Anything in the line of seafood
literally “turns me on’! I think
my all-time favorite is steamed
clams, the tiny sweet kind, and
the very next favorite is boiled
lobster (broiling somehow dries
it out). But very close after that
is hardshell crabs and shrimp
cocktail, in that order. Good
hardshells abound in many
places throughout the area, but
the very tastiest I've enjoyed at
Vic-Mar’s, Edwardsville,
known everywhere for their
superb seafood. I could pick for
hours on their hardshells,
missing not a morsel. My idea
of heaven is a meal beginning
with steamers, continuing with
lobster, some crab cocktail,
maybe some deviled clams, or
clams casino, and hardshelis as
dessert. And if anyone else at
the table is enjoying another
good dish, I love to share and
taste. It’s a real fun evening
when everybody orders a dif-
ferent dish and everyone
shares!
The only place in town where
you can get a Welsh Rarebit is
Hottle’s. That is M-m good!
Years ago there was a
restaurant that served creamed
sweetbreads, but that place is
long gone. Where now do you
find that delicate dish?
Do you like Zita? The best
around is at Piledggi’s in
Kingston. :
Fried chicken wings at Shady
Rest Inn in Drums. Also a salad
bar.
Best shrimp in a basket at
Long Branch Inn in Trucksville.
Pasties who makes them best
but church women? Are there
Cornish pasties anywhere
around?
Russian potato pancakes. At
Green Acres Dairy Bar in
Wyoming.
I enjoy eggplant in any form,
and capinata is its best.
Capinata can be found as an
appetizer (sometimes) at
Angelo’s in Hazleton, or can be
bought at Calamata’s Grocery
on Northampton Street, Wilkes-
Barre. It’s expensive, so if you
know how to make your own,
you're in luck. (Give me your
recipe, will you?)
Perugino’s, South Main
Street, Wilkes-Barre, also has a
variety of dishes you can’t find
Their at-
mosphere is also pleasant for
lunch or dinner.
Konefal’s in Edwardsville
serves the very best seafood
and Italian food around...their
steamed clams are an inspira-
tion.
The new Chinese Restaurant
moderate family-type Chinese
restaurant that won't cost you
an arm and a leg. The food is
fair, but a meal can be had for
as little as $3.25. The main
The Harveys Lake Women’s

they’d get the stove hotter,
though.
Kingston Corners serves
cafeteria style, and one can
choose from a variety of dishes.
It’s one of the few places, with
the exception of Percy Brown's,
where you can get a grapefruit
half, or fresh fruit like oranges
and apples. The one very nice
thing, Mrs. Iorio tells me, is
they cook with the “low fat”
dieters in mind...like using
margarine and skim milk in
their cooking. (I'm watching
that so I was pleased to get
poached fish, salad with no
dressing, grapefruit for dessert,
and margarine to go with my
bread.) They serve good bread
like rye, pumpernickel and hard
rolls.
The very best breakfasts can
be found at Jim Haggerty’s on
Wyoming Avenue, Kingston, for
Wilma can fry an egg like
nobody else. Even if you're
watching your cholesterol, you
can still have an occasional egg.
They have a corn oil substitute
to cook with, if you desire,
which is excellent for dieters.
People are more conscious’
now of health, weight, heart
disease, and knowing where to
eat what is important. And who
wants to go through life without
enjoying good food?
Notice I've not mentioned
desserts? If I’ve had an ex-
cellent meal, clean, fresh, hot
and well cooked and served, I
don’t need or want dessert.
And the best cup of coffee in
town is at Elby’s, where else?
