Had this on a trip to Germany a few years back and it was like crack. I swear I drank cases while I was there for a week. The sell it over at German Deli but I just can't justify the cost.

Boudain

If you're referring to the blood sausage, it use to be a staple back in northern Maine. Haven't had it since I was 17.

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.

haha now that's dedication!! Thanks for the list

That's awesome! But I have good news: Pacific Mercantile Company in Denver carries several types of the coffee. Here's their website: http://www.pacificeastwest.com/nsearch.html

Look at you! You were almost my all-time hero...almost. When I went to the website and clicked on the link for the original Georgia coffee it said: "This product cannot currently be exported out of Japan."

Damn...

WHAT?!? Dammit! I am so sorry. I didn't think to check that part.

I'm not going to give up yet. I'm going to pull out my very best Google-Fu and see what else I can come up with. Standby!
