Scrapplefest at Reading Terminal Market today

Scrapplefest! at the Reading Terminal Market, 10:00 - 4:00.

I, uh, have other plans, so I'm afraid I'll have to skip this year.

OK, see, the deal is I've been a vegetarian since the mid-1990s, though now I'm merely mostly vegetarian, since I'll eat seafood every once in a while. That said, I was not a vegetarian, by any stretch of the imagination, when I was a kid. That said, I didn't spend my formative years in the Philadelphia area -- so I was never properly introduced to the putative epicurean glory of scrapple until I was old enough to ask what it's made of, and then say, "You have to be kidding."
