[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Grew up in a very small nothing town in upstate NY with amazing Italian American food, and Greek and Polish.

So very good pizza/calzones/pastas like stuffed shells were always available. My dad was a huge buffalo wings fan so every once in a while that would show up in our house. Tangy.

Birthday dinner for everyone in the family was always at "Symeons" Greek restaurant, where we always ran into other people we knew also having birthday dinners. Very very yummy.

People in that town are also obsessed with a food called "Chicken Riggies" so that was a common party food. (A kind of pasta with chicken and a spicy creamy sauce. It's good.)

I swear, there is nowhere in DC that comes close to the level of pizza and Greek food. Maybe Greek Deli in Dupont.

My parents are Indian (Bengali) immigrants, so my mom cooked extremely delicious Bengali food throughout the week -- Dahl, chicken curry, puris, fried fish, etc. They also had lived in Scotland for a decade so they made a lot of British/Scottish food, like sausages rolls, "mince and tatties (ground meat and mashed potatoes)", a big breakfast with eggs and baked tomatoes and beans. She also grew to like chicken with barbecue sauce and potato salad? And filled in lots of meals with frozen chicken tenders or chicken patties. Also lots of homemade french fries.

Syracuse? Massena? If, yes, give me some pizza places in Massena and Watertown area, I'd love to try it.[/quote]
