an hour later Dave emerges with the Pope on the balcony, but by the time Dave returns, he finds that his boss has had a heart attack and is surrounded by paramedics.
Making his way to his boss’ side, Dave asks him, “What happened?”
His boss looks up and says, “It was the final straw… you and the Pope came out on to the balcony and the man next to me said, ‘Who the fuck is that on the balcony with Dave?’
