At this point we need a separate subforum just for these ridiculous minor league promotions.

Isn't scrapple just the Mid-Atlantic's version of Spam?

It's nowhere close to being the same meat item, but as for being a regional favorite garbage meat, yes. There's also pork roll/taylor ham in the Mid-Atlantic (mostly Jersey). Depends where you live.

 

(Both are delicious, for the record....pork roll especially)

I’ve actually never had pork roll, and people look at me like I have two heads when I say that. Scrapple, when cooked well done, is great - AS LONG AS YOU DONT THINK ABOUT WHAT IT IS. I’m typing this from the Melrose Diner in South Philly, smelling the scrapple on my neighbor’s plate, and while it’s not making me hard, there’s definitely a little movement happening. 

 

Pork Roll/Taylor Ham is much more like Spam than Scrapple is.

 

As for which state scrapple is associated with, I think of it as much more of a Pennsylvania thing than a Maryland thing, though you can get it around here.  If anything, the Shorebirds should be named after some sort of chicken product . . . particularly since they play in Arthur W. Perdue Stadium.

Me a couple years ago: I am really freaking sick of every minor league team doing "Star Wars night" and wearing the same mass-produced jersey

But this still has a long road to travel before the owners realize we hated it the first time/

June 19, 2018 - 12:52 PM

Long before the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp became one of the poster children for minor league baseball’s era of wacky logos—and long before the Jacksonville Expos of the late 1980s, or the Jacksonville Suns, who played the better part of five […]

@dfwabel would probably be proud of this joke. The rest of us aren’t, though.
