Food you miss/crave/wish was in your goddamn town
 

BREAKFAST TACOS (and not that McDonald's "burrito" pale imitation crap)

Pho soup

Tortilla soup that is STOCK based, not CREAM based

Osso Bucco

I crave Skyline, Krispy Kreme, and White Castle.

Chicago "stuffed" pizza, Licor de Crema Catalana. No, seriously, I wish that the latter were capable of being purchased in the Western Hemisphere without paying $35 shipping on a $14 bottle of AWESOME FUCKING DELICIOUS.

There was this Italian restaurant in my hometown that made these great sub sandwiches that they called "gondolas". I wish they had those out here.

Also, Chicago-style pizza. Just about every pizza place in CA makes New York-style pizza. It's ok, but I like my pizza to be a little thicker sometimes.

I make my pizzas in a pot becuase the pans I have aren't tall enough for it. I made one that was almost like a pizza cake. It was delicious and it slid whole out of the pot and was able to stand on its own, five and some aught inches tall.

That sounds delicious.

As for jme, ima have to go with white castle, and i wouldn't say no to0 a nearby cracker barrel either

See, that post is funny because it's followed by a signature that is ostensibly ironic about being unintelligible.

There's a White Castle a few miles from here, but I rarely go to that part of town so I never enjoy it.

I was going to ask you if that part of town was filled with minorities and that's what made you misirable about it. But I think, people of low income is a better term.

No, it's a commercial park area and nobody actually lives there except for the townie kids that never leave the Steak 'n Shake across the street from White Castle. I guess I should go there as that is where the local ALDI is located. But, truth be told, I haven't bought groceries in at least six weeks because I've been too lazy to cook. Hence, if I eat enough fast food, I eventually hate the experience of eating and I save money in the end.

I wish there were Sonics in Maryland.

I wish we had Big City Burrito on LI. Their breakfast burritos are so thick and delicious I want ONE RIGHT NOW >:

Now that I'm a vegatarian I cant really think of anything else I miss having from other places :\

Edwardos deep dish pizza, and the occasional maxwell street polish dog, of course they're not here in florida >:

I would like one of those chick-fil-a's and a carls jr. maybe jack in the box again since we lost those a long time ago and hardees (if they still exist elsewhere) that also left. but im not really into fast food much these days since i realised that mcdonalds double cheese burgers are made by the devil himself and we pretty much have everything everybody else has in there town so it gets old after a while. but yeah a chick-fil-a please.

we once have white castle in my country but not anymore. SAD.
i miss those time when i ate half dozen slyders in one shot.

Haha, 'cause they're in Chicago and you're not. :lol

I made a shrimp stock a couple days and don't know what to do with it.

put a criminal shrimp in it and then let the other shrimp throw rotten vegetables at it and jeer

Dunkin Donuts, Moe's, any good Italian

Peanut Butter Boppers.

They were these snacks back in the 80's that I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVED. They also made vanilla ones that ruled as well. I died a little the day they stopped making 'em. :(

In first grade I had these little Japanese rice cakes and they were FANTASTIC, but since then I've never been able to find them again :<

There might be an Uwajimaya around that sells them, but I never have the time to go check :(

I live in southern California. I can eat anything I want! MUHAHA!

Enjoy, my good man!

i remember going to america as a kid and having a wendy's, it seemed like the most exotic thing at the time. i mean, square burgers - thats some hubris right there. guessing its probably a really shitty place for you lot.

Wendy's is like any fast food restaurant in that it ranges from genuinely enjoyable to putrid shithole.

We had a good one by my old job. Then I tried one in my home town. Pure shit.

:lol
