Probably limit to the us for feasibility: i want to find out about regional products but also have a chance of getting interesting ones.

For example I recently found about two flavors of soda available in parts of the us but not where I am (Peach Crush, Cactus Cooler). I was able to order online to try them!

What else is regional to you that someone may like? Any communities? Links? Online resources to help?

KC for barbecue; at least a few of the bigger ones will ship.

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

Fantastic. That’s a good one!

One of my local favorites here in the Northeast is a soda manufacturer called Squamscot.. they make soft drinks and have an outstanding Birch Beer flavored one, which I love making floats with.

Always looking for a good birch beer …. 27 flavors ?!?! ROAD TRIP!

Edit: DAMMIT

[–] foodandart@lemmy.zip 2 points 4 days ago

Well, shit! Hm. Hope they find a buyer who maintains the products.

Herr's potato chips from PA are pretty banging. Could really go for a bag of their barbecue right about now.

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

Nice. I do remember liking those but totally forgot until you mentioned since I haven’t been down there in years

[–] Hello_there@fedia.io 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Cheap maple syrup is present in northeast and Canada

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Always an excellent choice, except that I live in the northeast. I grew up where one of the things my grandfather’s farm produced was maple syrup! I’ve always been a huge fan

But of course that’s the hard part: I didn’t even think of it. I’m not entirely aware of it being specific to this region: it’s just a part of Normal life. If someone turned my question back on me, I don’t know if I could answer

[–] Hello_there@fedia.io 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Maple syrup is everywhere in NA. But you have to know that the cheap stuff - aunt Jemima - is just corn syrup. I have been told you can buy it by the gallon over there. Here its more if a luxury product.

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Yeah, corn syrup doesn’t count. I never willingly use that.

Buying real maple syrup by the gallon is not in groceries. You can get it that size but need to seek it out. I don’t use it enough to bother, plus then you need a separate pitcher and need to refill that all the time

There's a small Amish grocery store in Yoder Kansas, it's been sometime but I think they do phone and online orders. Know somebody who once spent 250 just on shipping for brisket from there.

But if you look their German chocolate cake and cinnamon rolls would make even a diabetic die happily.

I think almost every state website features some products made in the state from food to crafts

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

Great idea - I’ll look for them.

I’ll have to track down the link but I had a great one for Chicago - but it’s a damn expensive pizza to have delivered from there

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

Not that I’d complain about non-us ideas, but I want a chance to try them. A couple of recent notables include HP Sauce from England and curry ketchup from Germany
