 JK> Yes, the Spiedie fest is Binghamton's big-summer-To-Do-Event <grin>.. 
 JK> Here's some info

 ML> Interesting that Gail and Dale approached it from the perspective
 ML> of a hot-air balloon fest, whereas it focus should be on the speedys.

  Tell that to the designers of the web page.   Almost all you see is
  pictures of hot-air balloons, and a few carnival type scenes.   The
  mention and definition of Spedies is buried down on one of the sub
  pages.

 JK> For those who do not know what a spiedie is, this is the famous food
 JK> of our area, here's a description from Wikipedia :)

   Thanks -- I did not know that.   It seems that many of the areas
   where we go have hidden (and not so hidden) special foods.   In
   Springfield it was the horseshoe sandwich.   Canada has poutine (not
   really a local single city speciality, but very good).  The
   north-west has Dungeoness crabs.  Maryland has steamed blue crabs and
   crabcakes.  Boston area has clam shacks which serve delicious whole
   belly fried clams.   New England has lobster.

 ML> Spiedie meat cubes can also be eaten straight off the wooden
 JK> skewer or can be served in salads, stir fries, and a number of other

  I wonder how these differ from the meat on skewers served at the
  Brazilian type places.   Gail observes that the Spiedie seems to be
  much smaller cut than the meats on the Brazilian skewers -- but does
  the marinate and spicing share some similarity?
