Talk:Spiedie

4/24/2005
I'm iffy on this last edit by Gcashman. In respects to pure grammar, its much better, but I think you edited out a key point. Yes spiedies in the traditional sense are lamb, but the "modern" spiedie of upstate NY is overwhelmingly chicken. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ccwaters (talk • contribs) 19:57, 24 April 2005 (UTC)

Pancho's Pit
Another significant purveyor of spiedies (when I was growing up in the Binghamton area in the 60s) was a restaurant called "Pancho's Pit", which started in Vestal and later relocated to Johnson City (both suburbs of Binghamton, as are Endicott and Endwell). I heard Pancho's Pit recently closed after many years at its Johnson City location.

Olive Garden
I heard that when Spiedies were added to the menu of national chain Olive Garden (as “Spiedinos”), a little investigation revealed that the chain's chef is a Broome County, New York native. —Fleminra 06:45, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

Spiedino
how is this different from the Italian dish called a Spiedino? (I propose renaming this page) FiveRings (talk) 22:11, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Spiedie irons
I have removed the qualification that the skewers must be wooden. I lived in Vestal, New York, from 1962 to 1976. Our spiedies were always of lamb, and were always cooked using spiedie irons--steel skewers.--Mockingbird0 (talk) 05:24, 21 September 2008 (UTC) Right on Mockingbird0. The reason the skewers were steel was because the steel would transmit the heat into the center of the meat. This was critical for leaner meat such as venison and lamb. Pork doesn't matter since it can cook longer without drying out. 74.111.4.108 (talk) 20:55, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

Spiedies Recipe
I am a newbie here so I leave this suggestion with the hopes that someone more experienced will know what to do. Here is a good article on spiedies with a good traditional tested recipe. http://www.amazingribs.com/recipes/lamb/spiedies.html Quedude (talk) 18:41, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
 * WP:COI problems aside, it's too ad-heavy and should not be included per WP:ELNO #5. --Ronz (talk) 17:10, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

Suggested Corrections
The photo looks too much like a hot dog bun. Sub rolls are atypical as well, it is usually a small italian loaf or a slice of italian bread. And lastly, Lupo's also played a significant roll which should be mentioned. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.183.48.72 (talk) 10:11, 18 June 2017 (UTC)
