    Best decision you made all day, don't eat the scrapple! And yes it really is as bad as it looks it also stinks to high heaven when it's cooking. :)

    Okay so far as I know, they take every inedible part of the subject food including offal, and finely chop the heads, tongues, lips, whatever they don't have to throw out, into fine particles and mix match cherry picked spices to mask the odor and taste.
    Yucko confirmed upon further investigation!
    Scrapple is typically made of hog offal, such as the head, heart, liver, and other trimmings, which are boiled with any bones attached (often the entire head), to make a broth. Once cooked, bones and fat are removed, the meat is reserved, and (dry) cornmeal is boiled in the broth to make a mush.
    Scrapple, also known by the Pennsylvania Dutch name Pannhaas or "pan rabbit",[1][2] is traditionally a mush of pork scraps and trimmings combined with cornmeal and wheat flour, often buckwheat flour, and spices. The mush is formed into a semi-solid congealed loaf, and slices of the scrapple are then pan-fried before serving. Scraps of meat left over from butchering, not used or sold elsewhere, were made into scrapple to avoid waste. Scrapple is best known as an American food of the Mid-Atlantic states (DelawareMarylandNew JerseyPennsylvania, and Virginia). It is also a traditional food of Boston and Maine.

    I know a Pole who was 6 ft. 8 inches. He wouldn't touch it either.

    To make a long story short I consume less fried foods now than I did years ago.

    Decreased, but now and then I still get a hankering for a breaded veal cutlet Parmesian, fried chicken wings, fried onions and such, but I haven't had any of that in a really long time.

    I rarely eat them anymore. I lost my taste for them when I began eating healthier.

    I don't eat fried foods in an regular way.  I have fried shrimp about twice a year and fried okra less often than that.  Those are prepared and eaten away from home.  No frying in my house.  That rule started in 1985.  I put my foot down and said:  NO MORE,  GO OUT TO EAT IF YOU WANT GREASE. 

    I do have an electric skillet that I've used a couple times outside when the fishermen come back with pride in their little catch. This post was edited by Thriftymaid at May 16, 2021 4:16 PM MDT
