This sandwich screams New Jersey. I would KILL for a real Italian Dog on real Pizza bread. It's funny - sorta - that what I miss the most about my home state is the food and the bread...

If I ever ate something like that at my age, I wouldn't know whether to reach first for my nitro tabs or the Alka-Seltzer
ReplyDeleteI moved away from my home state a year or two ago. I'm impressed with how little I miss it. The only people I would have missed all moved at roughly the same time. I don't miss anyone still there. I don't miss the little town. I certainly don't miss the state politics.
ReplyDeleteJersey City kid here, graduated two years before you, Mr. ex-Newark (and I had beaucoup Newark friends, from Down Neck on out to Anthony Imperiale's ward, plus my pipe-smoking Dad would buy pipes only from Newark's Schoenleber's pipe shop at 26 Branford Pl. - go ahead, DuckDuckGo on Schoenleber hadmade pipes).
ReplyDeleteEscaped Jersey just over thirty years ago, since lived in the much less Leftist-wingnut-oppressive Midwest, but out here they don't know what a hard roll is, or how deliciously it flakes, crunches, and tastes. They never heard of Taylor Ham/pork roll, and out here you can't find Thomas Date Nut loaf, or applesauce cake, or good rye bread (best kind here is Beefsteak, which will do, but it ain't the real deal either). Out here my city has a lovely Italian section, and the Italian cuisine here has its own well-deserved merits yet it's not quite like Jersey Italian (but one Italian bakery here does have bread as good as Jersey Italian bread).
Dickie Dee's or Jimmy Buffs???
ReplyDeleteEither one will do you know that
DeleteAnd maybe finish with a lemon ice from ting a ling????
DeleteI live in Florida. The bread here is made for people with no teeth.

ReplyDeletei escaped NJ in 1973. Hit Denver on a college vacation and stayed in the 300+ days of sunshine a year. It took 20 years for real pizza to get here and nobody has the slightest idea what a hard roll is.
I grew up in Passaic , so for me , if it isn't from Rutt's Hut , it's not a real hot dog !
