Anything like scrapple?


My understanding is that scrapple is more of a result of a recipe, and the meat portion of the recipe might be...questionable. A guy can boil a pig head and recover the protein and follow a recipe for scrapple, or can the stuff for potted meat.


Forgive me my nonsense, as I also forgive the nonsense of those that think they talk sense.
