Scrapple, it's what's for breakfast.
Everyone loves vintage wank, and everyone loves food wank. So what happens when we mix the two of them together?

Pure Gold.

In thoroughly modern fashion, EPICURE’s recipe was almost immediately wikified. PORCUPINE warned against over-frying the scrapple, A HOUSEKEEPER swapped in Graham flour, and MIDDLETOWN gave her method for removing excess grease.

Only PHYSICIAN seemed content with the dish as it was, calling it “a positive luxury, throwing the Frenchman’s pâté de foie gras entirely into the shade.”

As always, the haters far outnumbered the fans: One reader declared that he’d just as soon fry bread in lard and eat it than partake in what others called an “abominable mess,” a “culinary fraud upon the stomach” and a great way to contract trichinosis.

Many thanks to the NY Times for the excellent ~~wank report~~ article.

Scrapple is the food of my people. I loved it until a friend told me what was in it.

...All done now kthx.

It's good to have something to point to when people complain that the Internet is making people ruder. People have ALWAYS been rude; we just get to do it faster now that we don't have to wait for the editor to print our letter.

[Ages ago, someone said they had another Victorian letter-column wank. What happened to that?]

	Oh, they were worse. You can be so much nastier for longer when you aren't allowed to swear. Hi, I should be re-reading my thesis, can you tell? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Thesis defences should be BANNED. But I have a purple shirt and a Middleman style waistcoat to wear so at least I can stun them with the power of my awesome clothes... (Reply to this)(Parent)

	...I'm still working on it! It turns out some of the stuff I thought had been digitized hadn't yet. But it's slowly being put up, so soon maybe. (Reply to this)(Parent)
