    HOW DOES SCRAPPLE COME TO BE?

    Devotees stress that homemade Scrapple is best. Here, we'll learn how
    it's done.

    First, we begin with the head of a pig (fresh is always preferable to
    frozen). Exactly which parts of a pig's head are included in Scrapple
    depends somewhat on regional preference.

    To begin, the head should be cut in half, or even quartered. (The ears
    make for conventient handles while sawing the skull.) While an axe or
    cleaver can be used to split the head, a saw is preferable in that it
    produces no bone fragments.

    Once the head is sectioned, some people remove the brains. Some remove
    the teeth - bashing them off with a cleaver. Yet others remove the eyes.
    The most nutritious scrapples contain the entire head! That said,
    however, special care should be taken to remove the ear drums. Left in
    place, they contribute a distinctively bitter taste to the Scrapple,
    which while popular in Pittsburgh, is generally disliked elsewhere.

    DID YOU KNOW?

    An average scrapple loaf contains the rectums of 4 swine

    Applied topically, Scrapple rivals Clearasil as a canine tongue magnet.

    MORE ON SCRAPPLE:

    Cool weather conjures up thoughts of hog killin' and scrapple makin'.
    After the hams and bacon have been put down in cure and the sausage is
    all ground and the lard rendered and the feets pickled and the snouts
    soused, you take what's left (the scraps) and make scrapple. Now, I have
    seen a lot of recipes for making scrapple. Most say to start with a
    shoulder or some such good piece of meat. Blasphemy! Everybody knows
    there are better ways to use a shoulder and such wanton waste would not
    have been tolerated back when times were tight and folks had to make the
    most of what they had. I have also had some Pennsylvania scrapple that
    was way too strong in liver. Here's how we used to make it back when I
    was a youngun.

    Ingredients:
    1 Grandmother to make sure everything is done "just so"
    1 Mother to do most of the preparations. Overseen by ingredient #1
    2 Children, big enough to stir the pot but not smart enough to be
    somewhere else
    Hog heads (number depending upon how many hogs were killed)
    About 1/4 of the livers (the rest having been made into liver pudding or
    fried)
    Hearts
    Various and sundry other parts of the pig not used to make other
    delicacies
    Salt
    Sage
    Pepper
    Maybe a little celery salt to highlight the flavors (optional)
    Stone ground white cornmeal

    The feature attraction is the cleaned head. Remove the eyeballs (the
    brains were removed on killing day and scrambled with eggs the next
    morning), break the head(s) into manageable pieces with a cleaver, and
    cook them down in a kettle of boiling water 'til the meat is easily
    pulled. Skim the fat from the water and save. Pull all of the meat and
    fat (separate) from the heads and chop up the chunks. Cook the liver and
    heart and whatever else wasn't used in other delicacies and grind them
    up. Get a tote-sack full of corn meal and keep it handy. Put the meat,
    heart, and other scraps (except liver) back into the simmering kettle of
    stock. Add liver until you can taste it but the liver flavor does not
    predominate. You can put some of the fat in if you wish. Add salt and
    celery salt - the cornmeal will take a lot of salt so you get this
    mixture fairly salty. Stir. Taste. Add sage and pepper to taste - not
    too much, now. Stir. Taste. Pass the spoon around so everybody can pass
    judgment. When it's right, you should taste salt first, then liver - but
    not too strong, rich pork meat flavor and a hint of sage. When everybody
    (especially ingredient #1) is agreed that it couldn't possibly be
    better, bring out the cornmeal and kids.

    Now comes the hard part! Slowly stir in the cornmeal with a long wooden
    spoon - not too much at a time, now. Keep stirring. Add cornmeal. Keep
    stirring. Add cornmeal. Keep stirring. As the mixture starts to get
    thick, add some of the liquid fat that had been skimmed earlier. Keep
    stirring. Not thick enough yet. Add a little more corn meal. Keep
    stirring. A little more fat until there is a slight sheen to the surface
    but no visible oil. Keep stirring.

    "Just where do you think you're going? Get back there and stir that
    pot!! "

    As the mixture thickens and you fine tune the ratio of fat to cornmeal,
    it will start to separate from the sides of the kettle. This is a good
    thing 'cause the kids are about tuckered. Ladle it into lightly greased,
    shallow, rectangular or square tin pans to a thickness of about 2 1/2
    inches. Be careful - it's still hot! Start slapping it down with the
    palm of your hand. Slap it like you mean it! SLAP IT! If you are doing
    it right, your hand should be beet red, sore and covered with a light
    coat of pig oil. Good. Now let the pans cool, cover with waxed paper and
    put them in the frigidare or cold pantry.

    Next morning, remove scrapple from the pan and slice about 3/8" thick.
    Lightly flour both sides. Heat about 1/4" of bacon grease in an iron
    skillet 'til it just starts to smoke. Fry until outside starts to crisp
    but the inside is still soft. Drain briefly on a paper towel. Serve with
    Log Cabin syrup and eggs. There's nothing else like it in this world!!
