Scrapple, also known by the
Pennsylvania Dutch name panhaas or "pan rabbit," 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.
The terms
mush and
scraps and
trimmings,
congealed and
pan-fried (presumably in Crisco or lard) all point to something less than appetizing. Unless maybe you grew up eating it. But I'll stick with heart-healthy cheese.
