Chicken and dumplings, southern style: Way more veggies than the great aunt uses. My dad never used as many in his recipes, either. I use a lot more, and often use this recipe to get rid of leftovers.

It's spiced beef and cabbage wrapped up in dough. They tear me up but I know Runza has some serious die hard followers. Runza is the trademarked name of the fast food chain that serves them but I believe the dish was brought to the area by German immigrants. A friend of mine makes a vegan version of this with seitan. Yum!

Way more veggies than the great aunt uses. way more veggies than I have ever seen, but it looks awesome. It does, but I'm having a hard time wrapping the brain around veggies in chicken and dumplings. There's 2 ingredients in it here and they're both in the name. I should probably get on with learning how she makes hers (then I can add all the veggies to the yumminess that she teaches me), since at 96 she won't be here to tell me for much longer. (Although she's been telling us that since I was a kid)

Nope. I lifted it from a Wiki article on Chicago style pizza - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago-style_pizzaIt looks almost exactly like one I used to get on the south side growing up. The next time we order a pizza from our current favorite I'll have to take a food porn shot and post it here...

No, it's not cherry preserves. It has wine in it, for one thing, and is made with tapioca. It can be as sweet, or as tart as you wish it to be.

The only place I will ever eat scrapple is in PA. They don't put all the fillers in it. Plus they slice it thin & fry it crispy served with apple butter.

They aren't even comparable and it is possible to like both.

I've had pizza in its birth place They don't have to say "italian" pizza for people to know what style pizza they are talking about! give my a slice from napoli any day.

Gravy fries! Lol. Tastykakes are made in Philly, but are finally being enjoyed outside the regions. :-) I used to drive past the old factory at my old job; oh man the smell of the cherry pies baking in the morning was awesome! Butterscotch krimpets and peanut butter kandy kakes rule!

We were driving through PA from Baltimore up towards Easton (his family is near Phillipsburg) in February and stopped to gas up and get snacks at this little gas station with a mini mart out in the sticks. They had a huge tastykakes display and DH bought a whole bag, haha! They are pretty good though
