  I got to call Haversett tomorrow, and of course Rappa.

Good luck with that one. Let us know how it works out. I mailed letters to both several years ago asking for their permission to use their logos on a custom Weaver reefer car. It was not well received by either.

One just wrote "NO" in red ink on my letter and returned it the enclosed envelope. The other took a little more time and replied with a letter. They explained that they do not allow anyone to use their trademark for any reason, and were prepared to defend it in court.

That's a great looking Nathan's car. Sorry I missed the original announcement.

I hope you send them another letter back -- especially the respondent who rudely wrote "NO" on your letter... wishing them all the best as they continue living life back in the Dark Ages. 

I can't say I've ever reached for scrapple in a food buffet line, but I've honestly never even heard of Habbersett or Rappa.  So it sounds like those companies have much bigger problems than closing the door on using their "trademark" for some much-needed brand advertising!

A Scrapple Hot Dog? Oh my God.

Where's my barf bag?

You mean THIS doesn't appeal to you??????....

"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Place of originUnited States
Main ingredientsmush of pork, cornmeal, flour, buckwheat flour, spices
Cookbook: Scrapple  Media: Scrapple

Scrapple, also known by the Pennsylvania Dutch name panhaas or "pan rabbit,"[1][2] is traditionally a mush of pork scraps and trimmings combined with cornmeal and wheat flour, often buckwheat flour, and spices. The mush is formed into a semi-solid congealed loaf, and slices of the scrapple are then pan-fried before serving. Scraps of meat left over from butchering, not used or sold elsewhere, were made into scrapple to avoid waste."

If there was EVER a "Shovel-Ready" project.......it's SCRAPPLE!!!

Thanks,

Printed and on the wife's desk as a hint for my birthday on the 21st. Wish me luck.

As for Scrapple, slice it thin and fry it crisp. Tastes great. It's the texture that could get dicey. FWIW, it's great with Sriracha sauce. There is a hot pepper blend that also makes a great seasoning.

As for the manufacturers I:

  • Pointed out that our club is a 501c3. This was not a for-profit venture.
  • Free advertising with literally thousands of people seeing these on the modular layout.
  • Gave them the nutty OGR forum thread talking about Scrapple @ York.
  •  Sent them copies of a portion of the Natty Boh thread to serve as an example of what we were trying to achieve. 

FWIW, losing Weaver makes this more difficult. Probably your best bet will be to get undecorated cars and go to Buffalo Creek Graphics. I tossed out the idea of a Farmer Bill's Scrapple fantasy car. That idea fell flat.

You may have just given me a million dollar idea.

This is a sausage stuffer attachment for a Kitchen Aid mixer ($10). Season the Scrapple with Blue Cheese crumbles and Slap Ya Mama, Stuff the Scrapple in a sausage casing and then into the smoker.  I'm going to make a small batch. Serve with Sriracha sauce. Talk about a true bi-regional Cajun/Pennsylvania Dutch cuisine. IF I survive, I'll report back with the results.
