I have to admit that when I was down south, I tried livermush and liked it. Growing up on a farm, SCRAPPLE, was a staple. Anyone here enjoy these and how do you eat it? With something else or by itself. Thank You and happy Saturday
Scrapple, and livermush
- Thread starter 53' Stude
- Start date
Grew up in Lancaster County, PA. Scrapple was a staple back in the 1950's. Had it for breakfast with syrup and many times for dinner. Today, I can't stand the stuff anymore!
I never heard of livermush but I bet I wouldn't like it because I do not like liver.
The scappple I've had needed seasoning. The scrapple I've seen in diners was sliced from a deli-loaf.
Does it come in links and patties too?

Slice scrapple about 3/8" thick, fry till crispy. Two eggs over easy with a side of grits and toast. Yum!
I never liked it, but my wife thinks Habbersett's scrapple from PA (now DE) was the best.
Growing up on the Eastern Shore of Maryland we would have fried scrapple with fried eggs in the morning, along with Maryland beat biscuits. Topped the biscuits with butter and jelly. The biscuits looked like a golf ball. When we were kids we would take a few in our pockets to eat while in the woods.

Will have scrapple for breakfast tomorrow - Habbersett is what we buy.
OT: maybe there should be a "regional food oddites" thread.
I posted years ago about my parents moving to VA and looking for Brown Bread, you know, the New England clambake staple that comes in a can.

Dad grew up in central Pa, he enjoyed his scrapple. Nobody else in the family has anything to do with it. He and mom took a trip to Scotland and also enjoyed haggis.
Scrapple used to be a regional thing. When I was a kid in Balto we had it every weekend for breakfast. Then we moved to Chicago and no more scrapple but dad loved Spam so that got substituted. Boy do I hate Spam. Now it seems you can get it everywhere. Always had mine fried and used anywhere you could use sausage or bacon. On the side, on a sandwich, broken up in scrambled eggs after you fry it. I prefer Rapa but you have to try both and decide for yourself, they have distinctly different flavor.
Dietz & Watson scrapple for me. Never liked the seasoning of Rapa scrapple.
YUCK & YUCK!!!!
Being from the Land of Livermush I was raised on it and love it to this day. Leaving the Land of Livermush brought some challenges to being able to enjoy Livermush. It involves a cooler, slicing, wrapping in butcher paper and freezing. I don't like liver, but Livermush is totally different.

My great grandparents in Nebraska always had it. They called is pannhass or however it is spelled. Fried it and put corn syrup on it. Mom tried to make it after great grandma died and it just wasn't the same.
I remember is being lighter colored that the pictures on the internet show. I think it has a texture similar to grits but in a congealed form.
Never had liver mush.

Gotta eat Glier's Goetta...it's a SW Ohio staple for breakfast. Kind of like scrapple but with steel cut oats, so the texture is different. Found a German butcher shop in Sarasota FL that sells it too. I suspect if you didn't grow up eating stuff like this, you'll never develop a taste for it.
As a weird aside, there are 2 pronunciations for goetta...my inlaws pronounce it Gutta, like your gut, younger people say Getta, like get something.
