Anyone Care For A Zweigel?

We get lots of nice mail from readers who respond to articles in Flavor and BayLife.

We received this nice note from a reader who enjoyed our “Taste Of The Nation” story last week by Karen Haymon Long about food you can order by mail.

Ms. Long,

One little thing I wanted to share with you…up in the northern Upstate New York area (around Rochester), there’s a company who produces and sells “White Hots”....these hot dogs are unbelievable!!  They are the official hot dog for the Buffalo Bills (sold at their stadium) (just a trivia point for ya—- has ZERO value here in Tampa other than maybe the bars that show Bills games could probably make a killing if they offered the darn things).  The people who make and sell them (“Zweigles”) even offer to send them across country in iced down coolers.

If there’s any way the Tribune would allow you to purchase some hots from their site, I can assure you that you won’t be dissappointed.

Sincerely,

Shaun M. Keenan
