Speedie's For Dinner tonight.


I haven't had these in so long! Pork chunks on a skewer, with a special marinade.  
The name “Spiedie” derives from the Italian word “Spiedini”, which refers to anything cooked on a skewer.  This idea was brought to Up-State New York (Binghamton)  by Italian Immigrants in the early 1900’s. Today, Spiedies are made from a variety of meats(usually pork, chicken, or lamb), and are marinated in a blend of herbs and spices and cooked over an open flame. The Spiedie became a huge hit and remains to be in most of central NY State.  It became so popular that a few locals began arguing over who had the best spiedie in town. They then created an annual festival to determine who’s were #1
