Basically, it is seasoned,finely chopped Hog scraps-Snout, guts trimmings, floor sweepings - you name it.
Otherwise known as "Philadelphia Scrapple"..
It' mostly an eastern thing for Folks who cannot afford decent Sausage meat.
If "Soilent Green" were real, it would probably taste like Scrapple.
so basically like the old style sausage......cool will have to try it if i run across it.....
There is another component to it- cornmeal and or buckwheat flour etc. it's sort of an Amish thing.
It gives it sort of a gritty texture and makes the seasoning a bit funky. It's also very salty. Crispy fried in a thin patty smothered with Heinz ketchup- it does not suck.
My father loves the stuff and when we were kids, he and us boys used to blow through about a brick of the stuff at breakfast on a cold morning. We used to gross out my sister. We had her believing that gritty texture was the ground up Hog bones...
All those little piggies thrown whole into the meat grinder...
Squeeling.
