What is a food that you think is the best, and you will buy it even if you pay a bit extra, or must drive to a different store?
For me its Bay's English Muffins
I'm not sure I could list all of them. I can be picky about food, some by choice, some due to health restrictions. If they don't have what I want, I wait or go somewhere else.
It's becoming increasingly challenging to find my bread, Alvarado St. Sprouted Sourdough Bread (http://www.alvaradostreetbakery.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=10210&Catego ry_Code= - broken link) so that is the current hunt I'm on. I'd have it shipped, but it should ideally be kept frozen so I'd prefer to find it locally again. Ironic considering how infrequently I eat bread, but when I do, that's the one I want.
I have been know to make a trip out of getting something, though. Since I hate to make special trips just for one thing, I'll combine driving out to buy it with running errands, or having lunch with a friend, or even a vacation (just to stock up on something that's hard to find).
I'll second this...they don't sell Knudsen where I live now. I haven't had any since I left Los Angeles in 1988.
I think it must be an LA based brand. Sooooo good. I had it all the time when I was a kid growing up and eventually it found it's way up here, only to dissapear entirely for some strange reason. I don't get it.
But then I AM the Queen of Discontinued, if I like it they quit making/selling it lol.
I am also picky about cheeses. I enjoy Tillamook as well, but I liked Bandon cheeses better (yes, my nic is based on this small seaside town here). An interesting note: NEVER mention Tillamook in anything but negative tones if you visit Bandon, because Tillamook actually bought Bandons cheese factory, which was a hugely popular tourist & local destination. They bought it and completely gutted it, which pissed off the locals BIGTIME.
Hellman's is the best mayo and sometimes I buy the Hellman's light. Heinz Ketchup best IMO, before I got my keurig the best coffee brand to me was/is Maxwell House. Now that I have the Keurig I think Newman's own extra bold coffee is excellent. Breakstones cottage cheese I think is better than any other brand I have tried. Sour cream I like Daisy or Friendship. Deli Sliced Bologna the best is a brand called Wunderbar, It's a German Bologna and it has so much more flavor than regular Boars head bologna or any other brand. My DH prefers Jarlsberg over any other swiss but it 's expensive so I don't buy that all the time. Lastly Ken's salad dressings are my favorite brand.
