Rodger Pettichord Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Hi fellow Coots. Recently was enjoying a local PNW treat. It's a candy called "Applets and Cotlets," a candy consisting of apple or apricot concentrate made into a gel dusted with powdered sugar. Another PNW favorite is a Mountain Bar, a vanilla nougat lump covered with chocolate and almond bits in the shape of our local Mount Rainier. And so on. Recently, JohnY talked about the excellent Yorkshire-local MIles Tea. We ordered some Smuggler's Gold and West Country Original Blend, both of which my tea-drinking wife loves. That got me thinking... Our Forum members span the globe, which means we as a group can recommend some pretty good regional treats. So I'm putting out the call--what treat(s) would you recommend from your home area? Extra points to those whose recommendation(s) are internet accessible.

Doc_Z Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Green chile cheeseburger. New Mexico runs a contest every year to find the best one. Of course, it must be made with New Mexico chiles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sound like you agree. 21 hours ago, flyingleaf said: Nanaimo bar.Yum Flyingleaf, it looks like the Nanaimo Bar can be made at home. Or, if it's a commercial product, who makes it? Your "Yum" seems to fit the photo perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 We're mad on Chinese food and the Cinese 'eat as much as you like' called 'Meis' in Taunton is a real treat. Apart from that I like chocolate, any sort, any time and everywhere. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ripcord Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 I've had some damn good food in Jackson MS, Teecee… there's some little maw & paw places over there that cook it up right, southern style (I'm from WA state, but I appreciate the food wherever I may roam). As for Houston, don't even know where to start. You name it, really. Fried alligator is good... looks about like what Brad posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just got a mention in a TV show I was watching, a comedy called Schitt's Creek, a very funny Canadian sitcom with Eugene Levy and his son Dan. It was also the first time I had heard the pronunciation of Nanaimo. It was similar to what I had in my head . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
