Wilmer,

It was a favorite in our home in Berks County which is near Lancaster.
Lancaster is home to the Amish and Mennonites, while Reading and Kutztown
are centers for what my mom described as the "Gay Dutch" - those who drink
beer with their pretzels. Reading had many breweries and my mother's
brothers worked there instead of going to high school.

The Penn Dutch are more than in Lancaster County!
