Today's Reason to Celebrate

November 9, 2010 is

National Scrapple Day

Did you know that scrapple is arguably the first pork food invented in America? It was first created more than 200 years ago by Dutch colonists who settled near Philadelphia. It is similar in composition and taste to the white pudding of Ireland and Hog's pudding of the West Country in England.

Scrapple got its name because it is composed of "scraps" of pork combined with cornmeal and spices. The mixture is formed into a mostly solid loaf, and then it is sliced and panfried before serving. It is typically eaten for breakfast, topped with syrup or ketchup. Some regions of the United States like New England often mix scrapple in with scrambled eggs. Enjoy National Scrapple Day!
