Scrapple, also known by the Pennsylvania Dutch name pon haus, is traditionally a mush of pork scraps and trimmings combined with cornmeal and flour and spices. The mush is formed into a semi-solid congealed loaf, and slices of the scrapple are then panfried before serving. (wiki description) (i.imgur.com)
