Scrapple: Its Final European History

Hey, scrapple. It’s been a while.

I consider this the end of the European history of scrapple. Soon I make my move on to the American history of scrapple. If any of this is unclear, please comment and let me know so I can fix it. I had some conflicting sources with this one. The most important thing is that you, dear reader, understand what’s going on.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND! I AM SO OVERWHELMED!

Also, quick note about citations for this particular project. In every article I post I will always cite the pictures, but I’m going to cite my sources for all the research at the end of the project.

And let’s begin.

All Scrappled Out

Whew.

Sorry for the delay. This scrapple business is kicking my butt. I’ve got piles of information on scrapple, and after learning its other names I’m going to end up with piles more.

I’ll break the post up into parts. I have yet to know how many parts there will be, but I anticipate at least two. Easier reading that way.

In the meantime, check this out:

Keep eating and asking, my friends.

Gearing Up For ScrappleFest 2011.

It’s almost here.

Tomorrow from 10am to 4pm, Scrapple will take over Reading Terminal Market. Weak of heart, be warned. Here’s a description of what’s goin’ on. And here’s a picture of two of the victims:

Welcome to ScrappleFest 2011, ladies*

In other news, I hit the Book Jackpot. It was a little bit magical. If you like research and you’ve hit the Book Jackpot before, you’ll understand what I mean when I say I giggled with excitement.

HIGH FIVE!

I’m off to take copious notes and begin writing. I’ll be sure to post pictures tomorrow and let you know how my first time (with Scrapple) went.

Keep eating and asking, my friends.

Something Meaty This Way Comes

Baker E, of Flying Monkey Bakery in Reading Terminal Market, Pumpple Cake, and Food Network fame, stopped by Green Aisle today to drop off Whoopie Pies.

She informed me that Scrapplefest at Reading Terminal is coming up this Saturday. She suggested, in celebration of something I am terrified to eat, I write a bit about scrapple. While I had originally planned to do my next post of Purim with many pictures of these:

noym noym noym (that's Yiddish for "nom nom nom")

it’s come and gone, so really there’s no rush.

Scrapple it is.

Look forward to a post about a meat product that gives me the willies but I will try in the name of research. And when you have a chance, stop by Flying Monkey or Green Aisle to taste some of E’s treats.

Keep eating and asking, my friends.
