Pennsylvania Dutch settlers had a problem, how to use every part of their precious livestock. Their ingenious solution, combining cornmeal with seasoned pork trimmings into a savory loaf. This waste not want not recipe became scrappled. America's first breakfast meat. On this National Scrappled Day, we celebrate how frontier resourcefulness turned leftovers into a beloved tradition. ♪ Scrappled ♪ ♪ The Scrappled ♪ ♪ The best meat to the land ♪ ♪ The Scrappled ♪ Scrappled just seems like something I would wanna try. I've never had it. ♪ I've never had it ♪ But I mean, I think you should definitely try it and then tell me how it is. - We'll do that, I'll send you a report. In 1803, a desperate French emperor needed quick cash for his wars. His tasty decision? Selling France's American territory for pennies and acre. Napoleon Bonaparte's fire sale became the Louisiana purchase, instantly doubling America's size for just $15 million. On this Louisiana day, we remember how one emperor's financial crisis gave America its heartland. - My favorite place in Louisiana has to beat New Orleans, hands down. - Never been. I had an opportunity to go once but a hurricane stopped it. - Okay, so you have to go because they have the best food literally in the world. - Some etude fey and some gumbo. - Oh my gosh, and then listen, I could go on and on, but literally everything there is amazing. I found like this hole in the wall place and I was like sketchy, but the best fish, and it came in like a foil, a folded foil, and it was like amazing, it's crazy. - Okay, I'm on the next flight. (laughs) I think I'm going with you. I'm Latoya Johnson. - I'm Chris Van de Venter. - Thank you for joining us on our journey to celebrate everyday.
