| - Scrapple is typically made of hog offal, such as the head, eyes, heart, liver, bladder, and other scraps, 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, and seasonings, typically sage, thyme, savory, and others, are added. The mush is cast into loaves, and allowed to cool thoroughly until gelled. The proportions and seasoning are very much a matter of the region and the cook's taste.

The proportions and seasoning are very much a matter of the region and the cook's taste. Commercial scrapple often contains these traditional ingredients, with a distinctive flavor to each brand, though homemade recipes often specify more genteel cuts of pork, with a consequently blander taste. A few manufacturers have introduced beef and turkey varieties. Scrapple is typically cut into thin (quarter-inch-thick) slices, pan-fried in butter or oil until the outsides form a crust, and served at breakfast, as an accompaniment to eggs. It is eaten plain or with ketchup, maple syrup, dark corn syrup, or apple butter. Ham, who was a bi of a troublemaker and always looking to squeeze out a few extra sheckels, determined to develop a foodstuff that could be produced from the leftover pig snouts and sawdust that did normally just get thrown in the garbage at the diner. He group up all his waste and called it “scrapple.” And he enlisted the help of Nimrod to help market the scrapple. Needless to say, it wasn’t a fast sellerm and scrapple did pile up out behind the dinerm sitting under the sun until it formed a sort of wretched tower. It was at this time that they realized they couldn’t sell it as food, so Nimrod suggested they call it the Tower of Scrapple as charge a fancy sum for passerby to come and behold it’s wonder. Shortly after, the FSM noticed a bad smell engulfing much of the created world? Since the tower of scrapple wasn’t the tourist draw Nimrod and Ham hoped for, they bowed before the FSM’s wishes, however, they inhaled to many racid fumes in the process and were rendered babbling idiots.
