This past weekend I took a trip to Pennsylvania, Harrisburg specifically, for both business and fun.
No the title does not imply that it was a bad trip. What it really refers to is the fact that a lot of food there often has some form of pretzel to it.
My first venture was in a small diner near my hotel. I had a sandwich with ham, bacon and bbq sauce on a pretzel roll/bun. That was good
But my favorite was this place called Duke's which is a Riverfront joint. They serve as an appetizer a large pretzel smothered with their own crab dip and cheese then baked! OMG! it was soooooo good.
I was told that a lot of the pretzel dishes come from the Amish/Dutch influence. That said I have to mention one of the dish that I tried that's from the Amish kitchens, it was a dessert (of course king of the sweet tooth had to try it.) it's called "Shoo Fly Pie." This is also good. and apparently it's one of those things that people either love or hate. I loved it. the filling is much like a pecan pie, but instead of nuts on the top, it has a crumb top...HMMM!
Just wanted to share,
Sincerely,
Pharaoh
