The last thing Philadelphians need is more food. We're a bunch of fatties, as you've no doubt read a million times by now. And with all the fun food manufactured within a Krimpet's toss, it's little wonder why.

It's safe to say every big city has its own oddball food traditions, but close up, Philly's takes the Tastykake.

No need to mention the foodstuffs this city's most famous for--which have become such local cliches that we just can't bear to print them here. Besides, anyone in a sidewalk food cart can replicate those.

What really gets us going is the kind of quirky homegrown treats you can get only from a computerized production line (or from the Amish, who are every bit as efficient).
