Guys, I guess most of you just read the main question and misunderstood it. I am sorry, I could have phrased it better.
I wrote this on a previous post and I just would like to clarify it: I meant to ask "what food item would you bring from the place you have visited?", and please consider it in case one could bring any food item.
Food as souvenirs! It's a lot easier when I'm driving -- I always bring a cooler! -- but I've managed just fine on airplanes, too.

Cheese from Wisconsin, especially cheese curds. When I blow through Cuba, NY, on my way to and from Philadelphia and Erie, I also buy cheese and cheese curds there.
We were just in Williamsburg, Va., and visited local winery and brewery, bought some barbecue sauce from Pierce's PITT Bar-B-Que, and of course Virginia peanuts.
The first time I went to San Francisco I came home with three loaves of sourdough bread. My family hated it and I had to eat it all myself. Dang.
When I visit Cincinnati, I come home with a six months' fix of Skyline Chili. When I visit Erie, I come home with a bag of frozen pepperoni balls, and some of Cleveland's Stadium Mustard that the local grocery stores carry.
Pecans from the Carolinas. Wine from just about anywhere.
A cooler with some ice, diet sodas for me, Capri Suns for the kids or maybe small juice bottles, and snacks like chips, candy, granola bars, maybe fruit leather, beef jerky, or a bag of trial mix.
Olive Oils from Spain /Greece/Italy and Walnut oil and vinegar from France
Cheeses from France/Italy
An assortment of Charcuterie from France
Spider Crab from France ( for some reasons we can only get brown crab in Britain)
Orchard fruits straight from the tree from Spain, France and Italy
For road trips, I like to pack some FF yogurt in a cooler. That way, at least I'll have something healthful to eat on the trip! Usually have a granola bar or two handy as well.
(The "old" me would've brought homemade cookies or brownies and a big bag of chili cheese Fritos or sour cream and onion potato chips. I still miss those days of indulgence, but am much happier in the long run with the more healthful choices!)
