Hi Pat,

I couldn't find any references to "New York System Hot Weiners", but the below recipe is from the Rhode Island.Com website.

Rhode Island-Style Hot Wiener Sauce

1 1/2 lbs. lean ground beef
4 ounces bacon, minced
1 large onion, minced
1/2 large green pepper, minced
3 large cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons ground nutmeg
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 can (6-ounce size) tomato paste

Process the ground beef in a food processor until very fine; set aside.

Cook the bacon in a heavy skillet or Dutch oven until crisp. Add the onion,
green pepper and garlic. Saute until tender and light brown.

Add the ground beef. Cook until crumbly, stirring frequently. Stir in the
remaining ingredients.

Cook over low heat for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally. Cool and store in
airtight containers in the freezer.

  Hello,
  
  Im looking for a jello recipe that my grandmother made in the 50's.  
  It had pinapple, rice, strawberry jello and we think evaporated milk 
  and was whipped. Ring any bells?
  Your help is greatly appreciated

  I am looking for the original receipe for Pepper Pot Soup. 

  Thank you very much

  Pauline

I don't know about "original", since this soup was supposedly created by George Washington's cook at Valley Forge. However, the recipe below is an authentic Philadelphia pepper pot soup recipe.

Phaed

  Philadelphia Pepper Pot Soup Recipe 
  Ingredients
  1-1/2 pounds honeycomb tripe
  Sprinkles of salt for rubbing
  Water
  1 tablespoon salt
  3 tablespoons butter
  1 cup chopped onions
  1 whole onion, studded with 3 cloves
  1/2 cup thinly sliced celery
  1/2 cup peeled, quartered and thinly sliced carrots
  1 leek (about 1 cup), washed, sliced, including tender green part
  1/2 cup diced green pepper
  4 cups chicken stock
  1 cup water
  1 small meaty veal knuckle
  1 garlic clove, diced 
  2 to 3 teaspoons dried hot red chilies, crushed, or chili powder to taste
  1 bay leaf, crushed
  1 teaspoon dried marjoram
  1 teaspoon basil
  1/2 teaspoon thyme
  2 teaspoons salt, or to taste
  1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  1 tablespoon cornstarch
  3 tablespoons water
  1/2 cup chopped parsley
  2 cups 1/2-inch-diced potatoes
  1 cup evaporated milk or heavy cream
  1/3 cup butter for swirling into soup when served
  1/2 cup snipped parsley for garnish

  Instructions
  Wash tripe under cold running water. Spread pieces on the counter 
  or cutting board and rub both sides thoroughly with several teaspoons 
  of salt. Rinse off the salt. Place tripe in a medium (3-quart) 
  saucepan and add salted water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a gentle 
  boil and cook 15 minutes. Drain and set aside. When cool cut into 
  1/2-inch cubes. Reserve. 

  Heat butter in a deep (4 to 5 quarts) kettle or casserole. When butter 
  begins to foam, add chopped onions, the whole studded onion, celery, 
  carrots, leek and green pepper. Cover and sweat over medium low heat 
  for 10 minutes. Do not brown. 

  Pour stock and water into the kettle and add the veal bone and reserved 
  tripe cubes. Add garlic, hot chilies, bay leaf, marjoram, basil, thyme, 
  salt if desired, and black pepper. Simmer 1 1/2 hours. At the end of 
  this period, lift out the veal bone and pick off what meat there is. 
  Cut meat into bite-size pieces and return to the soup. Discard the bone 
  and whole onion. 

  Mix together cornstarch and water in a small bowl. Add it to the soup and 
  stir to blend. Add parsley and diced potatoes. Simmer until potatoes are 
  tender, about 20 to 25 minutes. 

  When soup is cooked, but still keeping it over the heat, add evaporated 
  milk or cream. Swirl the butter into the soup at the moment of ladling it 
  into a heated tureen or individual bowls. Garnish with snipped parsley.

Linda's Parisian Burgers

  Hello!  I've searched the archives and you are my last hope.  
  In Mountain View, California, there was a drive-in diner called 
  Linda's.  They made an addictive burger known as a "Parisian 
  Burger".  With this they served fries, known as tater tots.  
  The restaurant closed in 1985 I think and with it went the recipe 
  for the Parisian Burgers.  I've never found a substitute, but 
  would like to try to make them myself. 

  It was rumored they used Buffalo meat, but it was never confirmed.  
  That's the only thing I can tell you about the famed Parisian Burger.  
  If you have access to the recipe and can pass it to me, I'd appreciate 
  it. 

  Thank you 

  Janet 

Hello Janet,
