Just had some Schmalz's Kielbasy. Springfield, NJ
Excellent, tasty and juicy. I'll get that again. Pricey but worth

There are several places within even 20 minutes that I can get sausage
like that - a pork store, that is a butcher shop, too, of course, but
there is a good-sized community of Polish immigrants in this part of
NJ and I have found some terrific kielbasa at various delis.

Alas, my favorite store, where you could see the smoke house if you
drove around the block, closed down. I think the owner's very elderly
father was keeper of the recipes and master smoker and when he went,
the place just did not last long.

Someone who worked for one of my husband's customers, makes his own,
old-world sausage. I'd send jam or bread and get back some great
stuff, though his venison version was a bit dry.

I had when that happens. There was a called Judy' Bakery that had the
best butter tarts I have ever tasted. I used to ride my bicycle down
there, 4 km round trip, and figured I could reward myself by buying a
package of them to bring home. Judy got sick and the place closed down.
After a couple weeks he daughter daughter took over running it. She had
most of the the products that Judy have made, but not the butter tarts.
Her mother would not give her the recipe. Judy recovered a bit and they
had butter tarts again. It didn't last long. She relapsed and died,
taking her recipe with her. Since they were one of the biggest sellers
in the bakery it just didn't survive without them.

The area from Philadelphia to New York has some great kielbasa. Given
where it is from, chances are it is good stuff. Best I ever had came
from New York.
https://schmalzs.com/


One of my concerns about moving to Florida was the good ethnic food we
had on a regular basis. Turns out, there is lots of good stuff here and
it is strongly influenced by transplants from the Northeast. A pizza
place near me was excellent. Turns out, the owner had a pizza place in
NY. The supermarket carries Taylor pork roll and Habbersett's scrapple,
Ray's NY bagels (frozen). There is an Italian restaurant we've not
tried yet but they go on about their authentic Sicilian dishes. Turns
out the chef/owner is from New Jersey.

I looked at the link you provided and I see that the kielbasy got
great reviews. I'd tried kielbasa a couple of times while I lived out
here and thought why bother. I might as well as been eating cheap
hotdogs. This stuff was different. I'm glad I brought it home.

yah! we know someone who knows someone, alas i
really don't like the recipe they use so i'd rather
they didn't give it to us but someone else who
could eat it.

my favorite Polish sausage is made by Kryziak's
in Bay City. plenty of garlic so i can enjoy the
burps the rest of the day. :) they used to get
some at my local grocery store but now we have to
drive over to Bay City to pick up our own - luckily
we usually have to go there once in a while anyways
so it isn't an extra trip.

The especially bad bad part in this case was that the tarts were
exceptional. There are lots of places that claim to make the best butter
tarts, but none of them compared to Judy's. One friend was raving about
a place she knows and brought some for us to try. They were about three
times the price and they were nowhere near as good.

Here in St Louis MO there's the neighborhood The Hill, south STL CITY where many European immigrants came in the 1900 WHITE immigration rush, when 3 of my 4 grandparents came over from Germany.

Often it's not only the "recipe" it's also the artisan! The last days I worked at the donut shop on weekends only as I was starting engineering school a lady who worked there took some of the donuts I'd made to her kids and she told me later that her kids exclaimed "Hey Mom! These taste just like the donuts from the old shop", the ONLY difference was who made them! The old shop was demolished and Danny Donuts reopened for it's final daze in a small strip mall across the street!

Watered down? All wild game is a bit dry on it's own.
Just add a bit of fat to bring it back around.

when I watch a program like Diners, Drive-ins and Dives and we're back
in the kitchen with the chef assembling his signature sauce or 3-step
cooking method for something, I realize why it is practically
impossible to duplicate an item from a restaurant or bakery. There's
a lot of stuff going on behind the scenes.

That's one of the things I have to do if I ever get to NYC: eat at an Italian restaurant. Any small family place with good food and where everybody minds his business is fine.

We have a Spaghetti Factory restaurant over here. I don't care much for that. It's too big, the food is no good, and everybody's nosy.

We have a Spaghetti Factory here, too, downtown in one of the 100+ year old
row of buildings. It's been there well over 20 years and it's been that long
since I've eaten there but when I did it was quite good. Maybe the quality
has gone downhill, I don't know, however 'everybody's nosy' was not a problem
either.

Why do you care if others overeat there? Perhaps that is their
only meal of the day. Regardless, it's not your concern in any
way.

I don't know about Nancy2 or Jill, but I'd rather occasionally
read about politics here than about people getting diarrhea.

Ever seen that recent tv commercial with 3 guys dressed in pink
singing about diarrhea? How annoying and stupid is that one? I

Had lunch at Cheesecake Factory today, loved the Tex Mex rolls,
the fish and chips with great slaw, no complaints here.

Eating at a Burger King restaurant makes me feel bad. Beats the heck out of me what causes that. I think it's their burgers.

no, but i don't cook like that. the odd stir fry i make and i don't use commercial sauces. just a bit of low sodium soy sauce. ginger/garlic/green onion and all that. it'f funny. i can eat commercial pizza and not have that problem. that stuff is supposed to have much sodium/msg.

I propose that seating at the Cheesecake Factory be segregated by race. Asian and black folks would sit in special booths that have Port-a-potties built into the booths. That would help us a lot.

I won't disagree that people on this rock overeat. OTOH, it's probably all relative. My sister-in-law once said that there didn't seem to be any fat people here. I found that statement to be startling because I see them everywhere.

OTOH, Hawaii has one of the lowest rates of obesity in the nation despite having a large population of heavyweight Pacific Islanders. Those guys are big, big, big! Anyway, this does not bode well for the mainlanders if we're considered to be relatively lightweight.

I don't have a problem with cheese. Cheesecake is another matter. Maybe it's the high fat, sugar, and lactose content - the perfect diarrhea storm?

Lactose intolerance can do that.

I guess it can't be that then!! Well, it seems there is no answer other
than to avoid it, which you, very sensibly, are:)

If you like the the kind of things they make, you could make them yourself?
Why not give it a go?

ramble zone...

dunno, but for sure i'd not eat there again...
i don't like those type of places because their
sauces all taste about the same and are often too
much sugar/salt and not actually anything i'd
call real flavors or interesting.

for me there are places we avoid because they put
spices on their food we can't tolerate (Mom gets
blisters from black/white/green pepper corns) but
for myself Starbucks coffee and Hardee's burgers.
in both cases i gave them two tries and each time
they made me sick so i've never gone back.

dunno what it was in their products that hated
me.

by contrast i've been to our favorite chinese
place several hundred or a few thousand times over
the years and i've rarely had problems with their
food (i don't really eat chicken that often any
more due to problems from eating it in the past
but i will sometimes have their sweet and sour
chicken without it bothering me).

generally i don't eat out that often at all -
like less than once a month on average unless i'm
on the road - which i've not been the past whiles...

in the end we cook pretty well here and so often
we get such better results for the $ that it makes
little sense for us to eat out.

sadly, my last batch of beans i made two kinds
and by the time i got to the second batch it started
to ferment so i fertilized the lilac tree with those.
i just hope the ones i put in the freezer will be ok.

I know that feeling. I find it hard to resist a proper, baked cheese
cake, but those refrigerated types just aren't worth it for me.

I have no problem with any cheesecake but my best ever was:

Baked homemade chocolate chip cookies one day.
Next day made a crust with them and butter.
Filled in with vanilla cheesecake filling.
Baked and yum. Best ever.
