Whew, I gotta tell you I was worried when I saw the title of this thread BOY. I thought JB had a couple too many pops and tried on a speedie :shock: Thank goodness it turned out to be some good looking grub. ;)
 
Hey Boy..do look mighty yummy. Got an old yankee chum from Endicott, Noo Yawk who got me hooked on them thangs several years back. He buys the marinate in gallon jugs but he uses the other brand..maybe Flippos or similar? At any rate in case you ever get industrious and want to make your own try the State Fair Spiedie Recipe at the website below

You can also reduce the marinate time from 3 days to about 20 mins if you get yourself one of them vacuum marinater buckets to go with a food saver bag sucking moochine...or 10 mins. in a vacuum tumbler from Cabelas.

That would be Lupo's spiedie marinade.

Try lamb spiedies the next time, cut them a little smaller and add some chopped mint and lemon zest to the marinade and cook over charcoal. Do not overcook or burn them. The traditional way to eat them is to place the skewer between a piece of sliced Italian bread and pull off the spiedies.
 
Hey Big Butt..thanks for the correction on Lupo's. Have to give that lamb a whirl one of these days. Last time did some Choice Grade beef Chuck roast/ thick steak and some chicken. Both turned out great. Was a little skeered the beef wouldnt tender up but it did. Found some Eyetalian Hoagie Rolls in the Albertsons Deli which worked good for the bread ration. I think somebody (maybe you) sent me a host of marinate recipes a few years back. If anybody is interested I try to find em and post.
