As Pop-Tarts are to Yanti...

Same for me, BBQ sauce! I grew up in Cincinnati and a like a BBQ that is only sold there. I import to MN whenever I get a chance and when I go to long between visits I have it mailed.

Montreal steak spice, we always get visitors from Canada to bring us some over, and Moose tracks ice cream, sadly we can't get deliveries of that...

Somerset brie and other really good English cheeses, also can't get those brought over for us due to quaratine restrictions.

Prawn cocktail flavoured crisps.

Oh goodness, now Ive started I can think of endless things I miss from the UK or Canada!

That's a rather interesting coincidence...northern Kentucky/Cincinnati area is where my extended family is from and where mom is flying back from today.  We also ship in chili from Dixie and Glier's Goetta but it's the Open Pit sauce I eat with everything.

mmmmmmm  Moooose tracks ice cream.......

I gotta run to the store.

Love the BBQ in Cincinnati. Every time I get a chance to stop at Cincinnati, I have to make trip to the Montgomery Inn for the BBQ Ribs

Ummm homemade mozarella cheese, prosciutto and fresh baked bread...and limoncello after dinner........i have to book a trip soon..

Gimme!

Seriously?!?  You know what was in that suitcase? BBQ sauce, stuffed animals, and a bag of dirty laundry.  Gotta watch out for those hillbilly terrorists smuggling sauce and toys into the midwest I guess.

We are too close to Kansas City.  KC Masterpiece and similar sauces dominate the market.  Completely different base ingredients.

hmm this is a hard one but i will just say - goat cheese Ricotta. we had a friends family that raised goats and would give us some occasionally. it was so tasty.

I also miss another friends moms home made pizza bread. mmm....pizza bread.

I have two, one is quickly becoming less of an issue, one isn't.  The first is Fat Tire amber ale, you used to only be able to get this out west, but distribution is slowly creeping east, my sister picked some up in WI, almost to MI!!

The other is Caffrey's Irish Ale.  It's imported from Ireland, but Coor's owns the rights to it in North America and won't import it because they don't want it to compete with Killian's.  Even though its more of a Beamish/Boddington's type of beer.  Mmmm that was good stuff....

Queen Sweet Corn in the summertime...

$1 Bushwackers at the FloraBama....

LeLe Gibble's fried chicken, cold, on the beach with the Blue Angels flying overhead...

Petty's Butcher shop in Orlando.  It's not that the meat is any better than what I get in Chicago, but the experience can be replicated. 

When I arrive at Petty's i head straight to the keg, yes they have a keg there and it's complimentary.  Then I peruse the counter a couple of times, talk to the workers, and look for some side items all while refilling my cup as many times as I want.  We will usually spend about 2 hours there along with the $200 we buy for dinner.

What about the OG?

You.

Errr, I mean, all the fine BT piglets

Oh wait, food?

Pop Tarts, obviously. The world's best BTer of the moment whom I love forever (that was you last week, Eric, for your most brilliant Pop Tart thread ...) is Nicole83, who is sending me JELLY BEANS ...

I do miss soul food, Southern fare like chicken fried steak 'n' eggs, American-style breakfast sausage, and Ethiopian food.

Oh, and we can't get any decent junky cereals here. I want me Froot Loops and Lucky Charms!!! Part of this complete training regimen.

And decent soymilk, unsweetened. The crap we get here isn't much for soymilk and it's mostly sugar.
