This past weekend Reading Terminal Market hosted ScrappleFest 2009. I will never understand this city's obsession with a "meat" made by grinding up all of the unusable pieces of the pig (eyes, ears, snouts, bones ...), but I have become obsessed with the results of the contest.
Coming in second out of eight competitors, Vrapple, a vegan scrapple imitation, was the talk of the day. Vrapple creator Sarah Cain, owner of Fair Food Farmstand in the Market, and chef John Blanche created a maple-roasted pumpkin dish using the faux scrapple for the (second)prize-winning. Head on over to Reading Terminal's Fair Food to congratulate Cain and give Vrapple a taste for yourself.
Get the full scoop from someone that was at ScrappleFest from the Philadelphia Daily News article.
