Every year about this time a meeting is called at the Winfield, OH VFW mostly to drink. Anyone who knows this rural microscopic town knows they ain't got a VFW + few to none of the good old boys are even vets. It's the name given to one of their houses with a really huge garage and a gang of coolers filled with Natty Light. VFW to these guys means Vacation From Work.

Anyway, after about the 10th case of beer, gunshots are heard, half dozen pigs are on the ground, and the process begins. Everyone's got a job, field dress, butcher, sausage grinders, and all the scraps go to my wife's brother Larry aka Krepple King. Me, I don't do squat, I'm a city boy + I can't keep up with these old boys butcherin or ESPECIALLY drinkin!!! (And I'm Irish, former Marine, retired construction worker)

Soon, my wife's brothers will be over + my freezer will be jammed + my beer stash will be DESTROYED! Oh well, it's worth it, the krepples are out of this world! That's Larry on the ribs.

Well now, there's just no tellin! It's kinda like ******* Chinese, nobody's quite sure of it's origin. :unsure: All the bones + scraps (nothin gets wasted) get tossin into a huge pot on the propane burner. There it gets boiled down, the secret ingredients go in (mostly corm meal + spices). from there it's poured into forms (long wooden boxes) where it sets up + is cut into freezer sized loaves. To prepare, yah thaw it out, cut it thin, + throw it on a fryin pan till it's very crisp, then flip + do same to other side. Serve with free range scambled eggs, you'll think yah died + went to heaven. Eat regularly, you will die says my cardiologist. For me, the heaven part is sketchy at best!

Think it's called scrapple around Philly!

coolers filled with Natty Light.

No, the Winfield Gang doesn't do any minced meat, but I know others around here do. And that's exactly the way I eat krepples, fried up nice and crisp on both sides with a gang of free range scrambles eggs. Wife's brothers keep me stocked with krepples while her son provides the eggs.. She's got a huge family, there were 10 children growin a 100 acre, 1 bathroom farm. Her youngest brother still owns it, but only the goats live there now. All honest, hard workin, God fearin folks. Just don't make em like that anymore!
