The "I Really Miss That" or "I Haven't Had That In Years" Thread

If they carry prickly pear, it's in grocery. If not, you'd likely find it at a store that carries Hispanic foods.

...known as "nopales" in spanish.

I also miss Whataburger.

I really miss the freedoms that seemed to be everywhere when I was a kid. The government is now involved in way too many aspects of our lives.

Wisconsin Lake Perch on Fridays - preferably Bay Perch from the fish guy in Little Suamico or one of a few places left around Green Bay that still serve real Bay Perch there.

I DO NOT miss the weather.

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!

I can find it from a Japanese market...but the shipping makes it cost prohibitive.

I just had some boudin for the very first time. My buddy told me, make sure you get some boudin while heading thru Louisiana. Stopped at two different roadside food shacks, that stuff was darn good.

He is going to be bringing me back a few pounds next time he is flying out there. Scroz, I believe it has rice, meat, veggies and spices inside of it. Pretty sure it's not blood sausage.
