Jim: Ham, cheese, and mushroom omellette, English muffin, fried potatoes, tomato juice, coffee

Two days in a row having scrapple is not too much for me. It's one of those foods we don't have in Texas, so I take advantage of the opportunity when I can. (We bought two packs to bring home with us in our cooler.) Jim had a tasty omellette, taunting his mother with mushooms, which she can't stand to see.

A trip to Philadelphia wouldn't be complete without breakfast with scrapple. The Red Robin Diner is just a block away from Jim's parents' house, so it's our favorite place to go. The service is always great. The cost of the breakfast includes the juice and coffee. Can't beat it!

Another must stop on any trip to Philly -- this diner is right around the corner from my parents' home, and they treated us to breakfast for our surprise visit. Scrapple is number one on the menu for a reason. Some think this is the same as "liver mush" sold in the wilds of North Carolina, but there is no similarity beyond the shape and how it is cooked (fried). The coffee was also great, and the service, with that wonderful Philly accent, is another treat.

9:45 - 10:40 AM

Ramona: #2 (Scrambled egg, home fries, scrapple, orange Juice, whole wheat toast, coffee)

Jim: #4 (2 eggs, sunny side up, scrapple (ordered, sausage eaten), home fries, rye toast, tomato juice, coffee

Another favorite of my parents and us. Ramona has fallen in love with Scrapple, which, by the way, is nothing like "liver mush" of Southern fame. Scrapple is tasty and has a bit of a spicy flavor, while liver mush is, well, mushy. Even though I did not get what I ordered, I kept it, becuase I have eaten at Red Robin many, many times over the years, and I knew the sausage would be good.
