My wife loves the stuff but can't find her favorite Rapa brand here in Alabama. Her family sends it to her. She's buying Habberset in Publix and likes it, but it is slightly different. Jones Farms always owned Habberset, but now they make scrapple out of the same factory in Bridgeville De that Rapa has always been made. It looks like Jones bought or partnered with Rapa and now make it all in De, but with slightly different recipes. Her opinion is that the flavor is about the same but the consistency is slightly different. Either way, enjoy your scraps! brokenknifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08687744014960185109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7977692485541441653.post-45228963278148126812018-06-22T06:05:10.480-07:002018-06-22T06:05:10.480-07:00very good idea- my family in Pa. would flour it bu...very good idea- my family in Pa. would flour it but forgot about it will try i am from Baltimore there was a xcellent scrapple by a local vendor the best but be sure it was a vessel cloggerstreetsigngirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01619646769060408310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7977692485541441653.post-86003279548330966242018-06-21T21:58:38.859-07:002018-06-21T21:58:38.859-07:00I fry defrosted slices of scapple in at least 1/8 ...I fry defrosted slices of scapple in at least 1/8 inch of butter in a small well seasoned cast iron pan. I place the scrapple in the hot pan and resist the urge to move it until there is a nice THICK crust on the bottom.<br /><br />If two pieces are touching I LEAVE THEM ALONE. Moving them before the bottom is crisped will result in crumbling. They can be cut apart just before flipping.<br /><br />If I was able to resist the impulse to check the bottom early I can flip the scrapple slice and crust the second side.<br /><br />If I fail to resist and it crumbles I add scrambled egg and cook it with the butter and scrapple crumbles. I eat the eggs with the scrapple which didn't crumble.<br /><br />My slices are a bit over 1/4 inch thick.<br /><br />I have never floured scrapple slices.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02763299390089479878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7977692485541441653.post-26346130793128471512018-06-10T16:01:24.231-07:002018-06-10T16:01:24.231-07:00i find if it was frozen it falls apart i find if it was frozen it falls apart streetsigngirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01619646769060408310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7977692485541441653.post-32921109057663062582018-06-10T08:28:00.130-07:002018-06-10T08:28:00.130-07:00Jones scrapple is readily available in CA, and in ...Jones scrapple is readily available in CA, and in Texas (Kroger, Ralphs, VONS, HEB).<br />My problem: when I fry it with or without flour, it crumbles and falls apart.

I normally eat the ends "raw" while cooking the slices. Every scrapple I have had is good. A little different blend of seasoning with each brand. I currently eat Greensboro(made by Rapa) and Kirby and Holloway. Individual brands from Dover and Milton De are great also. Most meat shops have some type of scrapple. Eat the brands you like and do not put down the brands you do not like.

I used to be able to find it at my Safeway in California, but they stopped stocking it.<br /><br />I had friends living in York who would either mail it to me or ship it, and I was in heaven again. Then they moved to Washington state. Sigh.<br /><br />So, I am searching now for a place to buy it (or any scrapple) at a reasonable price. Really, when companies charge a fortune for the shipping, do they really need to triple the charge for the product, too???<br /><br />I've made my own in the past, and it was pretty good, but I'm still craving the Rapa.More Cowbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06926142793239243190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7977692485541441653.post-26020854317574206732014-08-22T05:13:55.126-07:002014-08-22T05:13:55.126-07:00We have a southern version of scrapple very common...We have a southern version of scrapple very common in western north Carolina called "liver mush" almost identical to scrapple .

You are lucky to live in Florida. As I recently discovered when I visited, many brands of scrapple are available at Florida grocery stores. Here is Kansas, we got bupkis!!

We've had them all, and Rapa is by far the most flavorful. Whenever friends visit here in FL, they can only come bearing Rapa Scrapple. Whenever I go back home, I get several 1lb packs and slice it for the freezer.

I just might try your idea of baking it instead of frying it. The hardest thing about frying scrapple is that you have to wait so long before you can turn it; it seems to be forever.

I did read a blog from California that said you can get it there, too, but I don't know how old that was. I used to be able to get Habbersett's Scrapple at the Skaggs Alpha Beta in Albuquerque. But they closed.<br /><br />Keeping in mind that this is no gourmet item, please let me know what you think if you get a chance to try some.
