2 hours ago, cakewalk said:I think Pennsylvania Dutch is a much broader designation than just the Amish, and it refers to food (or culture in its various aspects) that originated in Pennsylvania from various groups of German immigrants. The Amish are just one of those groups. But just because the food originated in a particular place doesn't mean it would lose its name if it spread elsewhere. (I've actually never heard the term Pennsylvania Amish Dutch in reference to food.)
Yeah! That!
One of my ancestors—my maternal grandmother's line—came here, to Philadelphia, from the Palatinate of the Rhine, in 1733 via the King of England.
As did many Amish (or Pennsylvania Dutch),
Many of their food traditions were/are the same.
