Pronounced "speedee".

Spiedies are marinated cubes of meat cooked on a skewer and served on a French roll.

Spiedies originated from Italy, but are very popular in the Broome County area of upstate New York.

Traditionally, spiedies were made using lamb. Pork, chicken, and beef are great meat choices, as well.
