Should be available in most diners in SE Pennsylvania.

Rapa's website has a store locator:

Rapa scrapple is made in Bridgeville, Delaware, a speed trap town on the way from the DC area to the beaches. For years, we had an International Skeet club in Bridgeville owned by Olympic coach Woody Hunsberger. I spent many happy weekends at the Lower Shore Skeet Club. About four Preliminary Olympic Tryouts were held per year, three days each. I'll take a look at the Rapa website. Rapa is probably the largest selling name brand scrapple in the world.

I got in a little late on this discussion but feel honor requires that I respond. I've had scrapple and was raised on grits. There's really no comparison. Just add a little butter and salt, you'll be eatin' grits morning, noon and night.

I was born in Lancaster, PA and grew up with an Amish/Mennonite background. We pretty much were bottle fed scrapple, pudding, souse, etc... I'll take pudding and scrapple any day over souse.

Dave- pretty much every diner in south-central PA serves scrapple. Some good, some not so good. Rapa is decent but there are better alternatives. Dietz & Watson ( http://www.dietzandwatson.net/go/our...kfast-kitchen/ ) is good for a large company but the best comes from smaller shops. As long as they haven't changed their recipe since I last had it, Groff's ( http://www.groffsmeats.com/index.asp ) is top notch. I see they do mail orders. I'd recommend you start with them. Add a pound or two of their bacon as well. You won't be disappointed.

And for those inclined to read... http://www.amazon.com/Country-Scrapp.../dp/081170064X

Cheers
Marcus

Dave,

If your really serious about trying scrapple, I'll pick you up some from Groff's in Elizabethtown.

Marcus, If you live close to Lancaster, you missed out on a good time at the recent SxS shoot in Harrisburg.

Hi Chuck

I live near Ski Roundtop now. I had wanted to attend the shoot but I chose to focus on a project that needs completed in the coming week. I need to get caught up so a certain gunsmith's (from Lititz) wife doesn't get too mad at me for not getting to her project sooner. Sometimes self-employment has it's downsides

Cheers
Marcus

OK Dave, bring a cooler. I'll be at Hidden Hollow Saturday.

I bet George Lander is trying to figure out how his questions on his hammer gun got off track, first to the definition of gutta percha, then to a discussion of scrapple
