While we're still talking about the strange and unusual (but when aren't we here, really?), I thought I'd share one of my favorite mail-order food links from the Delaware Valley, as part of the Jersey Exile's survival toolkit. Philadelphia has a wonderful place called the Reading Terminal Market, once the terminus of the famous Reading railroad, then later an important culinary landmark, as various food vendors took up residence there to hawk their victuals. Threatened with extinction at the end of the 20th Century, the Market was saved by a city that put its money where its mouth was, in more ways than one, and mobilized to preserve it as the gritty living thing it was, and not some mall-ified simulacrum. To this day you can sit down and eat fresh apple fritters from a Mennonite waitress, just steps away from Rocco's Hoagies - where they pile a hard roll chock full of only the finest Italian lunchmeats and Provolone cheese so sharp it makes your head spin when you bite into it! Spices are still sold by the pound, and the butchers and fish vendors are the real deal. There is a curious little candy store in the Market, as well. Chocolate by Mueller is a family-owned sweet shop whose claim to fame is a series of anatomically-correct body parts. Get your mind out of the gutter, now! Not those body parts, but things like ears, noses, human hearts, even brains. Mueller's started selling this odd speciality due to its proximity to some of the finest hospitals in America, whose resident physicians kept on asking for custom novelty orders of chocolate and white chocolate organs. Now there are always a few body parts on display in the glass case, along with the more-mainstream fare, especially around Valentine's Day. For what better way to say "I love you" is there, than with a four-chambered milk chocolate heart?
