The NFC B-Day Chat Thread

'English' is a second language in this deli.
Was the same for mine. There was a huge immigrant population of Eastern European folks in the town next to mine growing up. We were just outside of Chicago in Northern Indiana. My favorite Pizza joint was opened by a First Generation Serbian (I went to HS with his son who now owns it) who used imported cheese (his own private blend) and everything else he made from his or surrounding gardens/farms. He bought beef rounds for his Italian beef sandwiches from a local farmer. I used to love going there on Monday's (they were closed Monday) and helping prep. He seasoned the beef Sunday afternoon and put them into the oven at 4:00AM Monday and let them cook all day. His shop always smelled amazing. Everything was made from scratch.
 
Apparently the Polish deli was a zoo. Princess managed to get kielbasa, pierogies, sauerkraut and stuffed cabbage.

Way to go Princess!

I just got back from the grocery store, it was a mad house. Glad to have that over with. DH got here a couple hours ago and he's sick (non-Covid) and at the walk-in clinic. Well, this should be fun!
