Maybe not in their own environment, but when I've seen them in the local stores, they have masks.BTW...Amish don't to the Wuhan Red death mask thingy...just sayin.
My wife just texted me that she found all the canning supplies she was looking for at Pine View Grocery.
I'm half afraid what else she found there.

they are typically respectful and peaceful. Unless it is against their religious principles, they will follow the rules.

Picked some up to try, what is it good with?Some time ago, I purchased a jar of this relish. It is the bomb diggity and it is now all gone, as you can see.
I have never tasted a hot pepper relish which is as good as this! Thing1 and I got addicted to it during the Covid pandemic and now we are having serious withdrawals.
it came from the Amish grocery store listed got the address on this label. How would I know if they were open other than just driving by there? It's off the beaten path and out of the way. I might need to take a road trip but then they're probably not open on Sunday.Does anyone know the store named on this label?
**it's entirely possible I got it from the Farmer's Market, also. I can't remember!

Here's a Wikipedia post on them!

I happen to think Manger's Half Smokes are better than others I've had.

They look very similar to the old Brigg's half smokes, but I'm spoiled. They just don't have the same flavor Brigg's was known for.Here's a Wikipedia post on them!

I never had that brand, that I know of!They look very similar to the old Brigg's half smokes, but I'm spoiled. They just don't have the same flavor Brigg's was known for.
Brigg's were THE half smoke back in the day. If you ordered a half smoke at Early Bird it was a Brigg's. I was crushed when they went out of business. I haven't been able to find one that's even in the running with Brigg's. The original had a certain bite (maybe sage) to it unmatched by any other.
The hot ones were pure dynamite!

I don't recall ever getting one at Early Bird.
You should at least try Mangers! Nick's of Calvert sells them.
I have tried Manger's. I was anticipating that spicy bite back all the way home from the store; only they didn't have "it". Maybe my expectations were just too high. They weren't bad, they just weren't Brigg's. All the roach coaches in the early 80s had them and I believe 7-11 and High's did too. They were a staple to a teenage construction worker in the early 80s.I don't recall ever getting one at Early Bird.
Did you get the spicy Mangers?
I know I have had half smokes in the past, but I could not tell you the brand to save my life!

My digestive tolerance has changed a lot since then. Maybe I'll give it one last shot.General Lee

So, I don't know what the one you had tastes like, but I tried mine tonight with steak. Weird combo but I wanted to try it. It is some kind of good. I was tempted to eat like a salsa w/ chips.Is it the same as in the picture I posted?
