I'm from PA and my stepdad always ate Scrapple with King syrup. Anyone ever heard of that?
And I make homemade potpie, but my husband said he never had it without the crust. To me, if there is a crust involved, it's a meatpie.
Spain (my last trip there was with my father who is no longer with us and I have great memories)
Italy (my grandmother was from Italy and I've been yearning to go there for years)
England (my husband and I spent our honeymoon there in 1999)
Prime rib, onion rings, sweet potato fries and baked Alaska with my dad, my stepdad and my husband in my house.
Definitely has to be Tony Bourdain.
Onion soup with low sodium beef broth and no cheese
King Crab legs
Switzerland to try wonderful fondues
England for real fish & chips
Australia for Barramundi
Thanks to Martha Stewart's Living, I learned that quartered green tomatoes are perfect for pickling in left over pickle juice. Yum!
i love pickle juice, probably because I have hypothyroidism and addison's disease. But I love salty things. The pickle juice martini is like a really good dirty martini (which is usually just olive juice and either gin or vodka). I've seen little cans of pickle juice in the supermarket but have yet to try it.
My relatives down there would serve salads with this Pennsylvania Dutch dressing that was sweet and sour. I remember that it had hex sign artwork on the bottle. It was really good, especially on a spinach salad with bacon and mushrooms.
Scrapple is delicious! I would love to have a freezer full of some bacon, egg and cheese bread from Shady Maple Market. Makes fantastic toast. Utz potato chips are good if you prefer crispy, but not too salty.
I was surprised the first time I saw PA Dutch chicken pot pie - huge noodles and no crust. I like crust. The firehouses have special oyster dinners - they're cooked in milk and I can't remember if they're called soup or stew.
Fasnacht! aka Fat or Shrove Tuesday. The day before Ash Wednesday. Pig out on donuts and use up the oils, butter and sugar for lent.
I fell in love with German crusty rolls way back when, and finally was able to find a similar kind of roll in Lancaster County... god only knows which market it was in, but it was worth it! Since then I've been tempted over and over again to make do with crusty rolls from supermarkets, but they're never exactly what I remember from Germany.
So I'd say go ahead and grab a few rolls from an Amish market, because they're almost definitely not the parbaked kind they sell at Kroger. :)
We run a Girls Softball League Concession Stand and sell the clausen pickles, but also we freeze the juice in sauce cups and the kids go NUTS over Picklecicles!!! In 3 weeks time we have gone thru over 150 picklecicles. Now if we can just get them to buy the pickles, so we can buy more juice!!! We need to figure out how to make homemade pickle juice??
