Habbersett Scrapple 16 Ounces (8 packages)

Was browsing some old family recipes and came across a mention of scrapple and decided to see if I could find some on the internet. Led me to Amazon (where else?). Had a minor hiccup with the delivery as the order was placed during a horrendous snowstorm so got delayed. But seller was quick to respond (under an hour!) And the package arrived 2 days later. Was just as I remembered and my husband confirmed, it IS an acquired taste. Okay since that means more for me!!Bought 8 pounds so had plenty of extra to freeze. As someone else suggested, I sliced it and put parchment paper between the slices before freezing so I can pull out 1 or 2 pieces at a time when I'm ready for more.Came well wrapped and as others have mentioned, ice pack was still frozen when it got here to Amarillo. Individual packages where still cold, so no worries about that.Happy to find somewhere to get my scrapple fix without having to fly back east :)

I grew up on Scrapple as a kid and always loved it.... the CRISPY outside and flavor of the spices. When preparing, one must keep the Scrapple as cold as possible so it will slice well. The key is to slice it as THINLY as possible, because its all about that CRISPY, brown outside. If you don't slice it thinly enough, then you will NOT enjoy its uniqueness for what it is. When cooking, it is best to use a medium hot pan and only turn it over (to cook the other side) when the cooking side becomes a medium to dark brown color (not BURNED). The darker the outside, the more CRISPY it will be. If you cook it to a lighter color, then the Scrapple will be more chewy. You might want to cook at different shades of brown, so you can determine just HOW you like your Scrapple BEST.NOTHING LIKE SCRAPPLE !! And Habbersett's is the BEST ! It's why I had it shipped to NE.

My Mother used to fix scrapple for me, it was a favorite of hers. It was a rare treat, but for a very long time, from high school in fact, I hadn't tasted it, and missed it. When I found it on Amazon and ordered, it was a great reminder of growing up on the East Coast, and a treat for me!

My dad loved this stuff so we had all the time when I was little. I loved it too so I 've been looking for it for years. Finally found it on Amazon. It tastes just as I remember. And now I have found RAPA brand which my brother and I decided that it's the brand we remember. But this stuff is not as expensive and tastes just as good. If you've never had Scrapple, try it. cut thin and cook crispy or cut thin with a crispy crust and soft inside, both are delicious, Believe it or not, I like better than bacon!!!

I grew up in Philly and now live in NYC & the only way I could get scrapple was to go to Philly. But with Covid and other issues that was not possible. I didn't even know you could buy it direct and now that I know, I will be ordering all the time! It arrived with dry ice and was cold with no problems. If you love scrapple I definitely recommend! It is pricey though but much cheaper than driving to Philly.

Alright, I'm giving this a 4 star rating simply because of mediocre packaging, particularly when including shipping time.This took roughly 7 days to reach me this time (last order was 5 days) and on both occasions they arrived cool or cold, not frozen. This time, they were mostly cool, but none were cold.On both occasians the individually sealed scrapple blocks had a few with holes in the seals. First order had 4 with small holes, which I cooked right away and froze the others. This order, only one package had a hole. However, the ice was completely melted, leaving a lightly cool water inside, which was lightly tinted brown due to one of the packages having a hole and leaking some juice.Moving on: the scrapple itself is pure joy. Habbersett scrapple is the #1 in Philly for a reason, and that's because it's absolutely delicious.Throw some slices in the pan and your nose is filled with absolute happiness from the delectible aroma. Transfer to your plate, or bread if thats how you prefer, and your mouth will soon be overwhelmed by that same sensation.Despite the packaging and transit, I'll always order Habersett over anything else.TL;DR:Packaging 3/5Taste 5/5

Tastes good, like good old comfort food kinda, for breakfast. I realized that a non-stick frying pan is very important!! And even possibly some butter or non-stick spray on the non-stick pan. I first tried frying with a pan that was not non-stick, and even with melted butter, the scrapple can be sticky. Its not like searing a steak where its easy to flip it over. With these scrapple slices, if it sticks then its hard to flip without it falling apart. Scrapple is basically like a liver pate and fragile. Non-stick pan worked well though. With careful flipping with a very flat spatula, or a fish spatula is ideal.

I'm from Phila and my boyfriend is a homegrown Delaware boy. We both love Scrapple. But we didn't know how much we love it until we moved to Hawaii last year. It is one of the two things (the other being WaWa coffee) that we asked friends and family to mail us if they feel so kind. However, it is a great option to be able to order some ourselves at a reasonable price. I shopped around, shipping cost is insane on every vendors when the ship to address is HI. This was shipped via USPS priority mail at an affordable price. I was concerned since it was taking about 5days to get here. But they kept fine. We cooked up a pack that night. We'll freeze some for later. It really helps with easing the homesickness.
