I now live in Calera, Alabama and I miss my Utz potatoe chips, Maryland crab cakes and King syrup!!!!

Coddies!

I'm a Texan with a deep-seated longing for pickled peaches on holidays, lunches at Mary of Puddin' Hill (Greenville, TX), catfish at Spruells Cafe (Doddridge, AR) and pecans straight from the tree. I miss divinity candy and non-chewy pecan pralines. And Taco Cabana. I desperately miss Taco Cabana!

Lived in New Orleans, and of all the foods you think a person could miss from there, I miss Zapp's Crawtater and Gater-tater chips and Dixie beer the most.

My sister moved away years ago, and the two things that I must bring on my trips, or send to her, are TastyKake chocolate cupcakes, and Rapa scrapple.
These are must haves!

In B'mo,it's Captain Harvey's for THE cheese steak (extra onions).
Fried crab subs in Fells Point (is Al's still there?)
In New Mexico,it's hot Green Chile anything.
A Green Chile grilled cheese or pizza will make a believer of ya!
The other posters are spot on.
Yum!

I was in the express line at the Beltway Plaza Giant this Sunday. The guy behind me asked the clerk if twenty-four of the same item was okay to get trough the fifteen items or less line. She said, "Sure."

He had twenty-four packages of Berger Cookies! Turns out he was passing through Maryland on his way home and stopped in for the cookies 180 miles before the end of his trip.

There was someone in the car keeping the air-conditioning running. It wouldn't do to let the cookies get runny.

Berger cookies--There are several local delis that try to pass off crappy imposters (this means YOU Snyders). You need to stick with the real deal
Snowballs--the ones with the crunchy ice. There doesn't seem to be anymore in the city.
Chicken box--It is a bmore thing that doesn't really translate in other areas. Extra points if you toss your used bones in the street.
Those no longer around, that I still miss--DeGroen's beers.

As a Maryland Soldier who has been lucky enough to be stationed back in my hometown (after being gone for 12 years), I always missed Utzs, Tastycakes, real snowballs (from a stand that used to be a shed) and Pizza John's pizza. Even though I have been back for a few years it is still special for me when I see this stuff on the shelf or get to stop for a snow ball or pizza.

when i lived in wales, i used to crave mexican food. as you might imagine, there's a severe shortage of mexican food in the valleys of that small country. sometimes when i went to london, i could find a faux mexican place. the first dinner i had when i moved back to baltimore was at el salto.

what a sad day when the grocer told me FROSTIE root beer went under.

While stationed abroad as a US Marine, there was ONE constant care package that sustained me for the duration of each deployment: Utz Potato Chips(plain), ButterScotch/Jelly Krimpets, Squirrel Nuts, Peanut Chews and Bit of Honeys. As a true Baltimorean, I'll NEVER eat a crabcake while out of the state of Md. There are way too many horror stories! lol

As a native Marylander who has traveled up and down the east coast, I can safely say that no other place knows how to make a Maryland crab cake. If I were to ever move, that would be the thing I would miss the most- crab cakes and every other crab related dish around here. The crab meat just tastes completely different here, and most places don't even add Old Bay to the crab dish- a double negative in my book!

I went to college in Delaware, and after spending 7 years there, I have come to miss a number of things. I miss Grotto's pizza (it is way better than anything I've had around here that wasn't a chain), Capriatti's subs (they use real turkey meat straight off the bone), and DP Dough (a calzone chain) Buffalo chicken wing calzones- the best food to eat after a night of partying! Whenever I'm in Dewey Beach, I make sure to stop by the Dagsworthy Deli to get a buffalo chicken cheesesteak- good eats!!

To Frank:

Thank you for your service to our nation and our state! I hear you on Pizza John's- there is no better pizza in the state and no place like John's.

Welcome home, soldier.

Born and raised in Western NY but lived all over. You simply can not get chicken wings ANYWHERE else. And what's the deal with barely any sauce on the pizza in MD?
