Scrapple: Tasty Economy
Eating less meat and wasting less food doesn’t have to trigger a mindset of sacrifice. Food preservation studies show us that some of the most delicious preparations of meat and fat also reduce waste and overconsumption. As we continue to redevelop what constitutes a nourishing diet in a warming world with an over-consolidated food system, how can we change the dialogue toward flavor and positivity, rather than skimping and scarcity? We can begin by looking to our ancestors, who laid the foundation for responsible and participatory omnivory. Scrapple is one of their most ingenious approaches, and you can make it in your own kitchen.
Scrapple uses leftover meat trimmings or scrap meat from bones, plus some nutritious organ meat and spices, to produce a hearty meal in the form of a loaf in the Midwest.
