Stopped by a tiny West Virginia Truck Stop/Diner yesterday. [View all]

One of the menu choices was something called "Scrapple". I asked the waitress what it was, and she said it was the parts left over from a pig.

I usually try local foods on my travels (I drive a long haul truck), but after a moment it occurred to me that what ever goes into "Scrapple", didn't make the cut over what goes into hotdogs..

I chose Bacon & Eggs, with a truly fine Blueberry pancake on the side.

Next time I drive by I will not chicken out and order Scrapple on the side.

Here is a picture of the diner.
