Hi Dave,

DD> One of my favourite sandwiches (and an Illinois icon) is made with
DD> fresh hams.

RH> Have to try it next time we're in the area.

DD> Not from the original location, though. It was converted to a Pig Hip
DD> Museum in 1991 and operated until the "tragic fire" in 2007. All that
DD> remains is an informational plaque attached to a boulder and a
DD> restored Pig Hip sign on the original site of the restaurant.

DD>       Title: Route 66 Pig Hip Sandwich
DD>  Categories: Pork, Sauces, Sandwiches
DD>       Yield: 4 Servings

DD> Here's a link to the story and hist'ry of the famous stop:

OK, we're outbound right now but a bit south of that. We're in TX for an
RV/ham radio rally, then on to see daughters/families and the annular
solar eclipse. So far nothing spectacular in the line of meals but hope
to hit up a German place or two in our travels, SIL mentioned one in the
SLC area to try.

DD> I am told that one can still get a "Pig Hip" at a couple of family
DD> cafe spots in Lincoln, IL (next off-ramp up the road). But, heck I can
DD> make my own as long as I have the sauce and some fresh pig hip (
DD> uncured ham).

Not sure how we'll head back east, depends on the weather but will keep
this in mind if we go thru IL.
