Your favorite Buffalo Foods

[35Pete]

What are your favorites? I am bringing coastal the following when we meet up at the Tampa game. I can get them down here from a local Bufalo-owned importer.

Chivetta's BBQ Marinade
Salen's Hot Dogs
Frank's Hot Sauce
Weber's Mustard.
Ted's Hot Sauce

Can anyone think of anything else? Let me know. Coastal? (Don't worry, I'll pay the nickel on this one. It is called comaderie amongst Bills fans and fellow Buffalonians)

Coach. If you want some too then let me know. I'll get to you at the tailgate. Don't be shy now coach.

What foods from Buffalo do you really love?

[TRIPLE P]

I'd say Loganberry but thats not gonna be much good for tailgateing...

Unless coastal throws some of that Gay rum he likes in there

[Jeanneret's LaLaLa]

How about getting tons and tons of tacos from Mighty Taco, this guy behind me the other day who used to leive in Buffalo got 40 super mighty's so he could take them home and freeze them.

Good call. I need to see if some of the concentrate is sold there. I love that stuff!

[LVBillsfan]

Chicken Wings from anywhere; it's Buffalo!
Beef on Weck.
Louie's hotdogs with sauce.
Costanzo's peanut sticks.

[г]

If you can't get loganberry, I know they sell concentrate at IKEA

[Buffal0B1LLs_fan]

Without question, it's Beef on Weck.

I can emulate Wings, and Ted's Hot Dogs, even Mighty Taco (more or less) but you can't fake a Beef on Weck. You need to have the Kimelwick roll, and you can't really ship one anywhere.

The best I've been able to do is roast the prime rib with Rock salt, and caraway seed, and use a traditional roll and add horsehradish.

In any event anything I create is just not the same without being surrounded by Bills fans. :(

When we lived in CA my Dad would bring back Kimelwick rolls back whenever he vistited here.

Our Xmas care package was always raw pepperoni, plus orange and sponge candy.

[PUCKER]

Chiavettas
Mighty Taco - I love the Nacho Deluxe!
wings from anywhere - Buffalo wings and I especially love Wing Dings!

[Napalm]

Whenever my parents come up from North Carolina, they always bring back with them Polish And Italian Sausage along with Chivetta's and Salen's Dogs.

[Billsman]

I love perogies :D

Oh yeah!!!!

[sukie]

How about that beef chicken chowder the drunken firemen used to sell to make money... that stuff rocks!!!

[Victor7]

Never actually had it but I've heard plenty of Buffalonians praise Mighty Taco, so that would be sweet Pedro.

[35Pete]

I have had authentic mexican food (in Mexico City) and Mighty Taco is NOT mexican at all. But damn are their tacos and burritos tasty!

[rob on the job]

Well, they aren't from Buffalo per se, but how about:

* The Garbage Plate from Nick Tahou's in Rochester

* Dinosaur Barbecue Sauce from Syracuse

[coastal]

I love mustard and I think Weber's is a great mustard.

Aside from that, here's some "Buffalo" food I just ate...

I just picked up some ground buffalo from Publix, seasoned it with fresh ground pepper, salt and garlic powder, made patties out of em, cooked em' to a perfect medium in the cast iron, toasted wheat hamburger rolls, melted some sharp cheddar on the burgers, painted ketchup on one bun and mayo on the other (not too much of either)...

unfrieking believable.

[The REAL Sabres]

Cheers. To friends. Can you get Blue down there? It's imported from Canada daily.

As far as food...

Bison chip dip
original Pizza Logs
Icelandic fish
(the pierogis mentioned by sue) Nowinski's or Redlinski's
Spud Buddy potatoes

and, of course

Miller's Horsey Sauce

[Victor7]

This has nothing to do with food but if either Pete or coastal could get me the Bills 2004 yearbook it'd be great !!! I'll pay for it when we meet or use paypal if you have it. Can either one of you guys do it ?

[Merk]

Great call on the garbage plate




Possibly the greatest drunk food ever



Still great when your sober too

Where do I get it? And Victor you are going to LOVE Salen's Hot Dogs and Chiavetta's chicken. This stuff rocks!

[sukie]

Another food that's hard to find anywhere are those warm peanut stick donuts. AND a Buffalo Steak and Cheese sub... man, when you can't get 'em you love 'em (cheesburger subs only exist up there too.)

[rob on the job]

Gotta get this -- an entire generation of Western New Yorkers grew up drinking this stuff underaged, and therefore didn't have real beer for years.

Rob... I have massive abdominal distention just looking at that... LOL

I drank that swill by the gallon from 1975-1980 ... don't know how I survived.

[sukie]

Then the natural progression for me was OV splitts by the case

[rob on the job]

Hey JW -- do you know that it is damn near impossible to get OV Splits in my area anymore? The closest place is Beers of the World in Rochester -- 60 miles to the north?

[sukie]

Actually, i was surprised that I can't find OV period in my old Oliver Street , N.T. haunts when i visit.. used to be a staple and Mulligan's used to sell them case full of ice.

[г]

Ewwww, Old Vagina


Mulligans ? Was that at the top of the Elmwood strip ?

[sukie]

No, The Brick Bar, near or in Allentown... Might still be Elmwood...been gone 20yrs and mental GPS has failed.

[г]

OK...it had a brick floor and you didn't want to fall down on the dance floor because everyone smached their OV splits on the floor, right ? There was like a bar with spider webs on the roof across the street ?

I think I was there in a drunken stupor one night @ 15-16 yrs ago.

[sukie]

yeah... anyone remember Uncle Sams on walden with the nickel drafts?

[г]

In 1990 we were in for a boys weekend Sabres/Penguins Friday and the Bills/Jets on Sunday. We stayed at the Lenox & our quest was to walk down Delaware to the Aud to a Sabres game from the hotel one Friday afternoon & we ran straight into happy hour.

We made it to the game by the second intermission. I think my buddy threw up in someone's purse at the game. We were a mess. Afterwards over to that Irish pub across from the Hilton and I brought this Polish dental student named Lisa from UB back to the Lenox.

In any case, we came back to this brick bar you speak of the next night & you mentioning the cases of OV splits with ice brings back memories. Cold beer, some nice tight college chicks back to the Lenox with us...the kind of night where legends are made :D

[sukie]

whacking material huh?

[г]

No...that was the beginning of my group of buddies' annual pilgramage to Buffalo. I had to tone it down a year later (got married) but I still did the night out/drinking part with my buds from then on, I just passed on the poon tang, LOL.

[nehemiah]

"college chicks" at brick bar? nah... it's more likely they were from sacred heart.

gotta check IDs when you go to brick bar.

[sukie]

is it still open?

[nehemiah]

is it still open?your best post yet! :rofl:

[Merk]

lololol That explains alot




Rob I dont know how could drink the Cream Ale it ranks up there w/ the worst beer I've ever had. I had a friend who did 6 in 10(6 beers in 10min for the younger crowd out there) w/ it and hes still almost vomits everytime he sees the can

What can I tell you, Merk? It was the late '70s and we were legal at 18 with not a lot of bucks. It was the closest thing to liquid dope.

Then I tried Old English 800 and Colt .45s and found out what real horse piss was all about.

[sukie]

then ther was Schidts in those stubby brown bottles that was readily available in every uncles basement fridge.

I think most us have learned a valuable lesson after drinking OE'S and Colt .45's............Dont

Oh hell yes. Koch's too.

Amen. Merk, how did we ever drink all that stuff and not turn our brain cells into non-functioning tissue?

[sukie]

Man, my polish uncles drank some crap... no one ever had budweiser or anything main stream... Schaeffer was another one. Never had a Koch's.

one thing about Creamers... good beer to learn how to chug. You just paid dearly for the education.

[Merk]

lolololol damned if I know

[sukie]

Anyone, as a kid, swill gallons of Jonny Ryan's cherry pop or gingerale... remember The Pop Shoppe?

[35Pete]

We used to get kegs from The Pop Shoppe for our high school parties. Anyone from Buffalo know if they are still around?

[г]

They were a Canadian outfit, and they're back

http://thepopshoppe.com/flash_site/main.html

OUR HISTORY
1969
The Pop Shoppe is born.

Two business-types from London, Ontario have a good idea; start making pop and sell it out of their own stores, called "The Pop Shoppe". This way they lose any middlemen and can sell it for a great price.

Wait, it gets better.

The returnable glass bottles ('stubbies') come in a red plastic case of 24. But, unlike the competition, you get to mix and match. Some of the original flavours were: Lime Ricky, Black Cherry, Sparkle Up and Festival Dry.

1972
The Pop Shoppe is a hit, and growing fast. By now they've opened 14 outlets in Ontario, and can't keep the Pop in stock. So they get help by selling to a big Toronto venture company. The future looks bright. And tasty.

1975
The Pop Shoppe keeps on growing. They now have stores in 11 US cities

They also get a new slogan: "You'll find our plants all over the country… never our Bottles". They're even saving the planet. Amazing.

1976
Eddie Shack joins The Pop Shoppe! (For those of you who aren't hockey buffs, Eddie Shack is a hockey legend. He played on the Toronto Maple Leafs for six seasons with someone else you might have heard of... Tim Horton).

1977
Sales of The Pop Shoppe hit 1 million bottles per day.

Captain Pop Shoppe (a cartoon Super Hero) and hockey star Henri Richard join The Pop Shoppe's team.


1978
The owner of the Edmonton Oilers, Peter Pocklington tries to buy The Pop Shoppe. No dice. The Pop Shoppe rolls on, but sales in the US are slowing down.

1983
After a few years of slow sales, The Pop Shoppe shares stop being traded on February 3rd. It's a sad day. Although head office is no longer, some Pop Shoppes stay around, but close over the next few years.

2002
An entrepreneur named Brian Alger resurrects The Pop Shoppe. Brian had grown up on The Pop Shoppe and was very keen on bringing it back, and getting into mainstream stores. Work began on formulating the same great tasting pop that the brand was known for.

2004
The re-launch begins in the summer, launching as a premium soda brand with four initial Pop Shoppe classics and made available through retail stores and many food service operations.

2005
Three more Pop Shoppe classics are added to the line-up. Marketing efforts are underway to let consumers know The Pop Shoppe is back. Watch for an original 1978 VW Van for events throughout the summer. With everything seventies being in again and the great taste of Pop Shoppe, it’s a perfect time for a revival.

I wish i could find the Green Screamers out here in Arizona. I havent been able to find Cream Ale out here for about 5 years now. I am ecstatic there is a TEDS HOT DOGS out here! Finally a place i can get Webers!

I miss Curly Q Fries - There was this place in Derby that had some of the best when i lived there.

Also (not really "buffalo" food) but i wish i could find Coffee Crisp and Aero candy bars out here.
