A good pasty is something to behold, but a big part of it is the crust. I married a yooper and we are heading up there mid April, so I can get my fix then. I always liked how you can get whole smoked fish in Elmer's in Escanaba, white fish, chubs, salmon they are all good. I miss fried alligator from down in Louisiana. Ballreich chips are in Tiffin which is about 20 minutes from where I am living.
:D Vernors Ginger Ale is on the shelves here in Tn.
Good luck.Have fun.Be safe.

Good chicken teriyaki is what I miss
OK What ever happened to "Pluck" When I was a kid my Mom made Pluck soup about once a week! I don't even know what it is now-days All I know is I really enjoyed it!!!!
As a kid in Scotland, we'd have black pudding every Sunday at breakfast. Essentially pigs blood, small bits, herbs &spicrs in a natural casing, these were served in slices that sort of crumbled apart when you ate them.
As a teen in WA State, we'd smuggle them back from BC on each annual trip since the real thing is generally not found in the States.
man, those and a good mincemeat pie- super-tough to find.
I miss Haggis!
Boiled peanuts are great, but Faygo stays on the shelf. Kinda in the same class as R C cola.
John Morrel's Pickled Polish Sausage. Could get it by the case in Az. and So-Cal, but nowhere to be found in Missouri.
I grew up in central Kentucky and the two things I miss are Mingua Bros jerkey and Ale-8-1. Every time my parents come to visit they bring a bunch of both.
Vernors is ok, but I love Goya's Jamaican style Ginger Beer. That has a bite to it :twisted: used to be on the label that they put capsicum (pepper) into it. I still cough on that first sip, but I'll drink a 2 liter by myself in a couple of days. I have to haul all the way out to Madison to find it.
I also love Goya's coconut soda, but that one only in the glass bottles. The plastic 2 liters taste different to me.
I left one off but I think they closed up. I used to live by perry lake, northwest of Lawrence, there was a little butcher shop in meridian, ks that made the best jerky I ever had. Wish I had that recipe.
