I need ideas!!

Bob Pierson (the gentleman I work for at Farm to City) is going to a meeting next week on value-added foods made from Pennsylvania farm products, sponsored by Penn State. He wants to bring ideas to this meeting on what people in the Philadelphia area want to have in terms of value-added foods (transformed by cooking, canning, freezing, or special preparation).  So!  What foods would you like to see in local stores, the Winter Harvest buying club, the Fair Food Farmstand in the Reading Terminal Market, etc., that can be made from food produced in PA (from produce, meat, poultry, eggs, dairy products and combinations)?  General categories of ideas include specialty cheese and sausages, minimally-processed food, ready to cook dishes.

You can leave your ideas as comments to this entry, or email them to me (my first name [at] farmtocity.org) with VALUE ADDED in the subject line.

(To clarify, please note this isn’t a wishlist for a particular shopping location like the Farmstand, or produce varieties you wish farmers would grow.  It’s just a general wishlist for value-added products you wish were available in the Philadelphia area.)
