[edit] Butter cake
Butter cake is described as an "ethnic food". What ethnicity? Izzycat 20:58, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Where to buy ...
Parts of this article read like an advertisment to buy your hoagies and pretzles at Wawa.
- Yeah, as if we can't get 'em at any 7-11! Somebody must own stock.--BillFlis 19:22, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
- I'm not sure about owninig stock. I think they were trying to talk about the fact that their seems to be a Wawa on almost every corner in SE PA and S Jersey. As someone who only gets home once a year I miss the Wawa. Hands down the best convenience store there is. Wawa also makes a pretty damn good sandwich for a chain of stores as compared to that disgrace of a sandwich shop Subway. That being said I agree that that sentence needs to change. Mayne a mention of the large # of Wawas and the large #s of corner delis and hoagie, cheesesteak and pizza joints?
- It's especially annoying that the "buying advice" seems to be repeated for almost every food item, then again in each item's own Wiki-article. Maybe it should all be collected into a new section of two. How about "Fast Food Culture"? "Where to buy"?--BillFlis 20:33, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tomato pie
Actually, tomato pie in this style (like a cheese-less Sicilian pizza) is available in a lot of other places. In the Wikibook Cookbook article on this, the author claimed that it was regional to Central New York State (Utica etc.). So it's probably just an Italian-American thing that you can get wherever there are concetrations of Italian-Americans.--BillFlis 18:55, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
- I removed the reference cited above. I always though Tomato Pie was unique to Utica, NY, obviously not.Fduross 13:45, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Origin of "Hoagie"
I've heard the story about the hog-island hoggie turning into "hoagie," but that story seems to be apocryphal at best. A reference for that would be most welcome. Jzerocsk 21:46, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
