scrapple

  1. Noun.  A tool for scraping.
  2. Noun.  (US, Appalachia, Blue Ridge) A mixture of hog head parts including cheeks, jowl, ears, snout, and sometimes small scraps of muscle tissue, usually chopped into small pieces. The mixture is thoroughly boiled and poured into a mold or other container. The rendered gelatinous broth from cooking jells the mixture. The fat is skimmed off. This thick pudding-like product may later be mixed with cornmeal and spices, then cooked again, often into a loaf, which is eaten warm or cold.
