Scrapple: Oh, Just Try It
Kendrick and I talked about it, and we agree that the major problem with Scrapple is that it looks like this (before it's cooked).
The other problem: it's called "Scrapple", and the reason it's called Scrapple is that it's made from pork scraps left over from butchering (tongue, head, heart, liver, etc), pulverized, and held together with cornmeal. Since this is Stone Barns Scrapple, and therefore fancy, it also has things like pork cheeks (the very best part of the animal because it's super tender) mixed in, but still:
Scrapple.
Hey, I get it.

Lemon Chicken & Strawberry Salad
I think I'm totally a salad person. I'm just a picky one.
