Schnitz the excuse me. It gives you the schnitz that says,
if you grew up eating for apple pie, I'm a
schnitz pie, sometimes referred to as snitz pie right or
Brian Uh. It might surprise or even shock you. It
relies on dried apples, rehydrated and simmered with spices until

(06:15):
they become a thick apple sauce like filling. Right.

Speaker 4 (06:18):
I was gonna say, isn't it because that's what I
like apple pie without a lot of apple in it.
I don't like Greek apple no, but I like apple pill,
which is why I love a McDonald's a hot apple pie,
because I love the filling.

Speaker 1 (06:31):

schnitz pie still carries that old rhythm of the season's sentiment.

By the God, it's like my childhood in a pan.

That sounds great.

Speaker 5 (09:02):
It was pretty tasty.

Speaker 4 (09:03):
No, No, what is the It's like the Amish version
of paiea, but not made with rice.

Speaker 5 (09:10):
What you can care it to something else?

Speaker 1 (09:16):
It's just like a well it's a cast roll.

Speaker 5 (09:18):
So that means that Christa never have paia growing up. No, serious.

Speaker 1 (09:24):
Do you know what pie is?

Speaker 8 (09:26):
Is it kind of like a jumbalaya that's fair, which
you never had until I was in my twenties.

Speaker 4 (09:32):
The yeah, I'll give you that a little bit, A
little bit mate. It's mostly rice and then you just
put whatever you want in there, like honestly, you could
put anything in in paea.

Speaker 1 (09:41):
Pie is great, Pie is fantastic?

Speaker 5 (09:45):
Are you thinking of is it see? I don't want
to say it like it's an Asian word. Oh, because
it's not neil masati? Do what exactly?

Speaker 4 (09:57):
That's what they yell when you walk in and said
that enos when you walk into an ominous restaurant. Oh, yamasai, yamasai.

Speaker 5 (10:06):
So it's like yum a SETI. I don't know, it's
always what is It's a one dish wonder that combines noodles,
ground beef and a creamy sauce top.

Speaker 1 (10:17):
That's it.

Speaker 5 (10:17):
Bread cubes or crumbs.

Speaker 1 (10:20):
They love bread man, they love bread.

Speaker 5 (10:22):
What is the sauce?

Speaker 1 (10:23):
Is it just?

Speaker 5 (10:24):
Is it just cheesy?

Speaker 1 (10:26):
No, it's probably like a It's probably like a cream sauce.
You know what it looks like? You know what would
have been better?

Speaker 7 (10:31):
Is it?

Speaker 5 (10:31):
No?

Speaker 1 (10:32):
Because it's not dark like stroking off.

Speaker 5 (10:35):
It's comfort food through and through, supposed to be really good.
Christ has ever had this one?

Speaker 7 (10:39):
Though?

Speaker 1 (10:40):
Have you had yamus high?

Speaker 8 (10:42):
I don't know if that's what it's called, but it
does sound familiar like I've had it.

Speaker 1 (10:46):
Right, But it's like noodles, don't they You.

Speaker 2 (10:48):
Said like beef stroganof, right, Yeah, but it doesn't.

Speaker 4 (10:51):
It doesn't have to say wow, that picture looks doesn't
that look more cheesy than look cream like beef strogan off.

Speaker 5 (10:56):
It's more creamy. This looks like it's just melted cheese.

Speaker 1 (10:59):
See Yeah, but it's got peas in it.

Speaker 5 (11:01):
That's fine.

Speaker 1 (11:02):
I like no, I like that.

Speaker 5 (11:03):
I like that some family sneak in peas, carrots, corn
or more, while others just stick to noodles, be even sauce.

Speaker 1 (11:10):
So it's like a it's like a noodle cooggle.

Speaker 5 (11:14):
It looks great, yum ASETI might resemble any old noodle bake,
but for Amish families, it's a comfort dish that warms
you up and stretches ingredients to last.

Speaker 1 (11:26):
That makes sense. You want to fill up.

Speaker 6 (11:28):
Like noodles are really good too.

Speaker 1 (11:33):
You know what.

Speaker 4 (11:33):
I'm glad to hear you I'm glad to hear you
talk so favorably about the food, because sometimes you don't
paint a great picture of your interactions with the Amish.

Speaker 6 (11:43):
I've never said I am Amish.

Speaker 1 (11:45):
I do well, no kidding.

Speaker 4 (11:47):
Nobody's accusing you of actually being Amish. Um.

Speaker 6 (11:51):
Yeah, I know about them and food.

Speaker 1 (11:55):
Do you like driving by them?

Speaker 6 (11:57):
You drive around?

but very hip to Amish food?

Speaker 5 (12:07):

is coffee soup? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (12:10):

please eight six six to Elliott eight six six two

(12:34):
three five five four six eight coffee soup And Diane, you.

Speaker 1 (12:37):
Said you wanted bread yep, not crackers. This sounds horrible
to me, by the way.

Speaker 5 (12:43):
Oh, I thought you were kind of propping it up
like you want to try it.

Speaker 4 (12:49):
Freshly brewed coffee is poured over pieces of ripped up bread,
adds sugar or cream to taste. Each person is free
to does customize it as they please.

Speaker 1 (13:03):
Some people prefer to.

Speaker 4 (13:04):
Make it with salting crackers instead of bread. Some like
it's sweet, while others add more coffee for bitterness.

Speaker 1 (13:13):
Doesn't that sound horrible?

Speaker 5 (13:14):
Yes?

Speaker 4 (13:15):
They said it's very big, and then your dad gets
a job. Well, I mean obviously it's very cheap. Yes, yes,
but things can be cheap. Got everything else you mentioned
sounded pretty good?

Speaker 7 (13:29):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (13:29):
Not this, But is it better than you think it is?
Like saltings and soup is good.

Speaker 1 (13:36):
I like coffee. I like soup.

Speaker 5 (13:38):
It's not just soup, though it's coffee soup. The pictures
look disgusting.

Speaker 4 (13:49):
It'd be no diffult if I if I just took
a handful of like oyster crackers and threw them in
my coffee.

Speaker 1 (13:54):
It's the same thing.

Speaker 5 (13:55):
For mini amish adults. Coffee soup is tied to warm
memories of kitchen. Tap was crowded with siblings, emphasis on crowded, Yeah,
no kidding. Yes.

Speaker 2 (14:06):
Meanwhile, in Pennsylvania's page on Facebook says it was born
from simplicity and necessity.

Speaker 7 (14:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (14:11):
No, Well listen, nobody has ever said, wow, look how
loaded the Amish are.

Speaker 1 (14:16):
So No, they ate a lot.

Speaker 2 (14:18):
Of especially on mornings when time, money, and ingredients were limited.

Speaker 4 (14:23):
Okay, can I argue about what will you show that
to Diane?

Speaker 5 (14:26):
It's popping up?

Speaker 1 (14:27):
Yes, that's not how you eat coffee soup.

Speaker 5 (14:29):
That's bread. And they did that is what they did
to pafood life dot com.

Speaker 4 (14:37):
That is.

Speaker 1 (14:40):
No, I don't like that. If I were gonna have
it looks like you tripped. No, you know what it
looks It looks like that might be.

Speaker 5 (14:47):
The simplest recipe I've ever seen.

Speaker 4 (14:49):
So I got this bowl, I put coffee in it,
and then the bread. Didn't either cut it up or
rip it up. I just put the whole piece of
bread right into the bowl.

Speaker 5 (14:58):
You skip the third sep oh uh oh, blow on
in one. Put bread in bowl two, poor coffee. Three.
Sprinkle with some sugar.

Speaker 4 (15:06):
They love sweets, man, they love they are they?

Speaker 1 (15:10):
Dennis?

Speaker 2 (15:11):
No, I was gonna That's what I was asking like,
Is it is that so much sugar that they eat?
Is that a problem for them when it comes to
the dentist.

Speaker 1 (15:19):
You know, what. I don't know. Christen Ais have to
go to the dentist.

Speaker 4 (15:23):
But I've never seen an Amish wear like a blood
sugar thing on their arms.

Speaker 1 (15:28):
Very better.

Speaker 5 (15:30):
Cut up is better, I don't know. That's just identifiable
bread when it's together.

Speaker 1 (15:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (15:38):
By the way, ready in five minutes. If you've got
currg even less, even.

Speaker 5 (15:43):
Less, how long does it take to brew the coffee?
That's it?

Speaker 4 (15:48):
Yeah, because you could rip the bread if you choose
to do so much.

Speaker 5 (15:53):
Maybe this is what we try tomorrow. Forget everything else.
Coffee soup because everything else sounded good, but this would
be sude.

Speaker 1 (16:00):
I would crush a yamasati.

Speaker 5 (16:02):
This would be something where we're challenging our own taste buds.

Speaker 1 (16:10):
I bet it's not bad.

Speaker 5 (16:11):
So this person butter all over this altia.

Speaker 4 (16:14):
Yeah yeah, but remember there are people who like butter
in their coffee.

Speaker 1 (16:18):
That's not me. That's not me.

Speaker 4 (16:21):
Also, like I wouldn't sprinkle sugar on it. But this
isn't coffee, that's true, that's coffee soup.

Speaker 2 (16:28):
It's cool. If the Amish are on TikTok busting down barriers, no,
you know what.

Speaker 1 (16:37):
They can be on TikTok.

Speaker 4 (16:38):
They probably don't record and post somebody else.

Speaker 2 (16:42):
Does, Oh, you can take a picture with us. Person
looks like they recorded it themselves.

Speaker 1 (16:50):
Is she homos or is she Mennonite?

Speaker 5 (16:52):
Or she cosplaying? Oh?

Speaker 2 (16:54):
Oh that could be maybe.

Speaker 1 (16:55):
What's my favorite menoni joke?

Speaker 5 (16:58):
The only one you know?

Speaker 1 (16:59):
Yes? Do you call what do you call a slutty homage? Nope?

Speaker 4 (17:04):
I haven't rot No, but the punchline is two men
a nite.

Speaker 1 (17:08):
But it's something with slutty.

Speaker 5 (17:14):
All right? So are we doing this tomorrow?

Speaker 1 (17:15):
Coffee shoop?

Speaker 5 (17:16):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (17:18):
I don't have any bread at home.

Speaker 5 (17:19):
I think we can find some.

Speaker 4 (17:21):
Okay, well, I'm just saying I don't want to there's
anybody I have coffee here?

Speaker 5 (17:26):
So do you also not have crackers?

Speaker 1 (17:28):
Do we want bread or crackers?

Speaker 5 (17:30):
I think bread?

Speaker 1 (17:33):
Which ones?

Speaker 5 (17:34):
To go?

Speaker 1 (17:34):
Bread?

Speaker 5 (17:34):
A lot of them use just white bread and some
go a little heartier with sour dough. But I think
let's go white bread, not ripped up. You just want
the one s toffee and sugar. No butter, No, I
don't want butter.

Speaker 1 (17:47):
I don't want butter.

Speaker 5 (17:48):
We could probably there's probably isn't there bread in the kitchen?
We could do this right now?

Speaker 4 (17:53):
Is there there's no bread in there? You sure no,
but I promise you there's no bread in there.

Speaker 5 (18:00):
All right, So tomorrow let's do it.

Speaker 1 (18:02):
Yeah, I mean, listen, you want to get into the
weekend with a party.

Speaker 5 (18:36):
No better than name for.

Speaker 1 (18:37):
Yeah, I'd get into that.

Speaker 5 (18:39):
And Brian Brian writes, I never skip Lavina's amish cooking videos.
That's who that was.

Speaker 4 (18:46):
Oh that who's on TikTok because that's making coffee soup.

Speaker 5 (18:49):

Speaker 1 (18:50):
Oh but look she does cream. Oh that looks curdled.

Speaker 4 (18:55):
Kristin, do you know this place in Cleveland, just outside
of Cleveland, hold on on the rise Artisan Breads. It's

Speaker 4 (19:16):
No, I mean you don't. Oh no, I want to go.
I want to go. You have no idea what they're
getting ready to do? What do you mean I've never
heard of this place. Out of the hundreds of thousands
of bakeries in the United States, On the Rise Artisan Breads,
which is based in Cleveland Heights. Cleveland Heights, Ohio, has

(19:40):
been selected for Team USA.

Speaker 5 (19:45):
For a team or to represent the USA to.

Speaker 4 (19:47):
Represent the USA at the Bread Olympics in France. Bread

Speaker 2 (20:42):
Yeah, there's Shaker Heights. Aren't they Cleveland or Cleveland Heights?

Speaker 4 (20:45):

Speaker 4 (20:48):
They'll face the top kneaders, rollers, crimpers, and delicate oven
operators from twenty other countries, marking the first time since
twenty seventeen that the US has participated in the Bread Olympics.
When we present our baguettes to the judges, it needs
to weigh exactly two hundred and fifty grams and be

(21:08):
exactly fifty five centimeters long. They'll have two and a
half hour prep time and an eight and a half
hour bake time to complete everything.

Speaker 1 (21:18):
I would camp out at that place, yes, Kristen.

Speaker 6 (21:21):
Another reason to road trip to Ohio.

Speaker 2 (21:27):
It smells so oh my god.

Speaker 4 (21:29):
I can't even imagine how good If they're representing the
United States, how good do they have to be.

Speaker 5 (21:36):
There's got to be a line every day, wouldn't you
think so?

Speaker 4 (21:38):
Or is it just like everybody there is like, oh yeah,
we just pop in and grab a bread and we're out.

Speaker 1 (21:43):
No.

Speaker 5 (21:44):
I bet this is hard to get, especially if you
want a certain type and don't just want what's left over.

Speaker 1 (21:50):
Look at the croissants.

Speaker 2 (21:51):
Oh honey, ooat.

Speaker 2 (22:13):
Dian, Oh my god, I could eat what is this?
Is that like an olive loaf?

Speaker 1 (22:18):
I love an olive loaf as a matter of fact.
As a matter of fact, who owns Wegmans?

Speaker 5 (22:23):
Hold on, hold on, let me get my pen. This
is a matter of fact.

Speaker 1 (22:26):
Who owns Wegmans. What is the guy's name? Who's the head?
Is it Danny? Yeah? Get the olive loaf back at Wegmans.

Speaker 2 (22:35):
You some bitch discontinued.

Speaker 7 (22:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (22:37):
And by the way, I've been sitting on this for
probably the better part of the year and a half
two years. They used to have a great olive loaf
and it's gone. And I would always say to the
person behind the counter, can you slice that? And I'd
eat it in the car on the way home and
I'd get like the flower all over me.

Speaker 1 (22:55):
But yeah, Danny, Wegman, fix it. We are sold out.

Speaker 5 (23:01):
So they post when they're when they're done, all out
of loads.

Speaker 1 (23:05):
Yeah, he said.

Speaker 4 (23:06):
He gets up every day at four o'clock, goes in there,
and every day he hopes to make the bread better
than the next day.

Speaker 1 (23:13):
Look at that, Yes.

Speaker 5 (23:15):
You see that.

Speaker 1 (23:16):
Never even heard of it.

Speaker 5 (23:17):
Caramel pastry cream and apple butter.

Speaker 1 (23:20):
Oh, so he probably knows the homage.

Speaker 4 (23:22):
Oh, maybe he's having Maybe he's upright now having a
little coffee soup.

Speaker 1 (23:26):
Where am I going Kristen's tomorrow? Hi, yell in the morning. Hi, Hi,
who's this?

Speaker 8 (23:34):
Hey?

Speaker 3 (23:35):
This is Aubrien.

Speaker 1 (23:36):
Hi, Aubrian. What can I do for you?

Speaker 4 (23:39):
Hey?

Speaker 3 (23:39):
I'm actually from about twenty five minutes south of Millersburg
in Ohio. So I'm very familiar with Amish country out there.

Speaker 4 (23:46):
Oh I bet yeah, I bet you are. Have you
had coffee soup?

Speaker 3 (23:51):
I have never had or heard of coffee soup?

Speaker 1 (23:53):
Sounds horrible, Yeah, it does.

Speaker 3 (23:56):
It sounds terrible. But the other dish that you're talking about,
they've got so many like restaurants that are like buffet
style up there, which really just lays out like the noodles,
all your like Thanksgiving kind of meals. That's pretty much
what that dish is, and so they've got freezers full

(24:19):
of those dishes frozen. You can just grab them, take
them home, put them in an oven and make it yourself.

Speaker 1 (24:24):
Hey, and can I can I correct something?

Speaker 4 (24:26):
Aren't Amish not really buffet as much as their cafeteria?

Speaker 3 (24:31):
What was that?

Speaker 4 (24:32):
Aren't most Amish restaurants more of a cafeteria than a buffet?

Speaker 1 (24:37):
You know, I'm a stickler.

Speaker 3 (24:42):
I wouldn't say so, it's really it's really like a buffet,
Like I wouldn't say it's like a cafeteria.

Speaker 1 (24:47):
Go in right.

Speaker 3 (24:50):
My coworkers are all like really excited them.

Speaker 4 (24:53):
Are they like, seriously, that's what we're talking about? Goddamn
coffee soup.

Speaker 3 (24:58):
They're all they're all labor and deliver nurses.

Speaker 1 (25:00):
So oh, right on, right on, I know what you
guys are doing today.

Speaker 3 (25:05):
The yeah, it is not it is down style.

Speaker 4 (25:10):
Oh yeah, no, no, no no, But what I meant,
what I meant by cafeteria is and again this is
where I'm a stickler is like everybody knows what a
buffet is. They come out, they drop the hot pot
or the serving sheet into its little cubbyhole and that's it.

Speaker 1 (25:25):
Cafeteria.

Speaker 4 (25:26):
You make your way down the line and there's usually
somebody behind it who you wish also was had like
a mouth covering, but they'll like plate your like your
like we just go to Luby's cafeteria all the time,
and they would say, like, oh, you want jello, and
they would scoop out a little jello and put it
in a dish. Or you would get like the lu
Ann platter and you would get like Salisbury's steak that

(25:47):
they would scoop out and then like the cod that
looked like it had grown smegma around the side, but
like you would get that, but that seemed very like
there was somebody on the other side that was helping you,
very cafeteria style.

Speaker 3 (26:01):
It is so busy that you have to I mean
there's something, there's somebody like every dish basically.

Speaker 1 (26:08):
Yo, that's great.

Speaker 3 (26:10):
I mean you've just got yeah, you've got so many
people going through that they're reselling it. I mean, it's
it's insane. You don't even see what's going on in
the back. I cannot imagine how many people are working
back there.

Speaker 1 (26:21):

army of them. All right, very good, thank you man,

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage

Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
