    I lived in the northeast for a few years, and we had the privilege of going to Lancaster County, PA, to the Amish restaurants to eat! This was in the mid-80s, and I still haven’t forgotten how great the food was! ❤ It was absolutely wonderful, so your video made me hungry for the beautiful food y’all were enjoying! Love and blessings to all! ❤️🙏

    Good choice! Surprised you didn't have to wait in line. We have eaten there many times. The peanut butter spread is also called church spread and served as a snack after a three hour service. I am not sure my Baptist but could handle a three hour service. God Bless and safe travels.

    • @vafunseekers
      @vafunseekers  Месяц назад +1

      There were people outside so we thought we would have to wait. We waited less than 5 minutes and they called our name. We could have eaten at the counter but we prefer the table for a video. Makes it easier to record everybody. We are Baptist too and a 3 hour service would be crazy!

      My meal was definitely traditional PA Dutch Amish. It was delicious! I would definitely get ham loaf again. I tried a sample at S. Clyde Weaver's store and really enjoyed it, so thought I'd try it for an entree. David thought the roast beef was so tender and tasty. That strawberry pie for dessert hit the spot!
      We have been to Katie's before but this was our first review from there. I think they stay so busy because of how good the food is and because it is actually Amish owned. Appreciate you watching and commenting. God Bless!

    It looked like you guys really enjoyed your visit to Amish country, It's about a four hour drive from my house, definitely on my bucket list. You do a great hob editing your videos, always enjoy the music 😊. The food at Katie's all looked scrumptious, especially that roast beef, it would melt in your mouth . Like i mentioned in one of your other videos a friend i worked with would bring ham loaf to work that his wife made it was delicious with some mind of glaze sauce 😊 Your ham loaf looked very good too , and your mashed potatoes and Davids were eye appealing, and Carly's mac n cheese looked delightful. I'm like you Cindy i want my hot foods hot and my cold foods cold. Now that strawberry 🍓 pie made my mouth water, that crust was so light and flaky. Liked the picture with Carly by the horse. Also she had a really pretty shirt on , i couldn't tell if that was a rose on it 👍. While i really enjoyed your trip through amish country. Time for me to have my dinner and get ready for game 7 of the Stanley cup finals. God Bless all of you, you always brighten up my day 🇺🇸🍓🏒

      We did have a great visit to Amish Country. We all liked our entrees at Katie's. We also enjoyed those homemade rolls with the peanut butter spread. mmmmm The glaze sauce on my ham loaf was pineapple. The open faced roast beef with potatoes is one of David's favorites. That strawberry pie was out of this world good!
      Carly actually got to ride the horse with the young Amish man. But the video did not come out of her ride.
      Enjoy your dinner and watching the Stanley cup finals. As always thanks for watching and your insightful comments. God Bless!

    Oh my...I am full after watching this (ha)! The food looked so good and that peanut butter spread on those rolls - well, let's just say I could make a meal out of that and the creamy mac & cheese. I thought the strawberry pie was the best looking fruit pie ever with crust that looked like shortbread cookies (maybe?). 🍓

    • @vafunseekers
      @vafunseekers  Месяц назад +1

      That peanut butter spread was an amazing way to start a meal! I did not try Carly's mac & cheese but she enjoyed it. That strawberry pie was on point! Yes, the crust was a shortbread type of crust. When I make strawberry pies at home I buy a premade pie shell. I prefer the shortbread crust over the traditional graham cracker pie crust. Thanks for watching!

    Cindy's meal looks quintessentially Amish, and delicious! I get the noodles to make the Amish brown butter noodles from a small Amish market up here in northern Michigan. I just love them when my Crohn's Disease flares up. Sometimes, that, and mashed potatoes are the only foods I can tolerate.
    Everything looks good! All 3 of you got tasty meals.

    When I saw that you got the ham loaf, I just had to comment.
    When we arrived last Thursday, our friends in PA prepared a lunch for us in their home. She made ham loaf, and it was also my first time trying it. It was AMAZING! In fact, I would prefer it over standard meat loaf. She used an apricot glaze instead of pineapple, but she also mentioned that some use pineapple. I think it would be great with any type of glaze.
    Glad you enjoyed it, as well. Great review!

    • @vafunseekers
      @vafunseekers  Месяц назад +1

      That is so awesome that your friends prepared such a delicious lunch for you. I would not have ordered ham loaf if I had not tried the sample at the store the day before and liked it. Someone else told me that they have had apricot glaze on the ham loaf. I wanted to order something a little different than my normal and I'm glad I did. Thanks for watching and safe travels! ❤
