  Subject: Italian hot porkette sandwiches


  Hi, here is what I am looking for and its driving me crazy.  Porkette sandwiches.
  There are two small towns right next to each other, that share even the same high school.  
  And these little towns are most famous for their hot italian porkette sandwiches.  I used 
  to go to the church called st. johns in paulsboro on election days to have these.  They would 
  serve these, plus desserts and something to drink.  Also in Gibbstown, new jersey, they have 
  a place called st. michaels mutual hall.  And I hear that they put on parties and fundraisers 
  and also have them.  I have had them from all over, but no one makes them like paulsboro and 
  gibbstown.  I hear that there is a food market called Funaris in Gibbstown thatmakes them.  
  My family has been wanting these for years.  I neeed to know  this..either the RECIPE for 
  making them......or WHERE in either of these two towns that I can go and get them anytime 
  i wish. They also have carnivals in these two towns and have them.  There must be somewhere 
  on the internet for the information I need.   I even wrote to our local newspaper, the Gloucester 
  County Times and asked them to print the recipe in the newspaper but i have not heard a word yet.

  Can you help?

Hi Kris,

See below for two recipes. These are sometimes called "porkette" and sometimes called "porketta."

Phaed

  "Old Country" Porketta Sandwiches

  1 (5 pound) pork loin 
  2 teaspoons salt 
  2 teaspoons black pepper, coarsely ground 
  2 teaspoons garlic powder 
  1 1/2 teaspoons onion powder 
  1 1/2 teaspoons dry mustard 
  1 1/2 teaspoons paprika 
  1 teaspoon dried sage
  1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  Olive oil

  Coat loin with olive oil. Score loin in several places cutting through 1/2 of the thickness. 
  Combine all spices and apply liberally to loin making sure to rub into score marks. Wrap in 
  plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 overnights.

  Add 1 cup of water to a crockpot and place loin in water. Water should just cover the bottom 
  of the crock and come up a fraction of an inch on the meat. Slow roast for the entire day. 
  Baste as often as possible.

  Remove loin and reserve the juices still in the crock. Pull the meat apart in small chunks. 
  The meat will appear fairly dry but should pull apart easily. Strain the juice to get rid of 
  any fat chunks. Once the sammich is made, top with these juices.

  These taste best when served on nice hard rolls.

Hello Pam,

We have a set of the cards, but there are some cards missing. It says "Printed in U.S." on the back, and there is no "Foreign Favorites" category, although there is a "Worldwide Medly" category and a "Southwest Favorites" Category. There is no recipe for "Golden Glow Enchiladas" in the set at all. However, I found the below recipe on the web.

Phaed

Golden  Glow  Enchiladas

 Ingredients :
 1 tbsp. margarine
 1 tbsp. oil
 1/2 c. chopped onion
 1/2 c. grated carrots
 1 clove garlic, minced
 3 tbsp. flour

 1/2 tsp. white pepper
 1 can (14 oz.) mushroom broth
 1 c. chopped tomatoes
 8-10 corn tortillas
 1/2 lb. each grated Monterey Jack & Cheddar cheese
 2 onions, chopped

 Preparation :
    Melt margarine and oil in large skillet.  Saute 1/2 cup onion,
 carrots and garlic until soft.  Stir in flour, oregano and pepper.
 Cook for 1-2 minutes.  Gradually stir in broth, being careful to
 whisk out any lumps of flour.  Add tomatoes.  Heat to boiling.
 Reduce to a simmer.  Cover and cook for 20-30 minutes.  Soften
 tortillas, one at a time, in the sauce.  Place some of the cheese

  Phaedrus,
  I don't believe they are still brewing Champale, I may be wrong. But if not , where would I get the 
  recipe from, or purchase the patent on this product? I can't find anything about it on the web? 
  There is some lame band that keeps popping up, but that is it. Champale was much better than Zima, 
  or these other so called wine coolers on the market. I believe If Champale would be re-introduced 
  it would be a hit! My name is Jobe, so if you have any information on this I would appreciate it? 
  FYI, Monk fish is as close to lobster as it gets, try some you'll see.
  JOBE

Hello Jobe,

Champale traces its roots to the Metropolis brewery of Trenton, N.J. It was brewed in Norfolk, Va., by Century Products, a sister company of Champale, Inc. In 1987, Champale was sold to G. Heileman of La Crosse, WI, then to Pabst Brewing Co. It's still available with limited distribution. I don't know exactly where in the U.S. it's sold, but I read that it is aimed at the minority market.

Pabst owns the rights to the name and to the formula.

This company owns the distribution rights to Champale:

Thanks for the tip on the monkfish.
