God bless Philadelphia. Saturday is Scrapplefest at the Reading Terminal Market. There will be scrapple cooking demonstrations, scrapple samplings, celebrity scrapple tastings (!), costumed mascots for the kids, live bands and more. Channel 6 Action News is getting prepared by offering a segment on all you need to know about scrapple (video) but we really got a kick out of two enterprising Philly art students. They put together a 10-page, conveniently scrapple-sized book called “An Ode to Scrapple…” that we can only presume is, yes, an ode to scrapple. At the Reading Terminal, scrapple can be found anytime, but we think the Down Home Diner does the iconic rendition.
