Meatless scrapple?Posted Apr 9th 2006 7:04PM by Nick VagnoniFiled under: Breakfast, Restaurants, Vegetarian, Grains, Vegetables, Midwest Cities, Recipes, NewspapersIs there such a thing? According to a story in the Chicago Tribune (republished here by
the Lexington Herald-Leader), there is. After wondering at length about the need for wheat protein turkeys and
"meatless balls," the piece goes on to praise Chicago restaurateur Ina Pinkney (right) of Ina's for her meatless scrapple. Her recipe still uses cornmeal as a binder,
but puts corn and black beans where the miscellaneous meat would normally go. The breakfast menu at Ina's still serves it with chorizo and eggs,
however. Apparently there's also a vegetarian scrapple recipe in Country Scrapple,
a book detailing the dish's origins. Still, I'd imagine that the word scrapple might carry some unwanted connotations
for vegetarians, unless of course they have some sort of nostalgia for it.
