Rapa scrapple factory in Delaware or Connecticut for lobster? Life's tough decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While up at Cape Cod this summer went to a place called the Pancake Man 3 times because they had the best homemade hash I have ever eaten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This reminds me of when I used to buy hash from a guy called the pancake man back in high school. Seriously though, breakfast is by far my favorite meal of the day.

There is an incredible lobster shack in Portland, ME right on the water called Portland Lobster Company (I know how generic). Their lobster is fresh as can be and the portion size for the price just cannot be beat. Amazing coleslaw too and have homemade desserts to boot. The atmosphere on the water is cool with the old school New England feel. If you are ever up in New England for any reason, I'd suggest a stop. For convenience sake this go around, I'd go with Scrapple. Delicious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 All this talk about breakfast. I had a nice breakfast at the local Stables in Westminster earlier this morning walked out into a sleet storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of my colleagues from the Boston area told us about the lobster rolls that McDonald's sells in their NE locations. We thought that's a must try. Wow, what a surprise! They were great. Spent a few days on Cape Cod, a couple days in Boston and a couple of days in CT. Ate seafood about every night no matter where we were and had a great time. Hope to make it further North the next time around. Will keep the Portland Lobster Company in mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were on our way to Acadia and had pulled into the city pretty early, but we did luck out and got into Shipyard Brewing Co for an early visit and some of their beers. It was an awesome trip because every small town had a lobster pound so we gorged ourselves. I'm definitely going to head up to visit Portland again so I'll keep the place in mind. Thanks!

nw baltimore wx Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 My favorite lobster roll was the one I had at Abbott's in CT with the clam roll I had from Costello's down the street. It may not have been the best one but the memory of it is. And I like the buttery CT lobster rolls over ME salad'sih rolls. Just my preference. by the way, Mason's Lobster Rolls in Annapolis is pretty darn good for a local place. I wish it was a shack on the water, but for taste, they're good!

Stormpc Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 It's like spam but more gross. Originates from Pennsylvania and the Appalachians. Poor folks who couldn't afford Meats would go to the butcher after he was done processing a pig. Everything that was to be thrown out would be gathered by the less fortunate. They would grind it up add a broth or water to it then set it in pans and let it rest or freeze it. Then they slice it after it hardened and fry it.

Stormpc Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 If you are interested in Scrapple, go to your local grocery store and find the section in the back where they sell the pigs feet, intestines and hoofs. It will be vacuumed sealed. Don't worry it won't break the bank so drop $2 and buy a pound of it. When you get home open it up and take a whiff...

At its base, scrapple is an Amish product. It's pig offal and other stuff that doesn't make it off the bones during the processing for your normal cuts of meat. The "stuff" is boiled down, then skimmed, and the bones removed. The meat that remains is then combined with with cornmeal (I think) and made into a block. Best preparation (and the only one, to be fair) is to cut it into a 1/2-1" thick slice and pan fry or deep fry. Get it nice and crispy on the outside - the contrast between crispy and soft on the inside is lovely. I personally like to eat mine with pancakes or French toast, and ensure that plenty of syrup gets dumped on the scrapple. Salty/savory and sweet. Or a scrapple, egg, and cheese.
