Pigging out

I thought you might be interested in what visitors to the Pennsylvania Farm
Show consume in a week.  14.000 gallons of milk are needed to make the milkshakes visitors drink.  They also consume 17,500 pounds of donut mix, 6000 pounds of shortening, 480 pounds of prime rib, 975 pounds of chip steak, 10,000 pounds of pulled pork, 6000 pounds of bacon (that’s 3 tons of bacon), 450 gallons of maple syrup, two tons of honey, and 600 gallons of honey ice cream.

Wow!


This information is from the Jan./Feb. issue of “Rural Perspectives,” published by the Center for Rural Pennsylvania, a legislative agency of the Pennsylvania General Assembly.

  1. Some of that donuts mix is in my freezer. In the form of donuts.

  2. When you make the donuts, give me a call.
