While stationed at Misawa AB, Japan from 80-83 I grew very fond of Georgia Iced Coffee. It was sold from vending machines and it was delicious. It's actually made by Coca-Cola but it's very difficult, if not impossible, to find in the US. You can buy a 30-pack from Amazon for $190. It's good, but not that good.
But, thanks to Sharpienads, I now have a 30-pack chilling in my fridge. He humped it all the way back from Japan just so I'd stop whining about it. We each had one and, after almost 32 years, it was as good as I remember.

I remember growing up with real local cheeses. Moving around as a military brat the cheese changes drastically as you move around the country and the world.
Now with all the maga supermarket chains all cheese is just blah unless you go to a specialty shop.
For those that have been in Canada or near the border, poutine, ketchup potato chips, butter tarts.
From France, fresh Baguettes and Macaroons.
From Germany, Roggenmischbrot and regional sausages
From Hawaii, Saimin soup, fish tacos and loco moco

Information on the net is sketchy as to whether this is still available; it seems that Snapple started bottling Rain in aluminum cans, which completely screwed up the delicate flavor.
With a little experimentation, you might be able to mock some up in your kitchen, if you have a sodastream.
The ingredients are:
Water, Corn Syrup High Fructose, Citric Acid, Flavoring Natural, Flavors Natural Prickly Pear Cactus, Grapes Juice White, Agave Nectar, Astragalus Extract, Ginseng Extract, Pears Prickly Cactus Puree
It seems to me that you could locate the ingredients at Walmart: citric acid is in the canning section, white grape juice and agave is in grocery, astragalus and ginseng is in pharmacy. If they carry prickly pear, it's in grocery. If not, you'd likely find it at a store that carries Hispanic foods.
It's something to think about, if nothing else. :)

Fish tacos? From Hawaii? WTF ...
You can get loco moco at L&L's on Powers & Barnes in Colo Spgs. The Asia-Pacific Market on Platte & Wooten has S&S saimin in the frozen food section.
What I miss from Hawai`i Nei are fresh mangos and papaya right off the tree (well, usually picked 2-3 days before perfect ripeness to stay ahead of the dang birds) and Wahiawa pineapple picked perfectly ripe off the plant the day I took it home (one of the perks working at Dole -- we knew what fields had the lowest acid and highest sugar contents, I could order a case of 5 or 6 pines for $8 and ask to pickers to have put ones in the case that would be ready now, in 2 days, 4 days ...).

Grrr. A lot of these little Asian markets don't have websites, or they don't have comprehensive websites that you can plug in a product search. Next time I'm at the Commissary, I can check there. We're also heading to the East Coast to visit people, so I can poke my nose in places and see if I can't find something.
Some thoughts: there is a Coca-Cola Distribution center in Denver; you could always give them a call and see if it's possible to order some Georgia Original Coffee from them. You might also give the Pacific Market a call and make sure they are receiving the beverage, and simply haven't updated their website yet. The search I conducted suggests tat this particular brand of coffee can be found in Japan, South Korea, and India...so all of those markets are fair game.
Thanks for the suggestions, Great-Kazoo! :)

And my grandma made a chicken fried steak that was the same way, just incredible. Never found any other that came close. She made the most killer pies too.
Oh, and mom's homemade chicken noodle soup, oh Jesus. She made her own noodles.....made a big batch of dough, rolled it out flat, then sliced up these big, thick, fat noodles. Oh lawdy that was good! Same with the chicken and dumplings.

Bacon Grease AND Garlic, is the only way to do any kind of home fry, hash brown etc. along with peppers, onions, and garlic.
I know what you mean. Our grandmother made a world class lemon meringue pie, every thing she cooked was from scratch. Even watching her make them, no one ever came close.
I believe part of family cooking was the comfort level of being in their home. We'd do thanksgiving, or Christmas in the 2 bedroom apt her and my grandfather raised 6 kids. Between the kids, her grand kids and in-laws there would be 28 people eating. Adults in the boys room, kids in the hallway. Never a complaint, never an argument. Something pop up, she'd be there with her hands balled up asking who wants to be first, in that thick off the boat irish accent.
She died while cooking dinner, always in the kitchen.

I miss being as young as my kids are. I healed a lot faster then.

Chicken & dumplings. I grew up eating them in Chicago, but when we moved here mom says the recipe doesn't work. The dumplings just fall apart, evidently due to the altitude. There are recipes that do work here, but using things like canned dough. A real dumpling is a big heavy chewy/spongy ball of doughy heaven. Looks like a piece of cauliflower.
I told this to a family the other day that just moved here from the east coast, and I thought the kids were going to cry. They said it was their favorite recipe. The mom comforted them and said, "he's just joking baby, he's just joking. We'll figure it out." I don't know if it can be figured out. I'm sure my mom has tried dozens of times.
I lost my dad years ago and just recently lost my grandma and my MIL all within two weeks. I miss them all terribly right now... sorry might have been a little bit of a debbie downer now.
I miss the simpler times in Colorado and miss youth, getting old sucks.
I really miss going to just about any store and finding .22 shorts, longs, long rifles, or birdshot, and plenty of it, for well under a buck for a box of 50!
I also miss being able to find old used Harleys and muscle cars for cheap. Back in my yoot, $500-$1500 could get ya a Panhead, early Shovelhead, or just about any kind of 60's muscle car.
I also miss my job in telecom working for Global Crossing, before Level 3 bought it and threw us all out in the trash.
I'm originally from Colorado but spent a ton of my youth in the south and I sure do miss Bojangles and Zaxbys chicken. Why those restaurants don't make their way out here is beyond me.
Isn't or wasn't there a Bojangles in a gas station off of Castle Pines Pkwy and I25?
sent from a soup can and some string..

Pork, potato and cheese burrito from Miguels' Jr. I So. Cal.
How many remember The Riv, off of Colorado Blvd, behind Celebrity Sports (on Kentucky, if I remember correctly)? Great happy hours, and very good food, IMHO. Perfect divey atmosphere. Puerco Especial, I can almost taste it.
There is another place that calls itself The Riviera, in close proximity, but do not be fooled. No way, No how. Different owners, different menu, nowhere near the atmosphere.

Pasties from the roadside stands outside Petoskey
Fresh caught Chesapeake Bay crab from the waterfront in DC after a Sunday wandering through the Smithsonians
Sandwiches from Koch's Deli in West Philadelphia
Cappuccino and pastries in Piazza San Marco as dawn breaks over Venice
A time when being a Boy Scout was good and being a parasite on society was bad
The simplicity of kids holding a bake sale without the Health Department demanding kitchen inspections or the city requiring business licenses or the FDA whining about all the sweets
First Ladies who were against drug abuse or illiteracy instead of trying to dictate what we ate
Beach days with the family in Punalu`u
A time when "Blazing Saddles" and "Young Frankenstein" were considered edgy and risque

Overall my Mom was not a great cook. But... she made potato salad that was to die for. I miss that. And my Dad's advice that was always spot on.
Rhubarb cake from grandma. Perfect mix of sweet and sour

I had Rhubarb/Cherry tort at the Powderhouse in SD last week, yum.
We had an evil rhubarb plant in our garden and my mom made the best stuff. Rhubarb pies, jams. Grandma was the best cook ever. Hands down best dumplings in this world. Those old German/Belgian broads knew how to cook. Pa's side is Irish so we all know how to drink too. :D

Those uncontrolled teenage erections that happened when the wind blew just right, the teacher asked you to solve a problem on the board, or a girls dad who you were about to ask out, was talking about how much his daughter meant to her. Things like that...
WhataBurgers ...
I came here to say that.
Pine nuts (piñon ) the last few years have sucked. And I mean the soft ones not the hard piece of crap ones the sell on federal.
Let me know if you come across any, now you got me hungry

A Bobbie from Capriotti's would be pretty good tonight.

Well.... I'll be damned. Looks like I won't be missing it for a little while. Stumbled across some locally this evening and stocked up. It's the brand I grew up with too. Made in my home town of Beaumont, TX.
