Well, probably not scrapple per se, since it calls for corn[maize]meal,
but it occurs to me that there may be a relationship between "sulte",
"sylte", and the German "suelze", which is another brawn variant, as I
recall, similar to head cheese, and still eaten today in various parts
of America under the name "souse" or "souse meat".

Okay, Ras, time to have our semi-annual discussion on head cheese and
souse, huh? ;  )

BTW, have we learned the context for use of the word "sulte"? Are we
sure it is a noun, and does the throat meat from a pig not fit?
