OT: you're a true Pennsylvanian if you've eaten 20/28 of these foods...

Checking in with 25/28.
I can at least get Utz here in South Carolina but they damn sure aren't Middleswarth. Nothing comes close. I emailed them a while back to see if I could somehow purchase just the BBQ seasoning to use as a rub for grilling/smoking but got no response. I will keep trying until they at least tell me no.
Any PA food list that doesn't include pork and sauerkraut is incomplete. It's a New Years Day tradition.
I'll take my scrapple crispy, on a bed of potatoes O'Brien with a couple of over easy eggs on top.

I need to get up to Kutztown next spring. Would love to check out one of those church dinners.
The PADutch style hot bacon dressing is not just good for dandelion, it also works well for lettuce, spinach and arugula for the fancy pants among us.
I used to be able to it like a champ!! Now when I go 'home' they say I sound like I'm from the South. But people here, still ask if I am from PA!! go figure.
Mallow Cups are awesome but I hated Smoothies.
Do you remember the money/coin cards you got with them?
You collected them and then after a certain amount you sent them in and then they sent you a box of mallow cups.
19/28... Lactose intolerant, can't do ice cream...
... thick slice of scrapple crispy on the outside on a sammich with an over easy egg and cheese...
Herr's potato chips, Nottingham (Chester County).
Remember Charles Chips being delivered in big metal cans
Trouble with cheesesteaks anywhere outside of the Phila. area is the rolls...
Pork sammich at the Reading market...
Shoofly pie I still get at the Springs in Somerset County, or I can order one (I like wet bottom) from a local Amish bakery...

Sometimes when you get yourself pickled that's good, in a pickle that's bad, go figure.
My mom would make pierogies with prunes .. oh the humanity!
I suspect that she made them to help with the "process" after a meal of her pierogies with potatoes. I would love to try blueberry perogies.

Same here, I couldn't stand red beets.
I got 22 of these, there were a few I hadn't heard of and a few that I've had but don't miss (scrapple). Never even heard of a Pittsburgh salad, Texas tommy, burnt almond torte, Amish friendship bread or zucchini planks. Although I have had a steak salad and bacon and cheese hot dogs before but I didn't count them since I never heard them called these names before.

Chipped ham, or a ham barbecue sandwich would be a good addition to such a list.
My sister and cousin now have Philly accents to my ears. But they haven't changed. I have--been living in Ohio since 78.
guys Utz is made in Hanover PA the same place as Snyders, I used to bring cans of them to PSU from the factory, I think they're probably the largest chip maker in PA.
Only 13 for me. I'm from NE PA, I think where you are from probably has a lot to do with your score.
Seems like a good place to ask - does anyone know where to get green onion potato chips? Not sour cream and green onion dammit, just green onion. I used to eat Bickel's green onion chips when I was a kid and I loved them.

You mean like Schukie and Chen-do? One point if that's crick that runs tru your town.
Bickle's is still around, but they no longer make the green onion chips. My paternal grandfather practically lived on those and they were tasty.
Now you're talking. That was our go to beer in the bars in the late 70's. We loved dark beer and it was $1.75 a pitcher. Nothing could beat it for us.
I think that the Wegman's "Country Store" stuff is actually made out at the "Country Store" in Muncy. Well worth a trip. They seem to specialize in "casing products" (sausages etc.)

Klondikes originated from Isaly Dairy, which had its origins in Ohio. In the 1920's Isaly's expanded to Pittsburgh. Isaly's was huge in Youngstown and I used to go to the local one near my grandparents house to get a Klondike bar a lot when I was a kid. My father started working at an Isaly's in downtown Youngstown when he was 14 years old.
That is called lekvar and was my father's favorite kind. I had a lot of great cuisine growing up because one half of my family was Italian and the other Eastern European (mostly Ruthenian).
Where I come from it's considered "in the vicinity"
But technically speaking, their official address is in "Muncy"
Address: 607 Village Rd, Muncy, PA 17756

This is the address on their website.
Google says otherwise, but feel free to take your argument to them.

You do know that there is a difference between a "physical address" and a "mailing address", don't you?
I have eaten 22 of 28. Teaberry ice cream is my favorite and will agree with MtNittany on Eder's - always bring some back to Fairfax when I go visit family in Montoursville area. Also love me some scrapple with a couple of eggs over easy..
great thread
22/28
diefenbacher's chips anyone?
my grandmother made hot bacon/dandelion dressing, loved it

PSUTE - I found Charlie Chip's being sold again in the Williamsport area about 6 months ago.. little on the pricey side but think you're paying for the cans...19/28... Lactose intolerant, can't do ice cream...

Talk to the USPS.
You do know that this alleged "Pennsdale" is an "unincorporated community", don't you? As such, it is nothing more than an unimportant, unrecognized "dot on a map".
To demonstrate just how inconsequential Pennsdale is, I have linked for your benefit, the following
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pennsdale,_Pennsylvania
Kinda nothing

24. You can get a Texas Tommy (although I don't think they call them that) at Texas Hot Dogs in Altoona. Big fan of pickled red beet eggs AND red beets. Almost everyone else in the family say they taste like dirt. I like them a lot - serve hot or cold.
Scrapple is GREAT! Slice it real thin and fry it crispy.
I'll pass on the pig stomach. Don't like organ meats - liver and onions I know has a following, but I don't like it not a bit.
Someone mentioned City Chicken - LOVE city chicken!

Giant carries Bickel's pretzels. I eat them by the bag. Not sure about the chips though.
