Thanks Jani! Yes indeed, it does help. I think I'll try the recipe
you found but maybe on a smaller scale.

The ox roast sandwiches I recall may actually have been made from roast
beef. And I didn't describe it very well. The meat was served hot,
and it wasn't like cold cuts. The texture was similar to pulled pork
but much finer.

You're absolutely correct that some PA Dutch recipes aren't terribly
inviting. Perhaps I ought to leave childhood memories of food as they
a memories. (Last time I tried a childhood favorite I was
disillusioned. Birch beer soda pop is not delicious; it tastes like
Pepto-Bismol! :-p)
