I found it all over the place in Florida. Most places here just give me a strange look when I ask about it. I tried my local HEB store again - no luck

Not in the Houston summer heat. That would probably equal heat stroke but I would DRIVE a lot farther than that if I knew where to get it

I've lived south of Houston so I know what it's like.
Noone could pay me to live there again.

White fish - both fresh and smoked
UP Pasties - sigh - never taste as good when I make 'em here
Coney Island hot dogs & Coney fries - the chili dogs I've had here are just sad
Greektown flaming cheese and that wonderful greek bread
Michigan cherries and apples
Cider mills for fresh cider & fresh doughnuts
White Castle burgers -
yeah - I know I can get 'em frozen but they just don't taste the same

Boy I miss Michigan for the food....and the lakes and the festivals!
Don't forget pickled bologna.....
Frankenmuth what a great town....
I also want to add I miss the people.... Nothing like Michiganders!!!!!

I can't think of a particular food I miss so much as restaurants and businesses around Grand Rapids, like:

Robinette's Orchard for apple cider and fresh donuts in the fall
Beltline Bar for "mexican"
Cheer's for karaoke and good, simple food and fun times (I always got their club wrap)
San Chez for Spanish tapas
