 Scrapple - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Scrapple is typically cut into thin slices, fried until the outsides form a crust, and eaten at breakfast in a similar manner to bacon or sausage.
Scrapple is somewhat similar to the Scottish traditional dish haggis, though the latter is prepared with mutton offal instead of pork, and oatmeal instead of cornmeal.
Scrapple is one of those farm foods invented to use those parts of slaughtered food animals which were not suitable to be served on their own, in the same manner as sausages, or Jewish kishkes.

 The Philadelphia Cheesesteak Part One
These types of people are often difficult to identify as true Philadelphians due to the absurdity of this sandwich and its considerable similarity to a non-Philadelphian sandwich.
Since they can't read too good, the name Philadelphia Cheese Steak Sandwich gets "whisper down the laned" to finally be called a Steak and Cheese before someone finally gets the big idea to write it down, in chalk, at the top of a greasy griddle six hundred miles away.

The accent of Philadelphia and nearby parts of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, and Maryland, is probably the original ancestor of General American.
As in Eastern New England, the accents of New York City and northern New Jersey are traditionally non-rhotic.

 Got Apex? Forums - i finally caved in and got some mexican food
Scrapple isn't just in PHiladelphia..it's pretty much all over Pennsylvania and down south..it's gross, and it's garbage..it's snouts,toes,tails,guts,etc all rolled together like chop meat and formed into nice little patties with spices tossed in.
Scrapple is only found in Philadelphia (to my knowledge)....and you really dont want to know what is in it, because you wont eat it again.
If you closer to Lancaster-the scrapple is at least from the local fresh kills, and not sitting around in meat packing plants all year.

 Some Food Variants - THE ELEGANT ART OF DINING - Bohemian San Francisco Its Restaurants and Their Most Famous Recipes - Worldwide Cookbooks - World Wide Cook Books
We find that Italian polenti, Spanish tamale, Philadelphia scrapple and Southern Darkey crackling corn bread are but variants of the preparation of corn meal in delectable foods.
It differs from scrapple in that the ingredients are mixed in a sauce and poured over the mush instead of being mixed in the meal.
It is a long step from plain corn meal mush to scrapple, which we consider the highest and best form of preparing this sort of dish, but all the intermediate steps come from a desire to please the taste with a change from simple corn meal.

 ALR September / October 2000
Philadelphia is the focal point of the Delaware Valley dialect area, which encompasses the Pennsylvania counties of Bucks, Montgomery, Philadelphia, Delaware and Chester, the New Jersey counties of Mercer, southern Ocean, Burlington, Camden, Gloucester, Atlantic, Salem, Cumberland and Cape May, and New Castle County.
A few words with Philadelphia origins have since gone on to more widespread usage: hoagie (submarine sandwich), yo (hey, hello), and hot cakes (pancakes), and others have become obsolete, such as coal oil (kerosene).
New York and Philly both have a contras between the vowels of cot and caught, with the aw distinctively raised: cawfee (coffee), dawg (dog); both have a typically southern ow: caow (cow), aout (out), al (owl), though Philadelphia’s is more advanced.
