The experience of brand new Greek and Italian flavors at Mandros Imported Foods…read more The visit to the store taught me about the diversity of Italian pantry staples. The shelves are packed with a huge selection of imported canned goods, pasta, cheeses, and so on. With the authentic ingredients imported directly from Europe, you can taste the origin of foods. Like the Parma prosciutto, the cured meat made under strict regulation in Italy with its mixed salty and sweet flavor. On the shelves, the cheese, tea, pickles are carefully catagorized and varied by type -- definately helpful for customers to find their hometown flavors. The wall decorations, includeing old photos and a map of Pennsylvania cheese, adding a real European vibe to the store.The store is not only a good place to seek for authentic ingredients for your meals, but also a wonderful spot to learn about European culture.

I am here to tell you that as a cheese lover, these spreads are BEYOND ridiculous. Seriously. I WISH that we had something this awesome in North Carolina. I swear she uses these dips as an enticement to get me to visit. She tells me that they make a fantastic smoked kielbasa as well. I will be honest, I can't see this shop doing ANYTHING badly. I am so not kidding here. It's like they have an extra ingredient that makes it so addicting. You don't even have to be hungry, once you try the garlic herb dip you can't stop. Until that is you notice the tub is now empty. Run, don't walk, to any of these locations for these truly delicious spreads!

I told my wife, let's break tradition and serve something different for Thanksgiving. Instead of a supermarket ham, let's buy a smoked ham from the Amish country. I found online S. Clive Weaver. I called the store and spoke with the manager. I asked about the store hours as well as Thanksgiving Ham. (I'm thinking it's going to be a blood bath, 1000 people running into the store screaming HAM!) The manager assured me this is not the case, there will be plenty of boneless, smoked ham for us to choose. We pulled up to, it seems like a mini supermarket. Once inside, it felt like when the Wizard of Oz went from Black & White to color. There is EVERYTHING one would need for a holiday dinner. The first thing I noticed was the beautifully arrangement of baskets. There were multiple sizes of meat and cheese baskets, I never had a sweet salami? The blocks of cheese, were cubed and served to our Thanksgiving guests. Everyone loved the unique flavors that are not regional to where I live. They also had a pie station with many different flavors of homemade pies. I brought home a Shoo Fly Pie? Filled with the warm spices of the holiday, another hit with my Family. Now for the Ham, there was a wall of ham! Ham everywhere. I chose a hefty porker, it was very easy to cook. Again, everyone loved the flavor of the smoked ham that I snuck across state lines. S. Clive Weaver, it was a pleasure to shop at your establishment.

Their goat's milk has a complex and sophisticated taste. The subtle sweetness mixed with the natural tangy flavor and creamy consistency combines nicely. The farm itself is local, located only about 10 miles from Central Market. The man working the stand said that he milks the goats himself. Buying this milk, you know that you are getting a fresh and quality product.

Excellent place, meats are amazing and side dishes are wonderful and you cannot bypass the desserts! Fine experience!

Cabalar. Best burger in Lancaster…read more Now their specials are always LEGIT. Lancaster Restaurant Week was serving up a Jibarito, corned beef, fried plantains, melted cooper, pickled onions, and mayoketchup. The sandwich was incredible! Such a good touch on a cultural favorite! I myself prefer it without pickled onions, but if you love onions, this is perfect! Cabalar is massively popular and will always require a decent wait for made to order items. I believe we waited about 25 minutes for this sandwich. Love the green and white throughout the restaurant. Awesome shirts for sale. The decor in here is awesome with paintings everywhere. Tons of seating and kids area upstairs!

I'm really lucky to live near it. Get a picture of your kids sitting on the fake cow. They love it. My niece still calls it magical and she is 27. She went there all her life for an ice cream and a picture of her on the cow and to play on the playground and the cattle shoot. Find the Fluffy Butt Hutt near the eggs and look for the railroad track above the market registers.
