I had some sort of dark-colored scrapple once in Amish country. We were on a school trip and we all saw it at the breakfast table and were like "Oooh, breakfast brownies!" Those were not breakfast brownies, and no amount of apple butter made them taste good.
alot of people just use crisco instead of animal fat :)
I lived in California for my first 39 years (44 now) and still had never heard of avocado pie, and living in San Francisco, I didn't exactly lead a culinarily sheltered life. Learn something new every day here....
Speaking of scrapple - I think that will overtake bacon madness in maybe a year.
