Scrapple in the Villages

[livsea2]

Okay I thought I'd post a "fun" topic. Is there any place in or near the Villages where scrapple can be purchased? I know of a market near the gulf coast where I can buy it but I'm looking for someplace closer. lol:icon_hungry:

Mom and Pop store with full line of beef, pork and poultry, plus gator, rabbit, frog legs, etc. Meats cut to order..very nice, friendly, well-informed folks, Joe and wife Charlie Bonaccorso.
I'm excited to find a lower price on most meats and frozen fish, and especially that I can feed my pets real food for less. Meats also available in bulk, as well as frozen vegetables.

Located just S of 466A on east side of 301, Wildwood, (330 S. Main).
Phone 352-748-2355. Open M-Sat 8 a.m.-6 p.m.
Ya'll go get yourself something to cook, and don't forget something yummy for Fido and Fifi.

I get Habbersett scrapple in Publix's frozen foods.

If your computer is in TV then you can get it on Amazon delivered to your door.

I looked in the Publix on 466A didn't see any but I'm sure they don't display it like up north. I will have to look harder! lol Thanks guys!

You can't freeze scrapple it gets all grainy and yucky. I tried when I bought a huge block at BJs and tried to freeze smaller packages for future use. Freezing ruined it. Are you sure it isn't just in a cold case with the rest of the breakfast meats like bacon and sausage. I sure hope you are mistaken!

I am sure you mean tastykake products. No my wife might though. What I would want is a good soft pretzel. Maybe they will build a Wawa in the Villages. There's one in Orlando and in Lake Buena Vista so maybe next the Villages and bring in REAL soft pretzels not the ones you get in Florida now LOL:icon_hungry:

I got it there but can't remember exactly where it was. Definitely in the frozen food section. Not nearly as good as Nell's back home near Lancaster Pa but it was scrapple at least. It has to be all eaten in 1 week after thawed and that was a problem for the 2 of us.
I brought a lot back down from Gettysburg Pa in May and sliced and froze it. Yum! (with King Syrup and toast of course!)
Think we will have some tomorrow for breakfast!

Ours from Pa is fine when frozen.
I have frozen and eaten it for many years.
The stuff from Publix was not grainy but not as good as the stuff from Pa.

I'm a Philly girl who has lived in Texas this past year. My mouth is watering while I read these. I love scrapple!!. The movers are packing us up today and we will be in our new TV house on Friday....scrapple (Habbersett no less!)in The Villages?!!!! It really is the perfect place to live!! :pepper2:

[borjo]

My husband thinks he remembers getting scrapple at the Fruitland Park Cafe on 441 on west side, north of 466A We're scrapple lovers too from PA.
My mistake, not there .........

[jerseyvillager]

Get mine at Publixs. You just need to cut the slices a little thicker than normal and it won't crumble. I have had several clerks ask what it was. I tell them they don't know what they are missing.

[T-325]

Sounds like a spicy corn bread..must be tasty as so many like it (or is an aquired taste?)


Scrapple, also known by the Pennsylvania Dutch name pon haus, is traditionally a mush of pork scraps and trimmings combined with cornmeal and wheat flour, often buckwheat flour, and spices.

I find it at the Publix on 466 (Southern Trace Plaza) in the low, open freezer cases near the left, rear of the store. I'll bet it's in the same place in the Publix on 466A (Colony Plaza).

love scrapple ~ always would slice it and freeze it without problem. Good old fashioned PA scrapple must be different then other places. As a previous poster said, perfect with KING syrup!!! YUMMMMMM : )

[Golfingnut]

I have always loved souse with mayo and hot sauce.

[billlaur]

TOYS R US MIGHT HAVE IT..:crap2:

[livsea2]

Well I will have to try slicing the scrapple before I freeze it. As I said I tried freezing it before when I bought a large block of it but it became grainy and had a terrible texture after I thawed it out. I know some people put syrup on their scrapple (yuck!) but I only use the correct condiment...ketchup! LOL
:a20:

[jerseyvillager]

Difficult to slice before freezing because it comes frozen - hard as rock. I defrost it, slice it a little thicker than I would like - but not too thick. Dip in flour. Fry it all up and then refrigerate what we don't eat at the first sitting.

Ketchup for me.

[borjo]

I've never eaten scrapple without APPLE BUTTER on it!

[samhass]

I love scrapple..with just a little salt if needed.

[amybelles]

My husband is very glad we will be able to find scrapple in TV. Never knew it could be frozen, but it's worth trying! We use catsup, too.
