Scrapple Anyone?

When my grandmother moved out of her house, my parents boxed up all her books and put my name on them. This morning, I opened the first of many boxes to find the Prairie Farmer -- WLS Family-Tested Cook Book Centennial Edition dated 1941. I was flipping through the Centennial Recipes (which I guess are ones they had printed previously and found worthy of repeating for posterity) when I found a recipe we just had to share with the BLD from 1905.

Scrapple

Boil a pig's head until the meat will strip from the bones. Chop or grind the meat fine. Skim fat from the broth, return the meat, season highly with salt and pepper, and add corn meal until of the consistency of mush, and cook slowly for 1 hour. Turn into a pan and set in a cool place. Slice and fry.

On that disgusting note, we begin our day.
