AbstractIncludes bibliographical references (p. 137-155) and index.Donated by Roger and Kay Doran, Antigo, WI, 2008.Traces the European origins of an American culinary oddity, a "mush made from pork products [leftover from the butchering process] and cereal, which is then sliced and fried." While each immigrant group had its own scrapple recipe, the Pennsylvania Dutch version made from pork and cornmeal came to dominate the scene and holds its own as a regional favorite. Weaver documents recipes for the many regional American variations and explains the differences among them. Includes a listing of German museums with scrapple-related displays.
