Many thanks to @Wendy for scoring this Lebanon bologna! One of my favorites growing up in NEPA but scarce as hens' teeth out west. It's about ⅓ gone since this morning.

What’s up with the bologna?

I'm not from eastern PA where this stuff is very common, but to me it seems like a weird kind of salami, not bologna. It is originally from the small town of Lebanon, PA. I prefer mortadella...

It is more salami than bologna.

As a NEPA kid…I would describe it as a spicy bologna?

Was a favorite in my school kid lunchbox……from what I remember…. probably with white American cheese and spicy mustard….lol.

Should @Wendy ship you some scrapple?

I have eaten it a few times, okay if very crispy. My dad from Oswego, NY said they would eat in on the farm during the Depression, and that it was shipped in from Pennsylvania Dutch country. Of course, he liked Spam as well, but then he has a 20 year Air Force man from the Korean War through early Vietnam.

I brought Scrapple for Phil in my carry-on when I flew out to CO in April. Also some summer bologna and some kind of German pork sausage I’ve never heard of. I have TSA pre-check, but was flagged for the meat packages. LOL. The TSA person took out the square paper wrapped block of scrapple and said, “Scrapple, eh?” She still did a swab for the gas chromatograph - I would’ve loved to see that spectrum on the monitor.

Gross! Lebanon bologna should never be contaminated by any other kind of meat.

Good lord, it’s way better than salami!

@Andy Mink
You truly can get anything on Amazon these days.

But you miss the experience of going here to get it. Check out the sign:

I grew up in Lancaster, PA, and we got our meat from a local butcher. I was used to seeing brains, pigs feet, cows’ tongues, and pig’s stomach in the meat case. I never wanted to eat it, but my little kid brain was fascinated by it. When I went to college and saw meat in the grocery store pre-wrapped in plastic, I was horrified. I’d only ever seen meat cut fresh and wrapped in butcher paper. You’ll see the same things in this store pictured above. One thing I’ve never seen before was pickled pigs’ snouts ….big jars of it on the counter. Gross.

When I went in to get Phil’s goodies in April, a very elderly woman cutting vegetables with a very sharp knife waited on me. She was trying to convince me to buy some sticky buns….and she was telling me how they made them there with potatoes instead of flour, while waving the knife a mere inches from my face! It was a bit disconcerting. Her daughter finally came over and said, “‘Mom, I don’t think this woman needs a knife held to her to convince her to buy the buns!”

First, thank you to your father for his service. Please do not compare scrapple with Spam, they are not even in the same food category.

I don't think you'll find this in local stores in New Mexico. I'm impressed with the addition of basil, rosemary and thyme. Gourmet cuisine...
