You forgot the most iconic food of all! Shame on you! Lebanon and sweet Lebanon bologna should be right up there with scrapple! Also ketchup is also used by many on scrapple..... Mustard as well...especially when made into a sandwich. Lebanon bologna sandwich: butter a slice of homemade bread, spread on horseradish add the meat. Garden lettuce and thin sliced onion optional. Hot: meat, horseradish, Muenster cheese. Put in broiler pan and leave open faced to melt the cheese. Fry the bologna and make a sandwich! Fry it and eat it with eggs! You also forgot Taylor's pork roll!

My family came from the Bangor area, so we are Eastern PA. My maternal grandfather was a family farm PA Dutchman. They had a cow for a pet, and made their own Sauerkraut and Apple Cider Vinegar and of course, Chow Chow. To anyone who cringes at the thought of Pork Chops and Sauerkraut. It is the easiest and most delicious meal to make and I guarantee you will never eat a moister pork chop than after it's been marinating in Sauerkraut for a few hours. We had church dinners where they would do this in large batches. Season your pork chops with salt. Put them in a slow cooker and cover them liberally with sauerkraut. Let it slow cook for a few hours. That's it. We always used to eat them with mashed potatoes and brown gravy. It really doesn't get better than that.

I grew up on the edge of Philadelphia and we ate soft pretzels all the time. We never considered them to be Pennsylvania dutch. We also ate scrapple in the 1960s 70s it was invented in Philadelphia not by the Pennsylvania dutch. Chicken pot pie was invented in greece, whoopie pie was invented in the state of Maine. I do like ham balls and had them a few years ago for the first time at Shady Maple Buffet, but the internet says that the ham balls were actually invented in Iowa. I go to the local farmers market and the Amish are in the inside selling their food and desserts. They make some really good chicken scampi drenched in garlic and I like their cream cheese cupcakes. All in all I like Pennsylvania Dutch food but it's not my favorite. I still like my seafood and my juicy steaks better! Oh and I do like Pennsylvania Dutch filling with the potatoes and I just made some a couple days ago and ate it with my meatloaf, all drenched in gravy of course! 👍🏻👍🏻😂

Homemade noodles, any meat-though chicken, ham, beef, and squirrel were the most common growing up- onions, carrots....I miss PA.

I am from Allentown, PA. I went to a diner with a salad bar. Of course I was going to get cottage cheese with apple butter. However, when I went to get the cottage cheese, it looked too runny. I asked the waitress if that cottage cheese was ok. She said she would test it herself. she scooped an unnecessarily large scoop of the "cottage cheese" then she said, in her PA Dutch accent "I can't eat cottage cheese without apple butter" She added the apple butter and put it in her mouth. Her reaction was the best. She painfully swallowed and announced that the cottage cheese was, in fact, chucky blue cheese salad dressing!

There are no Amish or Pennsylvania Dutch in Philadelphia or in Bucks County you would have to get in the car and drive at least 50 Miles West. I could think back through my life and for many many decades and all the hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of people that I know and knew, and I can't think of one person who said oh I'm going to go eat some Pennsylvania Dutch food. It just never happened. Everybody was eating American food and Italian food and Chinese food and some Polish food, seafood and steakhouses, everything but Amish Dutch food. Not far from where I grew up was historical Washington's Crossing and a British looking town called New Hope Pennsylvania. It's a tourist town and there's like a hundred restaurants and almost all the food is Gourmet, food like beef wellington and Filet Au Poivre, fancy sauteed dishes. In the same area is Peddler's Village and right across the river is Lambertville New Jersey there are restaurants everywhere there is no such thing as Pennsylvania Dutch food in any of those areas.

@@ElleLiving rivels are simply little dough balls drop in soup as it boils. Can make just flour and water, or lard (Crisco) and flour. You won’t regret them.

Thanks so much 😊👍 So I wondered about the origin of caramel corn bc I wasn’t aware that it was a PA Dutch food. It is from Germany but the 2 brothers that invented it settled in Chicago 😉👍.

I grew up in Southwestern Chester County (West Grove then Kennett Square) and have been eating these foods since I was in a highchair. The only foods I avoid on this list are the stewed tomatoes on Mac and Cheese (acid reflux), Liver and Onions (thank god my mother hated it so we never had it when I was a kid and (maybe shockingly) ham balls. I've never gotten a taste for ham balls or ham loaf and I'm not 100% sure why. I'll get one at Shady Maple or Duth-Way or any other buffet and the first bite is fine but I can't get through the whole piece. My girlfriend who's not a big fan of meat (she was vegetarian for a while) ate Scrapple even when she was vegetarian. The Scrapple had to be cooked supper crispy and she would eat it with either ketchup or syrup. I wonder if there is a particular spice in the stewed tomatoes that is turning on my acid reflux because I like ketchup on Mac and cheese. The chicken corn soup reminds me of going to my dad's softball games back in the early 70s and having warm chicken corn soup from the concession stand on a cool Spring evening. Of course, I'd have to beg mom for a whoopie pie at the same time. Thanks for bringing back some old memories, I miss Mom and Dad, but I can still get the food we shared back in the day.

This is so precious! Thanks for sharing these really special memories! I was literally picturing the sound of ball game and getting soup to warm you up. So cool. 😊😊😍😍 And I literally laughed out loud at your ketchup and Mac n cheese comment! 😂😂. It’s fun to hear what people like and don’t like. My mom DID make me eat liver when I was a kid but only once or twice 😂😂🤪🤪 still can’t stand it! Thanks again!!

@@richardgazinia5482 I will look further into this to make sure my info is correct but sadly it’s almost all gone. However, “Smokehouse BBQ and Brews along 340 does offer it but they may have party size stipulations. They used to be “Plain & Fancy” but are now the BBQ joint. ALSO, next year in 2024, Hershey Farm will reopen after the rebuild and they will be offering it in addition to their buffet!

Interesting, Joan 😊 I know of Beehive cake and cracker pudding and I think I know what cup cheese is though not positive. I didn’t realize baked oatmeal was a PA Dutch thing ☺️👍. Do you get any of these at any of the restaurants and if so which ones? I have seen cracker pudding at some but not sure about the others? And I actually am not a fan of homemade root beer 🤪 sorry! I tried it but just don’t like it though I don’t drink soda normally ☺️☺️. Thanks for this list. I will have to look for these when I am in Lancaster:) 👍👍

@@ElleLiving Bricklerville House in Lititz makes a great baked oatmeal. and has different flavors throughout the year. Most of the farm markets in the area carry it also. Harvest Lane Farm Market in Lititz and Village Farm Market in Ephrata both make excellent oatmeal. Village Farm Market usually has cup cheese, cracker pudding and corn pie. The beehive cake I have only seen at Roots Farmers Market though probably some bakeries in the area make it. So excited for Spring in Lancaster County all the greenhouses will soon be open with all the beautiful flowers. My favorite time of year,

There is a farm on Rt. 340 that has a fantastic homemade root beer. If you drive on 340 it's on the outskirts of Intercourse and between Intercourse and Bird in Hand. Make sure they have their "OPEN" flag at the end of the drive before you go up to the farm. The flag is out most Fridays and Saturdays in the summer.

Thank you so much, Steve, for sharing!! Loved reading all of it 😊. Where do you order that sampler of whoopie pies from? I make them sometimes and hand them out and people do love them. But they do take a good amount of time, especially the mini ones 😆! stewed tomatoes are one of my favs for sure! I have never had them on buttered noodles but I can see how that would be good! And you aren’t the first one to say that these videos make them miss Lancaster 🤩 I feel the same way. It’s both nice to “see” Lancaster when we can’t be there but then it can make us homesick for it 🥰 thanks for all your sharing and support!
