I got these recipes from another list. Might be good for a party. Sounds a
bit too "tangy" with vinegar for me!
Spiedies (pronouced Speedy) are a very yummy grilled "sandwich" that
originated somewhere in or around Broome County, NY
Basically you cut up pork, chicken, beef, lamb, or venison into bite size
pieces. (Most favor chicken breast.) The marinade is a very tangy
vinagrette. You marinate the meat in spiedie sauce for 24 - 48 hours - this
is KEY, if you marinate it any less the meat just doesn't taste as tangy.
Then you skewer the meat like shish kabobs and char-grill them. The
traditional way to serve is fold a piece of sandwich sized Italian bread and
place meat in the center - sort of how you would serve a hot-dog on a piece
of bread when you're in a pinch. Then you can spoon more fresh marinade over
it and enjoy. Most restaurants in the area serve them as submarine
sandwiches.
Every summer in Binghamton, Ny (Broome Co, NY) they have a huge Spiedie
fest with a hot air balloon launch and a contest for the best Spiedie sauce.
