Ok this isn't traditional. It should be made with scraps of meat because you don't waste a thing when butchering. That scrap
may mean the difference between making it thru the winter or not. And why waste your work? This one is a "cleaned up"
version from PBS. That or Scrapple is part of your farm breakfast. NO they are NOT the same thing. At least here. I know I
grew up eating both.
