It is interesting how some foods become national and international
standards while others remain local. When we were vacationing on PA we
had shoo fly pie a few times and I loved it. I never see it anywhere
else. I will have to make it myself one of these days.

Buffalo is famous for hot chicken wings and that one has spread across
the continent. They have another wonderful local fish that never seemed
to catch on outside of the Buffalo and western New York area..... Beef
on Wick.
