****WHAT ARE YOU MISSING* WHAT ARE YOU CRAVING***
What did you find in your local grocery, growing up that you can't find now?
I'll start.... I was raised on the East Coast - and I grew up with a great Chinese BBQ Sauce - Ah-So-Sauce. Can't find it on the West Coast - Hell I can't find it in North Carolina lol What are you missing/craving - something tasty you grew up with that isn't available where you are now? Inquiring minds wanna know ... I also miss Drakes Cakes Ring Dings - My Queendom for a Ring Dings Tasty Cakes Yankee Doodles And I grew up with Hot dogs and beans as being the staple for Saturday nites. Where or where are the B&M Brick Oven Baked Beans and Brown Bread in a can? Prince Spaghetti - Noodles and Sauces - Wednesday was Prince Spaghetti day in my neighborhood. Share your favorite foods and make our mouths water *laffin* |
My Great Gramma's favorite .... (can't find them anywhere!)

missing
So many things. I grew up in Northeast Pa. I really miss the foods. Just can't find them anywere but there. I don't miss living there, I do miss my family being close by , but the foods are what I crave. Things most people never heard of. Things like helushki, pierogi's , lots of Italian foods and Polish and Jewish and Greek. I really miss a good hoagie. And the pizza. Duck soup. Homemade horseradish sauce. Fresh meat that a real butcher just cut or prepared. Not something that sits in a lighted window case for 7 days, after being shipped frozen from who knows where. Middlesworth potato chips. Tastycake peanut butter cup cakes. My big sister will send some to me occasional. Fresh seafood, shell fish mostly especially clams. They are grossly over priced , very hard to even find, usually very small and of poor quality here in Oklahoma. Back in PA you could get them by the hundreds anywhere real cheap. Steamed clams is my most fav.food in the whole world. Okay that's enough for now.

fizzle sticks
metallic colored metal glasses...kool aid tasted the best in them! the feel of plastic wading pools on the bottom of my tiny feet when I was a child puppies in the house smells of horse feed with molasses in it grandchildren VCRs |
Gritty cornmeal... I know, sounds weird, but cornbread just doesn't come out right with the over refined product that's sold now days.

homemade Soft Maple PattyCakes from a little gift shop in Luray Virginia....When I say soft maple, I don't mean the kind that's shaped like maple leaves and are so hard they chip your teeth. These were little round pattycakes that came with or without pecans almost the texture of fudge.
And very soft, warm donuts smothered in maple icing..... I can't find maple donuts anywhere! Even at Krispy Kreme! *pout* In Pennsylvania, it was a shame that a shop called Maple Donuts didn't actually have any Maple Donuts! SHAME ON THEM! |
|
Yes and they had blue, green and pink. I think Scotts makes or made it.

I miss.. her laughter and laughing together
I miss.. the subtle touch of her I miss.. waking up with her I miss.. hearing about her day I miss.. leaving her post-it notes in her purse or gym bag I miss.. looking into her eyes and finding out what I see I miss.. dancing with her in the living room in silence or to the music (just her and I) I miss.. her touch I miss.. watching her cry I miss.. holding her I miss.. listening I miss.. her kiss I guess one day I won't miss having a partner because I will have one to share it all with. :) |
ok heres one
lemon coolers. They were these hard cookies that came in a box with some white powder covering them. Although they were hard they were very good. I loved them as a kid.
|
I still miss Dunkin Donuts glazed, marble cruellers. Much of the other stuff folks are missing we still have here. Find me a crueller and we can barter :) |

penny candy
Penny candy. Where I come from you could go into a candy store and buy penny candy. If you had 5 cents you could buy one red fish, one jaw breaker, one roll of smarties, one slurpie, one tootsie roll. I miss that. I miss the way those candy stores smelled on the inside too.
|
Well damn it...
I didn't know it was a FOOD thread.... hahaha Well then I want and need and have to have my My Mom's Swiss steak, mash potatoes and gravy! |
