Mike:**OT**

The potato salad where I am is nothing special--I'm in New England. That's not very far from PA, however, and I took a lot of U.S. history courses [in which there's a lot on PA for the colonial/post-colonial period].

For my last morning trivia, after which I'm getting off my computer (since NAVR is going nowhere): Did you know Philadelphia was our nation's capital for a while or, that our nat'l language was almost German?

**OT** Potato Salad PA Lore

They sell it locally in these huge plastic buckets. The stuff is oustanding. Something else you might not realize is that the PA Dutch are responsible for the introduction of the hard pretzel. Where I grew up, they would hand make the pretzels right down the road. You could go to their little factory and the women would sell you 13lbs of broken *seconds* for $5. They also make some serious potato chips. Cooked in lard, about 50 grams of fat a serving, but damn are they good ...
