Scrapple to be recalled

[LynneSin]

Damn, in my opinion scrapple should be illegal on the market. I've seen how they make scrapple and you DON'T want to know what's in there, but believe me, it's not stuff you'd normally cook for dinner

Milton company recalls scrapple

Milton Sausage & Scrapple Co. Inc. in Milton is recalling about 350 pounds of fully cooked scrapple that may be contaminated with the bacteria that causes listeriosis, a serious and potentially fatal illness.

The recalled products are the 1 pound and 2 pound packages of "The Old Home Made Brand Milton Scrapple." The packages are stamped with a sell-by date of June 24 and have the establishment number "Est. 7934" inside the USDA mark of inspection.

Restaurants, stores and consumers who have the scrapple should call Milton Sausage and return the product, owner Chris Lovenguth said.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service discovered listeria monocytogenes bacteria during a routine sampling for the pathogen, said Matt Baun, spokesman for the safety and inspection service.

2. Scrapple

After a pig has be butchered, scrapple is made by taking all the leftover stuff from the pig including rats, bugs, and other garbage lying around. This stuff is compacted and then served by frying it and putting maple syrup on it.

Appetizing huh???!!!

3. Oh yeah.... sounds great....

I think I just vomited inside my mouth...

5. I use to adore the stuff until I saw it being made

I was 8 at the time.

I'm a very quick learner

6. Feel fortunate...

Pig farmers say you can use every part of a hog except the squeal. Scrapple is their attempt to prove it.

Okay, say you just slaughtered a hog. You've cleaned him out, skinned him, cut the carcass in half and hung it in cold storage. But there's all these little scraps of hog on the floor--the lips, intestines, tendons, ligaments, that sort of thing. "Hey, don't throw those away! You can eat those!"

That's scrapple.

4. I'd eat tofu before I ate that

Easy.

8. For some reason I thought you said Snapple

Which is also pretty evil, in its own way.

[pagerbear]

9. Eek! I LOVE scrapple!

Haven't had any in ages and ages.

10. It Sounds Like

It should be outlawed along with Haggis.

11. Though I am a vegetarian now,

when I was a kid my mother would always fix Scrapple and I loved it. Now just thinking about what is in it makes my stomach turn.

12. Scrapple Flavored Iced Tea?

No... seriously... do you KNOW what they use to make scrapple? It's the stuff that falls on the floor at the processing plant. They shovel it up and render it and gel it and sell it. It ought to have been disposed of in the first place.

13. In a similar way

What do you think they use to make Chicken McNuggets? I worked in a chicken processing plant for years. I don't eat McNuggets anymore.

14. ponhaus

I've heard of a similar item called ponhaus. It's made from the stuff that isn't good enough to go into scrapple. Sounds yummy.
