Top 10 Trout Streams in PA (only name brands)

Dear Board,

Doesn't anyone but me eat the "Blazing Saddles" breakfast of fried Spam and beans anymore? 😉

Regards,

Tim Murphy 🙂
 

Here's another option for breakfast, breakfast pierogies...

I buy pierogies from my local butcher made by a woman in Hellertown, PA who has a business called Fork'd Pierogies.

I took a trip to her business specifically to get some of the breakfast pierogies and they are EXCELLENT!!

No need for boiling either, if they are frozen, just thaw completely and saute in butter in a covered pan (so the filling gets heated throughout.

If you are headed to the Saucon, make a point to look up Abbey and Fork'd Pierogies. You WON'T be disappointed. Try your favorites, something new and try some of the breakfast pierogies.

I tried haggis when I was in Scotland last year. If you don’t think about what it is or how it’s cooked in, it’s delicious. 🤣

I had a USA version made at a Scottish pub and I liked it a lot but it is no longer on the menu. 🙁

However, I'm not sure if contained any sheep lung. 😉

That reminds me, I'm dying to try some Hog Maw or Seimaage when my wife isn't looking...
 
Anybody else a fan of "country ham" with breakfast...?

How about ham biscuits or biscuits & gravy?

Other than Cracker Barrel, I don't know any restaurants "up north" that have any of the above on the menu. I always stock up on country ham when I'm in Virginia or I buy packaged stuff at a very few stores near me. When I'm in Carlisle I can also usually find it at the Giant on Spring Garden Street.

I have a few packages of country ham in my freezer as we speak. 😉

I love the stuff with eggs or ham biscuits and biscuits & gravy by themselves for breakfast!!

While we're talking about Southern treats, how about some fried cloth bologna with some eggs or with mustard on a bun for lunch!!
I thought biscuits and gravy was a universal breakfast food throughout the land.

I’ve even had it in Alaska.

Bam, if you are ever down in Montco PA near the border with Bucks Co, town called Hatboro. Diner called Daddy Pops. Biscuits and gravy, EPIC.
 
I am not sure how we went from getting mad about TTC asking about our top 10 trout name brand trout streams to naming places I would rather not see named here in the same thread, but it would be great if we could stop.
I'm not stopping until Neshaminy Creek, Darby Creek, and Wissahickon Creek show up in this thread.

I'd rather 10 trout rivers get named than all my favorite foods and places to eat getting burned.
 
This is straight from Taylor's website. New Jersey DOES prefer to call it Taylor ham, but not by that big of a margin! Their website also shows it for sale at my local Giant!

As someone who grew up in suburban Philly, it all about the bread and I AIN'T talking Amoroso...

Great bread and mediocre "meats" (as they say in South Philly) still trumps good meats & mediocre bread. Great bread and good meats is a MASTERPIECE!!

I call it the "Bad Bread Belt," a swath of lousy bakeries just above Delco that runs across PA where the hoagie rolls suck or people make it worse by making their own with pizza dough in a pizza oven... 👎

I guess if that's what you like or are used to it's fine, but I won't order or eat a hoagie from anywhere in the Bad Bread Belt or from Wegman's or some other local "hoagie shop." It just ain't the same.

It would be like trying to fool myself and buying Johnsonville brats or kielbasa versus real deal brats from the Alpine in Honesdale or kielbasa from Kowalonek's in Chendo.

Ain't happenin'...

There's no top 10 trout streams nearby, but if you are ever in Delco and want a reference point, try one of the Italian hoagies at Cut Above in Newtown Square (Sarcone's rolls) or the "#1 Imported Italian" at Pagano's in Drexel Hill (Fontana Panetteria rolls).

Incredible hoagies...
What's the roll if not Amoroso's?
