****WHAT ARE YOU MISSING* WHAT ARE YOU CRAVING***

Abigail Crabby · 12-20-2010, 10:14 PM

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*

diamondrose · 12-21-2010, 06:46 AM

I miss real italian Ice
and dunkin donut's bagels

JAGG · 12-21-2010, 08:40 AM

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.

I miss BIG JOHN"S BEANS. There was a small can of the seasoning on top of the can of beans, and you mixed them together. Yum!

Gaige · 12-21-2010, 10:22 AM

Wacky Wafers especially the banana flavored one

princessbelle · 12-21-2010, 10:23 AM

Now i just think about drinking it....and craveeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Soft*Silver · 12-21-2010, 10:48 AM

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.

Well I'm thinking - perhaps you could grind your own with a vita mix and a dry blade

Abigail Crabby · 12-21-2010, 01:15 PM

Some great posts in here

Course I'm trying to live vicariously thru what YOU had in your GROCERS shelves that can't be found anymore.

lol I'm in a retro kinda mood.

didnt they used to make blue toilet paper as well?

Kenna · 12-21-2010, 05:03 PM

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!

Abigail Crabby · 12-21-2010, 05:21 PM

Totally bad for me
but
oh
so
goooood
