I'm in Jersey, suburb of Philly. And no, we don't eat Pork roll here in the south, the garden part.
but they could deliver a Tastykake out there by covered wagon and it would still be the same consistency when it finally arrived.
This is true ***now***. But REAL tastykakes, tandytakes, butterscotch krimpets, etc. stopped being made years ago. They removed the transfat and OMG that transfat must be awfully tasty. The crap they are now is awful.
I love soft pretzels but don't indulge.
One of my kids lives in Dallas. He immediately heads to the neighborhood pizza place for a real cheesesteak, and yes Amoroso rolls are best. My other kid traveled across the US from Nov to Sept and craved real pizza, super thin crust, stringy cheese, slightly tart sauce. I think he ate one a day for awhile once he got home.
Dallas BBQ is amazing. But what they list as vegetables is crazy. I think I saw green beans on one menu once, but they were DEEP FRIED!
I would seriously miss Jersey farm markets, fresh corn, Jersey tomatoes-best anywhere, peaches, strawberries, blueberries, apples. I'm sure such things are grown elsewhere but I'm convinced ours are best. Except maybe Georgia peaches.
