Proper Sawyer's Breakfast?

[Roxie]

Cfarm, I know you like to travel to PA Amish country, so the next time you are in the area, order scrapple for breakfast or you could stop by my place and we'll send you home with a brick. 

[BBTom]

If they took the corn that made the grits and make some mush with it, then fry it in a pan w/a dab of butter.  They would make me happy.  Maybe just let the grits solidify and fry them.

I guess I missed that when I was there. But the brick part does not sound too good.  ???  I'm a real fussy type of guy when it comes to eating. And than some.

I thought Magicman posted pictures of fried grits?   :   I'd almost rather see the toes picture.

It aint breakfast without a couple thick pieces of scrapple, grilled nice and crisp on the outside.... with ketchup.  digin1

Scrapple??????   What is that?? Some sort of meat??

Meat pudding. (The stuff that didn't become ham, pork or bacon).

SCRAPPLE

Thanks Magicman!  What those instructions don't tell you is that you must put the slices in a frying pan on medium heat and cook for ten minutes on the first side before you flip it.  Then cook it another 10 minutes.  If you don't fry it properly, the whole thing falls apart.

My dad was stationed down South before WWII. Somebody sent him a care package with scrapple. He took it to the mess hall and gave it to the cook and asked him to cook it. The cook put it in a pot, poured milk over it and mashed it up......

I like yellow grit bread with butter and maple syrup for breakfast. Looks like schrapnel is a Pensy version of hagus without the wrapper,tried it years ago a little too rich for me. Frank C.

From Wikepedia:

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 discarded, the meat is reserved, and (dry) cornmeal is boiled in the broth to make a mush. The meat, finely minced, is returned to the pot and seasonings, typically sage, thyme, savory, black pepper, and others are added.[2][3] The mush is formed into loaves and allowed to cool thoroughly until set. The proportions and seasoning are very much a matter of the region and the cook's taste.[4]

I did not realize it, but some scrapple has grits in it  :D.

WDH - T.M.I. Not that I was going to eat any scrapple anyway.

Why not, it has everything else in there, so what can a little grits hurt. ??   ;D

SCRAPPLE, aka Sussex county steak--- breakfast of champions---everything but the squeal.

[schakey]

Once going from Carlisle,Pa to Buffalo,NY stopped at a small restaurant on Pa 11/15 and they had a special on a scrapple breakfast.
Ask what is scrapple and was told if I didn't have a taste for it not to try it so I didn't  ;D.

[thecfarm]

Scrapple,kinda sounds like mincemeat,everything but the kitchen sink, And no grits either.  :  My Grandmother use to make mincemeat. A lot would rave about it. She would give them the recipe and they would make it. Than they would say it did not taste like hers. She used a few ingredients that had to be special brought. Most people would not have it on hand. She would ask them about the certain ingredients and they would say,Oh I did not have that and that ,so I just put something else in.  :

Mudhog, welcome to the forum. It's good to have another forum member from the first state.

[terrifictimbersllc]

Here is the suggested proper breakfast.  Clockwise from 3:00, we have grits with butter, cheesy grits with butter, 2 sausage patties, 2 biscuits, 2 strips of bacon over scrambled eggs, and (not shown) sweet tea and coffee.  Optional was gravy over the biscuits and everything else.  Your input is appreciated.


 

Not suggesting anyone has hijacked the thread, quite the opposite.  But we have gone from a proper breakfast, to something quite else altogether, with this talk about scrapple.   :  And to think sausage has a bad name.  Hog offal?  :

[Dave Shepard]

Well, nobody else is saying it so I will. Oatmeal. There, it's been said. :D With maple syrup and brown sugar. Add eggs, toast and orange juice. 8)

Welcome to the Forestry Forum,    mudhog.  Now how about an intro and telling us about your sawing/timber/woodworking interest.

Ok, I'll go for that...if you'll add a nice ham steak, maybe a couple of hot sausage patty's, some gravy to cover up everything but the oatmeal and orange juice, and oh yeah coffee.

scrapple is tasty, but not quite as tasty as its close cousin...Head Cheese.
