The Starlight in Philly

April 19, 2008


Here’s something you don’t see everyday.  What looks to be an omelet is actually a Scrapple sandwich, with a side of hash browns, bacon, and eggs.  Barry reports the cost was $4.55, but that probably doesn’t include the side of bacon and eggs. The side of Scrapple alone was $1.50.

Here is what Wikipedia has to say:

Scrapple is a savory mush of pork scraps and trimmings combined with cornmeal and flour, often buckwheat flour. The mush is formed into a loaf, and slices of the scrapple are then fried before serving. Scraps of meat left over from butchering, too small to be used or sold elsewhere, were made into scrapple to avoid waste. Scrapple is best known as a regional food of Delaware, South Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Maryland.
