No meat just yet but, work was going to throw out this green mountain pellet grill. I asked for it, they gave it to me and for less than 50$ I got me a grill.

Never had the opportunity to try it or heard of it outside of this forum. Is it kind of like this?

it's really nothing like spam. Scrapple is essentially cornmeal mush (or polenta) with the addition of pork fat & pork parts rendered from the scraps of the pig, so depending on the maker it will have various percentages of liver, hearts, & various other organs or cuts. Some are very 'livery', almost leaning towards liver mush, while others are more plain 'pork-like'. Take the leftover pig post-butchering and throw it all in a giant pot & boil it over a fire for hours, strain out the bones & the remainder is then mixed with cornmeal & spices, poured into tins & left to stiffen. Slice that up & fry it = Scrapple. Pure heaven.
Spam is more a processed ham-like substance, very salty/ham tasting.

Bacon wrapped Scrapple loaf?
Didn't know what it was, but thought it was something I might try.

Ground my own burgers, mix of brisket, chuck, sirloin, oh and also 2lbs of bacon.
