had to look it up. Found a recipe - sounds really good. Gonna try it.

True but …

The 'Isaly ham' had a distinct flavor and anyone who ever had it would not be satisfied with "any ham".
It's apparently only available now at four locations in Canton, OH.
One day shipping.

Doesn't it need to be refrigerated at all times?

They freeze the product,
pack it in dry ice,
and ship one or two day delivery
in an insulated container.

Thanks.

and try something new.

The recipe posted above looks pretty good, I'd give it a try.

It always makes me sad to think about how many historic places like this have been disappearing, to make room for more of the same bland corporate chains.

It's definitely something all Yinzers have fond memories of.

I spent a good deal of my chair swiveling youth at the Isaly’s counter!

This is proud news!!

“Chiptam” is still the best comfort food
And folding a Klondike wrapper around the ice cream treat became an art form.

Part of my high school memories.
