Whiteout For Minny!!

[Conewago]

Love it!! Made it as a kid, on my grandfather's farm. Never called it scrapple...it was pon haus.

Roar! What county was your grandpa's farm in?

I've made "scrapple" on a friend's farm on the York/Adams county line. We always called it scrapple. But I have a friend from Littlestown who calls it "pon haus." Same thing, two different names.

 

[Conewago]

I'd say the same thing about BOTH.

Scrapple is the food of the gods. I'll admit the texture of it cold is weird, but if you slice it thin and cook it on a hot pan, it gets plenty crispy. Taste is like sausage, really, but better.

Plus having actually made it on a butchering job, the ingredients aren't really that bad anyway. Way we did it, we started by cutting up pieces of the skin and then you throw those in the kettle. Those skin pieces separate; what floats to the top is cracklins (which you scoop off) and the rest forms the beginning of scrapple. Later you add some of the organs, jowls, etc, maybe some meat, and then flour and spices, blah blah, cook it for a while, then pour it into pans. Yeah, there's some liver in it - big deal. Grow a pair. haha. The liver and whatnot adds meatiness to it.

There is nothing I miss more about central PA than good scrapple. I can stomach the stuff in the store (e.g. Rapa, Kunzler) but once you've had it off the farm, oh mercy, you can't go back.

The scrapple I know of has more than just "a little liver in it". Haha. Just have to turn the brain off and eat it. Tastes GOOD!

Cael - Quote....The ATMOSPHERE is going to play a MAJOR FACTOR in this match. Calling ALL of Nitt Nation around the Country..WHITE IT OUT and SELL IT OUT with a RECORD BREAKING ATTENDANCE....Yes Cael appears ready to ROCK and Roll....He wants the ENTIRE State of Pa to WHITEOUT and have EVERYTHING stay lit up on Friday...ALL LIGHTS ON...Porches...ect

Yeah.... I'm just gonna put a white t-shirt on. But cool.

Right on. The more liver and scraps, the better. Tastes DANG good.

When my wife sees me eating it, the entire meal is spent with her throwing up in her mouth.

Sounds like she got the better meal.

 

[El-Jefe]

I LOVE it, but it is a texture thing. Tastes like fish flavored snot, seriously.

Jim Harbaugh, is that you?

York/Adams County. I'm from Hanover (a couple miles from Littlestown), and my Grandpa's farm was in Brushtown. Maybe you've heard of McSherrystown, which is a little bigger, and adjoins it.

6:00pm or 8:00pm. Should know, at the latest, early next week...though time could be determined any day now.

tOSU confirmed for 8:00pm, also in another thread from SHP.

Dang, thought I had 4 more chances to watch the train roll through State College. Now it's only 3. :-(

The six points will be a zero net gain. The bytch is one of the funniest aspects of a PSU match is watching the process Zain uses this week to force his opponent to succumb.

Any possibility Jammey could suit up. Whatever he weighs I am certain Zain would say it's OK.

Jammenz is older than me...no way he suits up .

Brancale listed for Sunday.

West-Central PA. It was called scrapple. Never heard of Porn House, well, at least not since college. I covered the scrapple in syrup as a kid. Have never eaten it since voluntarily.
All this talk of lutefisk and scrapple is interesting, but it made me think of Iceland and raised concerns about another transfer for a split second.

Auto-correct, I hope?

Growing up in central PA, just outside of State College (Pennsylvania Furnace) I remember scrapple, pon haus and pig souse. Good stuff!

Fried scrapple with home made Amish apple butter... HELL YEA

 

[PSUaggie]

We always spread apple butter on scrapple for breakfast. I believe that's the real PA German way to do it

 

[PSUaggie]

The conversation with the 149 pounders in the Minny room went something like this:

Eggum- "So who wants to wrestle Zain on Friday night?"

149 #1- "I think I am coming down with the flu."

149 #2- "I have to go to a friends wedding."

149 #3- "Um, I have tickets to the Lutefisk Festival in Brainerd this weekend."

Never tried it that way. I like it fried crispy and eaten with eggs or with syrup. I will have to try some apple butter.

PSA for you Pennsylvanians: just because Scrapple conjures up visceral memories of your childhood doesn't make it objectively good. It's bad.

Subjectively......it’s awesome!!!

Looks like the creamery is slipping

I've had it, but I'd rather have crispy corned beef hash or bacon.

 

[pawrestlersintn]

With a family name like Yoder, ancestors with names like Swartzell, Aurand, King and Zook, and only being a few generations removed from having to take a horse and buggy to PSU wrestling matches, all I can say is I don't like it.

Dogfish head made a scrapple beer- beer for breakfast or something like that. Needed more scrapple flavor.

I haven't had it with apple butter either. My preference is cut thin and fried crispy with a little salt. Occasionally with syrup. Hell, I even grilled it once.

Funny story...over the Christmas Holidays, my brother-in-law and I make pon haus...and the wives won't even enter the kitchen during or after frying...at least till the waft of scrapple-smell is gone.

Guessing this is injury or illness related....but after watching a replay of Zain in the Michigan match, I wouldn't blame anyone for saying .. 'i don't want any of that'

Lancaster County, we always had it with Apple Butter. My grandmother preferred speaking PA Dutch to English. It was fun to hear my dad and grandmother speak it. Not sure how it was spelled but the only PA Dutch I learned was how to say, "Come and eat"! MY dad was the oldest of 6 farmer boys. My grandmother would bake 15-20 fruit pies a week. Dad said they ate them 3 meals a day!

Lutefisk and salmon eggs is wonderful.

People INSIDE of eastern PA say the same thing about scrapple.

I miss scrapple more than any food in the world since leaving eastern PA. I'm just glad I fell in love with it as a kid before I ever read the ingredients list as an adult.

For awesome lutefisk -

1. Soak the fish in clear water for 3 days.
2. Add 2 tbsp lye into a gallon of water.
3. Soak for 3 days in this solution.
4. Then soak for 4 days in clear water, changing the water every day.
5. To cook the lute fish--------.
6. Tie the fish loosely in a square of cheese cloth.
7. Drop in a large enamel pot of boiling water.

King syrup...

Do you put an egg on it, too? That's how my parents eat it.

 

[RoarLions1]

No. Thinly sliced, fried crispy, both sides, with or without butter (there's enough fat in good pon haus that butter isn't needed). A good dousing of King Syrup, nothing else. Eggs on the side, if you like, preferably over easy.

My wife always claims to speak PA Dutch, and comes out with "hinkle drecht." I think that's all she knows.
