So, What's wrong with Pennsylvania food? (5.00 / 0) (#72)

Seriously.

You know you're in Pennsylvania when:
 - seven sweets and seven sours comprises a balanced diet;
 - chow-chow is a favored side dish in the diner;
 - apple butter and cottage cheese is also a diner side;
 - pickled cantaloupe is a treasured delicacy;
 - sausage forms one of the four basic food groups;
 - you can tell which meal it is, by what is served with the scrapple;
 - dunking anything into your coffee is not only accepted, but expected;
 - donuts are properly known as fastnachts;
 - your waitress comments intelligently on the distinctions between the chef's wet bottom and dry bottom shoo-fly pies;
 - hot bacon dressing is the house's salad dressing;
 - there's first breakfast and second breakfast.

And, oh, yeah.  You work so darn hard, you're still skinny even after eating all that and more.

Tasty Kakes and Wise potato chips!  Oh, and the pretzels too...
