    I thought this was a thread about what I think is actually called "scrapple." Scraps of meat from meat processing, or something like that? I think it's a southern thing, because though I have a vague idea of what it is, I've never laid eyes upon it. I guess you fry it and it has hard core devotees. I think it sounds revolting.

    On topic, I might try a grapple.

    Scrapple is chopped or ground pork and cornmeal mush, cooked and shaped in a loaf pan, cooled, then sliced and browned in butter to serve. It is a true American specialty of the Pennsylvania Dutch (who called it ponhaws or pawnhaus). It was originally made from ‘scraps' of pork.

    one recipe compared it to fried polenta - which actually sounds kind of nice... (better than an artificially grape flavored apple at least...)

    I've seen those too...but the package I bought (yeah, I fell for it ) said that the grapples were actually just fuji apples (which do sort of taste grape-y, I guess). I think it's a marketing ploy...
