I don't know why you refered to Bleneim Ginger Ale, but I have seen it in local grocery stores here in the Lake Norman Area. Can you not find it? If not I can be more specific.
Didn't you say not available in NY? What I was saying is, it's available here, in NC, and not in NY. I don't consider Lake Norman NY, despite its many transplants!

Good lord, have you ever been out of NC?
I am not a big fan of NYC, but I remember hearing that NYC got Krispie Creme before Philly, & that's been years ago.
Belks is a regional chain & every region has one, for pete's sake.
humility????????? After you made the snarky remark to me & I posted my proof in the NC trivia thread, I didn't see you show any.
The correct sauce for BBQ is what people like in a given area. I believe there are 2 here in NC.
Creamed corn?????? Creamed corn is everywhere. Now if you would have said skillet corn, you'd be right, although one of my grandmothers used to make skillet corn in Michigan, with a spider (skillet).
When you say "up here" are you talking about Manhattan? I know that you can get Texas Pete up north, but Manhattan, like San Francisco doesn't have the large grocery stores, Walmarts, etc. that abound other cities. Manhattan consist mostly of small grocers. When I lived there, there were the occasional items that I couldn't find and had to get in New Jersey. I only use tabasco myself.
Really? Wow. I've never ever had to "want" for anything in Manhattan.
FYI Hot Sauce | Texas Pete® Hot Sauce has a store locator that is showing 10 locations in mid town alone and another 8 downtown that carry it. I'm sure there are a ton of other small markets that get it third party.

Peach ice cream. . .look at Breyers
Sorry southie. Those are all things I've never found in NYC, which I (mistakenly?) thought was the premise of the thread. Of course, I've never lived in NYC so hopefully some of my mistakes can be forgiven.
I have no doubt you can find everything! Even an insult where there is none!
Good to know..never tried it. Dammit all this shake talk is making me want a shake.
I would not steer you wrong on the cook out shakes, try one and grab a spoon (thick old time shakes). Overall their food puts Steak and Shake to shame.

CharlotteGal, I didn't mean to confuse anything. I thought the previous post said that Glenheim couldn't be purchased in this area (Charlotte). I was saying that I had seen it in local (Lake Norman) grocery stores.
