This is highly prized in some parts of the country, affording a breakfast dish of great relish. A leading Philadelphia manufacturer has furnished us with the following recipe: To make 200 Ibs. of scrapple, take about 80 Ibs. of good clean pork heads, remove the eyes, brains, snout, etc. Put in about 20 gals, of water and cook until it is thoroughly done.
