About the day
National Scrapple Day falls on 9 November and recognises what National Day Calendar calls the first pork food invented in America. Scrapple is a mush of pork scraps, cornmeal, wheat flour and spices such as sage and thyme, set into a loaf, sliced and fried. German colonists near Philadelphia developed the first recipes in the 17th and 18th centuries, and it is also known by the Pennsylvania Dutch name pon haus.
People mark the day by introducing friends to scrapple at a local restaurant, sharing recipes or serving it at breakfast with apple butter, maple syrup or mustard. Posts use #NationalScrappleDay.
The day suits diners, butchers, meat producers, grocers in the Mid-Atlantic and regional food media.
