Thank You David!!
Being Born Pennsylvania Dutch, I was weaned on that stuff.
Pennsylvania Dutch:
Most PA Dutchmen originated in & around Germany, and a few came from other places, like the Netherlands, during the 17th & 18th Century.
Mrs Bear's Father was from Germany, and her Mother was Lithuanian.
Bear's Father was Dutch, and his Mother was from Germany.
A search gets you this:
people originally of eastern Pennsylvania whose characteristic cultural traditions go back to the German migrations of the 18th century. 2 : a dialect of German spoken mainly in Amish communities especially in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Indiana.
Here you can see where these "Dutch" people settled, which includes "Amish"
That biggest Red Blotch in the SouthEast Corner of PA includes Bear's Log Den.
Scrapple, just like most other PA Dutch favorites came easy to me when we got married, because both of our families were already using pretty much the same cookbook. To Me Scrapple is like Candy, and good scrapple doesn't need anything on it, like ketchup, Maple Syrup, or Honey.
There are still a lot of people in this area who speak Pennsylvania Dutch, in fact Mrs Bear's father taught "PA Dutch" in a Night-school class at Quakertown High School for a few years. It seemed a lot of wives wanted to be able to communicate with their husbands in PA Dutch, or they wanted to know what was being said about them.
