I am a man of willpower, sure, but there are some things that I just cannot avoid. One of the delicacies I thoroughly enjoy is scrapple. Sure, some of you health nuts are cringing and looking the other way — I get that, but if you put aside its components and react strictly on taste, I assure you scrapple is unparalleled. As you learn throughout the course of academic study, one of the essential elements of a well-constructed argument is to acknowledge the opposition’s viewpoint in hopes of strengthening your own. With that said, here goes: Scrapple is virtually the scraps of the other meats in the family. Now that we’re past that, let’s get turn our attention to the (5) reasons scrapple is awesome, shall we? Reason 1: Scrapple is always there for you. - Possibly the best characteristic about breakfast is its ability to be enjoyed any time of the day. Well, scrapple — a predominately breakfast-driven delight — follows the breakfast trend of being able to be enjoyed at any moment of the day. Having a rough morning? Have a scrapple sandwich. Tough day at work? Enjoy some scrapple and eggs for a lunchtime treat. Need to blow some steam after a tough commute home? Cut a couple slices of scrapple off the block and get grubbing! Reason 2: Scrapple is the perfect change-up. - At most breakfast chains, you’re given the choice of ham, bacon, or sausage. Don’t misunderstand me, there is nothing wrong with any one of these choices, but one can get burned out eating the same old breakfast meats. Scrapple fills that breakfast void in terms of variety. Reason 3: Scrapple is a regional juggernaut. - Most people in the Northeast and out West ain’t got a clue about this stuff because us Philly folk know how to keep a good thing local. Think about it: Go to the South and order a “Steak and Cheese,” I assure you it ain’t what you had in mind — it just isn’t the same. In the Mid-Atlantic, however, scrapple known and respected, and often mistreated, too, by the haters of society. Reason 4: Harry Kalas ate scrapple. - C’mon, Phillies fans — I shouldn’t have to type another damn word. Reason 5: Scrapple is superior to “Ice” beer. - If you want to talk logistics, then, sure, let’s do it! You beer drinkers of the world — this is directed to you. I am willing to say that in high school or college you drank Natural Ice. First off, that stuff is a hangover in a can, but that’s for another discussion at another time. Anyway, you would stay up all night funneling can after can down your trap. “Mind over Matter” was your mantra. Didn’t matter how horribly bad it tasted. Well, do you know what “Ice” beer is? Ice beer is beer which is conditioned in a chilled environment, promoting the development of ice crystals which are removed, thereby concentrating the flavor and alcohol content of the beer. In short, its finding was probably a disgusting mistake. Scrapple surely is superior to Ice beer. Scrapple: Undefeated since the beginning of tyyyyyyyyyyme.
