Amish Snacks in Philadelphia
The Philadelphia City Paper's Margaret Battistelli lists five delicious Amish treats and where best to get them in the area. My tastebuds are all a-flutter at her description of the Stoltzfus Bakery's wet-bottom shoofly pie, "like two desserts in one — a buttery coffee cake laid over a thick, sweet sludge made of brown sugar, butter and molasses. It's better than the cakier dry-bottom version, and sweet enough to make your teeth ache on contact."

oh than god they mentioned those pretzels. I dream about them. Fantasize about them. Doughy, buttery, salty and served with their homemade mustard, they're one of the most perfect snack foods on the face of the earth.

I am all amished out. The only thing I love is their chicken salad. It's less than 5 dollars a pound and I crave it. I don't care if I see another shoofly pie ever. Of course I live near the amish so it was cute for a bit.
