Scrapple

No, this entry has nothing to do with Habbersett or Rapa Brand Scrapple. It has to do with a recipe for the delicious and enduring breakfast or sandwich treat. A treat that we can not get in Idaho, we have to import from Philadelphia or the immediate Philadelphia area. IO grew up with this for breakfast with scrambled eggs. I like it thin sliced and fried to a golden brown. In Philadelphia, you will get it thick sliced and as a sandwich. Anyway, here is a recipe on how to make this. Remember - It is using all the left-over parts of the hog after slaughtering. The key words are: all the left-over parts.
