God DAMN do I miss heading into Wegmans for some salt potatoes.

>>6592646
I'm in South Carolina now. grew up Between Rochester and Buffalo. Still make salt potatoes. I get baby new or something. Usually drunk so not sure. Then add a lot of salt and boil. As long as you don't cut into the potato, you're fine and it doesn't absorb it. Just make sure to have the melted butter to dip them into.

>>6592619
>Salt potatoes
those sound cool, I'll have to try making them

>>6592673
just don't make even a single slice in the potato or it will absorb all the salt and be inedible.

>>6592657
I suppose it's psychological that they never taste the same to me. Maybe it's the water? I have no clue.

>>6592679
thanks for the heads-up

>>6592685
they don't but it is close. I know where I lived in NY they had a lot of fluoride or something in the water. Maybe add some fluoride to the potatoes

>>6592653
I never understand how people enjoy wings I work in a wing restaurant and let me tell you they suck

>>6592693
as long as the potatoes are sealed up with their skin, it will make a thicker skin on them and be great and is sold at all the fire department BBQ's and carnivals and everything else. But even one slice into the center or try cutting large potatoes up to make them, inedible completely. It's awful if you get a bad one. You almost want to throw up from the salt that got inside it. But you cook them in the salted water until done, drain them, let them dry out a couple minutes to get that coating like in my first photo, perfect. They seriously aren't hardly salty at all it just cooks them perfect inside and forms the crust on the outside. Melt some butter in a small dish (we actually have dishes made just for this and for rolling the sweet corn in) and dip them as you go. Unhealthy but godly.

>>6592701
I don't like the veins and bones. I prefer boneless. But just trying to post some of the north western NY cuisine that originated around there is all. The pizza photo, I don't mean pizza started there but it's a photo of a Kronys pizza which to me is Ny all the way outside the city. A big oven with out the conveyor and blah blah and it's what I grew up on is all. Don't even care about the pizza arguments on here it's just what I crave and miss now is theirs. Never had a chain pizza until I was like 18 actually and knew the guy who started kronys pizza in hamlin, NY

>>6592715
boneless wings are just chicken nuggets man

>>6592696
Yeah truly that must be it.

I will never recapture Luigi's though. What a fucking goldmine that place is.

I bet those are great with corned beef

>raves about ONE TYPE of pizza

You're a fucking child. Grow some taste.

>>6592801
They are. My advice is to start with half the amount of salt it calls for an go from there according to taste.

>>6592619
>Syracuse Salt Potatoes
a shit. Canary Islands got this shit on much better lock.

Someone not lazy post garbage plate pictures.

I'm from hilton you red neck cow fucker. I love Kron's.

>>6592904
I saw those on wiki, too
I wonder how the "mojo" mentioned compares to normal store-bought mojo marinades

>>6592947
My brother and I were discussing this last night. Didn't the kronys by the bowling alley there close down? Or is it still open?

>>6592942

>>6592904
looks great

>>6592729
when I think of nuggets I think of that shit at mcdonalds that is all weird and flat. Granted it is pretty much the same, but a lot of well made boneless wings use actual real chunks of meat and not ground/processed meat

>>6593788
All food is processed anon.......,

>>6592619
>>6592904
What variety of potatoes do you guys use for your salt potatoes? I hear it matters quite a lot.

>>6593839
I don't know really. I just use tiny ones. Since I've moved to South Carolina, they call them just small baby new potatoes. Not sure of the kind. Back home in NY, they sell them in an actual "kit" if you want, it has like 5 pounds of the potatoes and the salt packet included and instructions how to do it (which I mean..add salt to water..boil..not complicated) The wiki says this on the type "Salt potatoes are bite-size "young" white potatoes scrubbed and boiled in their skins. The proper size potatoes are Size B, Grade US No. 2. The potatoes are small and their appearance and shape are not important"

>>6593813
Well if I take a bite out of the side of a living fish it would not be processed then. But you get the idea of what I was saying I hope but excellent correction

Salt Potatoes is a fucking Canary Isles thing.

Its chicken BBQ season niggers! Go get you some! Chivettas all the way.

>>6594236
>Chivettas....

you mean Chiavettas? As in http://chiavettascatering.com/

blatant marketing, but why? how many shivering citizens of Buffalo could possibly be on this board?

>>6594333
it is like..high 80s F to low 90s F right now..nobody shivering..since most don't even have air conditioning..

>>6594337
You're shivering 9 months out of the year.

>>6594339
heck no I moved to SC. fuck that shit

If you come upstate to Broome county, Binghamton area we have these retarded things called spiedie which is an overrated way of selling a few pieces of shit marinated chicken on a piece of bread.

Pic related, it's some seriously sad shit.
I do love it up here though, it doesn't smell disgusting like NYC does.

New York is a pretty beautiful state once you get out of the stench of the NYC area and politically correct fagits therein.

>>6592646
grew up in tompkins county
only regret about moving to nyc is no cold salt potatoes and beer while skipping rocks on the lake.

>>6594475
bingo is hands down the best city in the 607 area code.

>>6594475
>spiedie
>shit

>>6594506
and bingo was his name-o b-i-n-g-o b-i-n-g-o b-i-n-g-o and bingo was his name-o!
There's good farming land up here too for folk that are willing to put in some effort, once done with the NYC bs.

Damn everything minus the wings looks like shit is this really NY food vomit and shit on a plate.

>>6594475
>broome county is in upstate ny

I need you to go look at a map...

>>6594475

>>6594506
there is something wrong with yalls water..seriously..binghamton... just isn't right no offense but still beautiful

>>6594523
Downstate is NYC and Long Island, get of that area where we have fresh air and it's upstate. NY is a big ass state, I do need to go see Niagara Falls sometime, that's a good place to take a chick.

>>6594529
I think the water is fine here, I'm used to NYC water so I'd detect any weirdness pretty quickly. If you mean a few days ago yeah there was rust in it because of the rain and storms, shit happens, but that happens in NYC too.

Hoorah!

>>6594530
>geography is hard

>>6594555
Trips don't lie but really anything out of the NYC metroplex area where the air smells fresh and not like niggers is upstate.

>>6594555
I really define it by smell, I know that I'm in NYC about 50 miles out when I can detect the stench of the city.

>>6594563
>where the air smells fresh and not like niggers

What do your niggers smell like? Ours smell mostly like dirty underwear and cough syrup.

Getting back to the point of the post, there's this little joint here in Endicott that makes Salt Potatoes, those are good. Go for the salt potatoes and not the speedies.

Harry Tuft's. It's a decent pub and the salt potatoes are pretty decent.

>>6594582
They smell like niggers. I never really classified it beyond nigger stench.

>>6594534
I didn't want to be rude. Instead I said something is wrong with binghamtons water. What I really mean is every person there looks inbred as all hell and that's coming from a fellow Upstater/western NYer.

>>6594541
i have some on my facebook from there including that maid of the mist bullshit boat ride. the Niagara river is far more scary than the falls to me. If I'm not lazy later I can post some more but every one and their grandmother has seen the falls so I doubt it would even get a comment

>>6594866
More inbred/ugly/fucked up looking than Rochester or Buffalo? I don't believe it.

>>6594928
lol nah not quite. binghamton is a lot of whites. rochester is nigs.

by the way..my own thread made me want salt potatoes..the ones I use here in south carolina since I cannot get good potatoes hardly..are.. the ones in the photo. They work pretty well. About 1 inch diameter or so.

>>6594494
Fuck yeah it is, I used to go up to the Catskills every summer. All the small towns along the way are beautiful and the gaps and valleys are probably my favorite part of the country.

I'm going to be in roughly the same area this summer, around the Jersey border. What local cuisine can I absolutely not miss? I'm looking for small-town day trips to go on and I want to explore NY a bit since I usually just stick around Jersey.

>NY cooking outside the city

You mean like trailer food? Upstate is, well...Not a nice place to be.

>>6592904
Learn the fucking language or fuck off.

>>6594236
Shit yeah, nigger. Nothing like BBQ chicken, salt taters & a dinner roll. It's gotta be a charcoal grill though, I hate when they do it on a gas grill and the chicken tastes like straight up propane.

>>6594475
Except 315 has the largest toxic waste landfill in the northeastern United States kek

those are pretty good.

>>6592619
gonna try making some today

>>6597005
following up

got a pack of a pound of tiny expensive potatoes
dumped it in the water with a cup and a half of salt
boiled it
really fucking good

bet these are great to mash

>>6597653
>>6597653
If you do mash them, drain all the water first and don't use any of the salt water. You will choke to death and die if you don't. But glad you liked them.

>>6594530
i grew up outside the falls, go to the canadian side, unless you like crack dens and abandoned industrial buildings. it IS slightly nicer than it used to be 10 years ago though.

also, i cant find a goddamn chicken finger sub to save my life outside WNY.

>ctrl f
>no pizza logs
wut

>>6597948
Use to go to the festival of lights every winter and to the rainbow mall (which is now gone) to A&W for a foot long hot dog. It was always a good time. As a kid, I would start looking forward to that hot dog some time around September. Pretty sad actually.

>>6592959
You can't compare. I tried many different ones from stores, they were all inferior, sometimes not even remotely the same.
Only thing I do know is to get small spice-packages to do my own, if I'm on Tenerife.

>>6592701
>I work in a wing restaurant
Well there you go, you only have experience with shit wings meant for quantity over quality and usually consumed drunk.

Western NY native here. I live in NC now but I do miss this and some varieties of garbage plates.

The only thing that ever bothered me about chiavettas was how shriveled the chicken got at most places. I did enjoy the vinegar flavor though, the crispy bits were extra delicious for the fact.

>>6592788
This guy's voice is annoying as shit

>>6592715
Chicken wing. Perfect meat to skin to bone ratio.

>can I have a boneless, skinless, chicken wing?

Absolutely, go down the street and ask for McNuggets you piece of shit.

>>6603090
>talking shit about based Chef John
get out

>>6603031
sucks to be poor :(

Is it just whole potatoes boiled in very salty water?
Do you peel them to eat, or eat em whole?

>>6592942
oh shit

I went to Geneseo and I would get one of these drunk like every Saturday

the memories

>>6605002
You eat them whole. I either mash 'em with a fork and throw on some butter or dip chunks into a little ranch dressing.

also for some reason I didn't know this was just a new york thing, it seems so simple??
